1569

Today we’re drawing fascinating parallels between plant biology and personal development. Have you ever marveled at the resilience and beauty of trees? They stand tall, branches reaching towards the heavens, roots anchored firmly in the earth. But have you ever considered the incredible journey trees undergo to reach such majestic heights?

Ep 82. Problems Are Forever

431

Today, we’re diving into a concept that might seem paradoxical at first: “Problems are Forever.” But before you hit pause or wonder if I’ve suddenly embraced pessimism, bear with me. We’re not here to wallow in the gloom of perpetual problems. Instead, we’re about to embark on an exploration of how every challenge, setback, & curveball life throws us is lighting our way to becoming the extraordinary people we’re destined to be. Buckle up, because this transformative perspective is backed by insights from modern-day experts as well as LDS wisdom. Today’s episode encourages to be problem-solvers & life-levelers. It’s pretty exciting!

Maybe you have so much going on that your brain shorts out for a while. So you avoid everything and boredom from the monotony of your routine sets in. It’s a mental state we’ve all encountered, and while it may seem mundane, boredom shapes our lives in surprising ways. We’ll go through it all. 

Ep 72. Cactus Hugs And Buffalo Storms

384

Today, I have two different metaphors to offer you: the idea of Hugging The Cactus and nature’s example of Buffalo Running Into The Storm. Life, much like a desert, presents challenges that can feel as prickly as a cactus, yet by facing them head-on, we discover the strength to endure and overcome.
