Description

What if the problem isn't your problems โ€” it's how you're categorizing them?

In this episode, we share a five-category framework for complaints (from drizzle to hurricane) that will change how you respond to life's challenges. Learn how to calibrate your emotional responses, stop suffering from small stuff, and build the resilience you need when real storms hit.

The wisdom is in the calibration. Most things don't matter at all, and the things that do matter matter a ton. Learn the difference.
