Tune in to this episode: A Counterintuitive Approach to Conquering Adversity with Marie-Elizabeth Mali and Nika Stewart. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Go through it in a way that feels good to you. Being diagnosed with cancer is a well-documented process that many people have experienced. But Nika's intuition encouraged her to do things differently. ✔️ Document your experience. Everyone faces and has to overcome some kind of adversity. Write yours down. Take photos and videos, and share your story online. You'll never know who will be uplifted and inspired by your content. ✔️ Imperfection creates connection. Don't wait to put on makeup before getting on camera. Allow people to fall in love with your authentic self. You're also giving permission for others to show up as they are! ✔️ Find the funny in your situation. Vulnerability can mean looking for humor in your situation. While cancer can be depressing for most, Nika chose to turn it around. What's more hilarious than automatically grabbing a barrette even though you have no more hair? ✔️ Be grateful for the lessons. What is this challenge trying to teach you? This setback could be your chance to review your life trajectory and design it the way you want to. You don't have total control over your life circumstances. But you can take charge of how you feel about them.
