In this episode, I explore why experiencing pain is the pathway to growth and the key to creating your best life. Thank you, InsideTracker (https://insidetracker.com/passionstruck) and Ka’Chava (https://www.Kachava.com/passionstruck), for sponsoring.
Often times hardship halts even the best of us in our tracks. It becomes this heavy weight that stops us from becoming our best selves. But in this episode of the Passion Struck podcast, I will explain why experiencing pain in life allows the vast, dormant power within you to awaken and express itself. I will build upon this premise by discussing my own personal journey and how I experienced pain and grew from it. But, more importantly, I will explain how my story applies to you and how you can turn to experiencing pain as a pathway for personal growth.
When we cannot incorporate challenges caused by experiencing pain, they halt our progress.
