I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬

Some seasons just suck. And if you are in one right now, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode you are going to hear the story of Deanna, a woman who turned her husband's eight hour chemotherapy sessions into weekly picnic adventures, complete with a pretend flight to Italy, first class and coach included. Her story is going to change how you think about hard things.

You are also going to learn why resisting the hard stuff makes it harder, what Buddhism and yogic philosophy have taught for thousands of years about suffering and attachment, and where the phrase embrace the suck actually came from. 

By the time this episode is over you will have a new framework for the hard seasons, a permission slip to stop labeling things as good or bad, and one practical question to ask yourself the next time life gets heavy.

This one is for the woman in the middle of something hard who needs a reminder that getting through it is its own kind of beautiful.
