Coals, Legos, and Grass: Why Every Struggle Deserves Compassion

from Getting Through Today · host Brita Bigler Peterson

Welcome to Season 2… starting a little later than planned, and honestly, that’s okay. In this episode, I’m giving myself permission to begin again, even when life doesn’t go according to schedule.Today I’m diving into how we compare our struggles to others. Whether you feel like you’re walking on pavement, grass, Legos, or burning coals, the truth is, we’re all walking through something hard. This episode is a gentle reminder to stop minimizing your pain just because someone else’s looks different.We talk about seasons of life, the pressure to keep creating when it feels impossible, and how to give ourselves credit for showing up in the ways we can — even if it's messy or slow.This one is for anyone who’s in the middle of a tough season, trying to keep going while holding a lot.
