Description

In this episode, we talk about why pain might actually be the secret to a happier life—and how struggle gives your story meaning. You’ll learn why the hardest moments shape you most, how the “IKEA effect” proves we love what we build through effort, and why chasing an easy life leaves you empty. From Viktor Frankl’s wisdom to finding peace in your own grind, this one’s about changing your relationship with struggle so it stops breaking you—and starts building you.
