A Borrowed Lens: Finding Grace in the Glimpse

from The Soul Podcast - Tools For a Joyful Life · host Stacey Wheeler

Send us Fan Mail  In this episode, Stacey shares a moving real-life encounter with a stranger in a wheelchair who, with two playful words—“Nice legs”—delivered a profound gift of perspective on a morning when his own aching knee felt heavy. Through this tender exchange, he explores the transformative power of self-enhancing humor, the choice to rise rather than shrink in the face of loss or pain, and how a single moment of connection can reframe our struggles and remind us of the freedom that lives in Viktor Frankl’s sacred “space” between stimulus and response.Support the show and unlock bonus episodes for $5+ patrons: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheSoulPodSHOW NOTESQuotes:"'Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.' — Viktor E.
