Built for the Cold

17 Embracing Adversity - Separation Season Series

Joe Wanner Episode 17

"You don’t get to choose whether life hits — but you do get to choose what you do next." – Joe Wanner

The Reality We Don’t Talk About
 If you’ve been facing adversity, battling setbacks, or struggling to rebuild, this episode is for you. I talk about what happens when life doesn’t go as planned — and how personal growth, mindset shifts, and self-discipline are forged in the fire of those moments. We dive into why this season of adversity might be your separation season — the one that defines your next chapter.

The Power of Choosing Your Hard
 You don’t get to opt out of difficulty, but you do get to choose how you face it. Whether it’s walking through loss, rebuilding after failure, or trying to stay committed when you feel depleted — this episode breaks down how to reclaim your power and choose the hard that leads to transformation. Because not choosing is still a choice.

What Comes Out of the Fire
 This isn’t about surviving — it’s about growing. Adversity doesn’t just test who you are; it reveals who you’re becoming. I share moments from my own journey where things could’ve broken me but instead became fuel. And I challenge you to ask yourself — what if this storm isn’t the thing stopping you… but the thing preparing you?
