In this episode, Riley Couture explores the theme of hope through personal anecdotes, particularly focusing on her son's encounter with a praying mantis. She reflects on the signs of hope that can be found in everyday life, the symbolism of the praying mantis, and the lessons of patience and resilience that come from these experiences. The conversation emphasizes the importance of finding joy and meaning in small moments, especially in the context of parenting and personal growth. TAKEAWAYS Unexpected signs of hope can be found everywhere. Children often teach us valuable lessons about care and compassion. The praying mantis symbolizes patience and spiritual clarity. Finding meaning in difficult times is essential for growth. Hope is not always innate; sometimes we have to seek it out. Resilience is about enduring challenges and continuing the journey. Moments of joy can restore our faith in humanity. Parenting brings unique challenges and rewards. Personal growth often comes from reflection and contemplation. It's important to appreciate the gifts in our lives.
