Hello, Brilliant Beings! It’s Karen, fresh off the workout train and into the heart of life’s unpredictable journey. Today, we navigate the rugged yet rewarding terrain of life’s adversities, inspired by the resilience and dreams of John Tesh and the wisdom found in the friction of our own lives. Let’s explore how our trials are not merely obstacles but the forge in which our strength, purpose, and joy are shaped.

In This Episode:
Diving into the concept that our greatest selves are formed in friction, we reflect on personal stories of overcoming and adapting, drawing parallels to John Tesh's remarkable journey through music, adversity, and ultimate triumph. It’s a reminder that the rainstorms of life, like those at Red Rocks, are not endings but beginnings if only we’re prepared to play through them.
