063: Why Pain Produces More Growth Than Happiness Ever Could with Lilly Rachels

How much pain are you experiencing at work? At home? Why does happiness often seem so elusive?   What do you do in your career when nothing is going your way?   In this episode, prepare to be inspired by the heart-tugging story of Lilly Rachels. A self-proclaimed optimist, Lilly believes that even in the darkest times, the light can be found.    Her own experience of divorce, loss of loved ones, and a physically damaging accident led Lilly to her own dark time… and ultimately to her true calling.    Lilly offers you and me hope, and a roadmap for growing through grief.    She holds a Masters of Social Work from the University of Tennessee, and worked as a therapist, personal trainer, and trauma sensitive yoga instructor before building her own coaching practice for leaders suffering from grief.   So press play and let's chat… because one piece of the human experience we all have in common is pain.   >> Then join The Happy Engineer Community online and get access to bonus content and live coaching in our free group >>   https://www.facebook.com/groups/thehappyengineer    ==========================   SHOW NOTES: Find all the links from this episode and more >>   www.theHappyEngineerPodcast.com   ==========================   COACHING: Ready for promotion, more money, and more FUN in your career?
