Description

This episode examines why people avoid suffering and how trying to eliminate pain by hardening ourselves can create new problems. It advocates for balance, being strong when needed and soft when appropriate.


Instead of controlling outcomes, the host urges living in the present, accepting uncertainty, taking risks without attachment, and trusting that you can endure and thrive no matter what happens.
