I carry pain. Pain does not carry me.

We’ve all heard the saying “everything happens for a reason.” But what if it doesn’t? What if some things are just downright unfair, painful, and senseless?In this episode, I’m talking about why we don’t have to find meaning in every bit of suffering, and why it’s okay to sit with the mess, without trying to polish it into a life lesson. Abuse, grief, heartbreak, they don’t need to be turned into some big inspirational story.It’s not all doom and gloom though. There’s hope, honesty, and a bit of grit. This one’s for anyone who’s tired of being told to find the silver lining, when sometimes you just want to say, “no, this was just shit.”Come have a listen. It’s a bit raw, a bit real, and definitely from the heart.
