Do you really have to go through suffering to earn happiness? I used to believe that good things only came after serious hardship. In this episode, I dive deep into why the mindset that good things only come after pain is harmful. I discuss how this belief affects your healing process and how it keeps you trapped in an unhealthy cycle of stress and burnout. I also share how to reframe your thoughts about trauma and joy to create peace and clarity in your life. Tune in to discover how to break free from this cycle and embrace joy without waiting for hardship. Sponsors: OneSkin - Reverse sun damage and aging effects with OneSkin’s products!
