This is one of my most popular podcasts from a few years ago about trying to move forward from a painful experience. Sometimes, it is hard to let go and gain wisdom because we get stuck in the stories of who or what hurt us. And then, we use these stories to try to avoid the pain in the future. But, only the wisdom we cultivate from these experiences--whether it be greater self-love or resilience--acts as the true light, leading us to new possibilities.

I am reposting this podcast from a few years ago because it seems relevant to moving forward in this ever-changing world. Most of us know what it is like to have an unpleasant business or personal relationship—it can leave us feeling bitter.

At some point, we may need to choose whether an experience will leave us “bitter” or “better.” It is not always easy to let things go, but if we...

After spending the weekend binging Netflix's Love Is Blind Season 2, I started to think about this universal need we all have to be loved and cared for unconditionally.
