Are you using your past pain, anxiety, or "chips on your shoulder" to drive your success? While society often views this as noble or "gritty," this episode reveals why fueling your life with triggered energy is a fast track to burnout and limited results. In Episode 69, Brian Friesen and Laura Duncan deconstruct the "noble" myth of suffering. They explore the biological and emotional costs of staying "triggered" to get work done and offer a more sustainable, limitless alternative: True Self Energy.
