Riding Life's Rollercoaster: How to Embrace the Highs and Lows and Why We Need Them
Description
If there's one thing I've learned while caring for the dying, is that life isn't good or bad per se
It's BOTH
And it's precisely the existence and contrast between the two that gives meaning to our lives.
In this short & sweet episode, you'll hear how an experience of highs and lows in my own personal life helps to illustrate this concept and how you can apply it your own life

- Allowing yourself to feel joy and happiness in the present moment
- Leveraging uplifting memories to find solace during trying times
- Leaning into the good times and soak up the moments when you do experience them
