#123: What I Wish Never Happened, I Am The Most Grateful For | Jack Beers

At a young age, Jack learned he had an incurable disease. That naturally brought lots of physical and emotional pain into his life. But through that suffering, the lessons he learned and the transformation he experienced led him to say, “The thing I wish most never happened, I am most grateful for.”

In this episode, we discuss what led to that transformation and more:

• The bitterness and loneliness he felt and how his life looks now
• Our tendency to “replay” the trauma we’ve endured and what to do if you feel stuck
• Why we need mentors in our lives to guide and challenge us, but also to help us see our blindspots

#119: Broken is What Happened to Me, Not Who I Am | Stacey

After her parents divorced, my guest felt abandoned and badly hoped it was all a dream that she could just wake up from. Dealing with all the brokenness that followed led her down a path of feeling stuck and thinking her brokenness defined her.

Thankfully, she realized that “‘broken’ is what happened to me, not who I am.” In this episode, we touch on that and more:

• How just having the pain of your parents’ divorce validated is incredibly helpful and often the first step of healing
• The many emotional problems she’s had to battle, including anxiety, depression, anger, self-hate, control, and loneliness
• The tendency in people like us to allow fear to hold us back and cause us to play it safe, but how healing can free us from fear
