30. Finding Happiness in Hardship- Embracing Life’s Difficult Gifts ft. Dr. Courtney Burnett

Have you ever read a book that completely changed your life? Andrea and Brooke discovered Difficult Gifts: A Physician's Journey to Heal Body and Mind by Dr. Courtney Burnett and it has transformed their perspective on life, death, and the difficult gifts in between. Tune into this beautiful episode with Dr. Burnett, as she walks Gold Ivy through diagnosing herself with a brain tumor on the other side of the world, the challenges Covid brought throughout her experience, and how she handled the loss of the guaranteed future she had once counted on. Illness and death are a natural part of life and in this episode, Dr. Burnett will help you to understand that if we don’t address the one certainty in life- death- you may forget to live. You’ll hear examples of mindfulness practices, how Dr. Burnett shifts her mindset to gratitude in the midst of life’s scariest moments, the duality of suffering and joy, and how through dying, she has learned to truly live. Find Gold Ivy Health Co. and resources mentioned- Website- https://goldivyhealthco.com/blog/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/goldivyhealthco/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/Gold-Ivy-Health-Co-103783871542834TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@goldivyhealthco?lang=enYouTube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXBMqcMHUwkToYb-kkAuD_wGuest- Dr. Courtney Burnett- MD of Internal Medicine and AuthorBook- Difficult Gifts: A Physician's Journey to Heal Body and MindBlog- https://www.elephantlotusbraintumor.com/blogInstagram- @courtneyjburnett Also find Ivy Unleashed on Spotify and Apple.Find more of Gold Ivy at- goldivyhealthco.comInstagram, TikTok, and Facebook- @goldivyhealthco#goldivyhealthco #ivyunleashedpodcast #ivyunleashed #ivyleague #applepodcast #spotifypodcast #youtubepodcast #mentalhealth #happiness #happinessinhardship #difficultgifts #gratitude #mindfulness #meditation #suffering #death #cancer #cancersucks #braincancer #lotus #covid #thailand #socialsupport #therapy #awareness  #selfgrowth #selfdiscovery #selftalk #journal #selfidentity #behaviorchange #holistichealth #healthcoach #personaltrainer #wordsofwisdom #watchmegrow #listenandlearn #needtoknow #whatilearned #wellness #lifestyleSupport the show
