The Gift of Pain: Why We Should Stop Ignoring It
Episode description
"Pain isn't a bug; it's a feature." I first heard this quote from grief expert David Kessler on the Dr. John Deloney Show (give it a listen HERE if you want to check it out). This particular phrase hit me, and it really stuck with me.
In today's episode, I'm talking about the gift of pain and why we should stop ignoring it. Pain is not an anomaly - it's not meant to be shoved down or something we need to fix. Pain draws our attention to something so we can learn what's going on; it's an invitation for us to grow because it shows us what needs more focus and attention!
In this episode, I cover:
- Changing how we view pain and its purpose for us
- What can happen when we ignore pain and the signals it sends us
- My experience with a major pain point in my own life
- Practical ways to engage with pain
- Getting curious on where pain is showing up in your life
