Imagine turning pain into power.  My journey to Stoicism began with a tragic loss – the death of my mother. In the aftermath, I discovered that letting go of the struggle against what we cannot change and focusing on what we can, can be the key to reducing emotional suffering. I talk about that in today's episode and I also share a recent, real-time application of radical acceptance from when I found myself in a car accident with all four of my kids in the vehicle with me. Today we will dive into the philosophy of radical acceptance, exploring how to live with purpose, choose gratitude, and extend compassion. We also discuss the power of personal responsibility, understanding that we are in control of our reactions, and the freedom that comes with setting and maintaining boundaries. This episode is a call to action - to face life's tougher moments head-on and find within ourselves the strength to navigate through them. Thank you so much for lounging with me today, and each week over the last couple of months! This summer podcast project of mine has been lovely and y'all have made it such a wonderful experience <3. If I make plans to come back for a season two, I will definitely let you know. Until then, let's make a great day and keep striving to be our best selves! Peace, y'all!
