Embracing Adversity: A Pep Talk

Oh man, ngl I really love this episode. I hope you do too. It’s a heart-to-heart about the psychological benefits of embracing adversity, discomfort, pain, and our own mortality. Sound dark? It’s anything but. Tune in and let it inspire you to go live a meaningful life 🛸

INSIDE THE EPISODE ~

• my new favorite show ever: Human Playground

• comparative heroism and being the hero of our own stories

• rewriting our reaction to pain + one of my favorite mantras to push through pain

• intentionally engaging challenges to hone our “overcoming skills”

• overcoming adversity as a universal human experience that connects us all

• reflecting on our own mortality as a sure path to feeling alive

• heavy lifting is kind of like “microdosing mortality” lol

• lifting heavy as a way to connect with our deep, primal, driving life force

• building a relationship with the part of us that drives us forward towards our goals
