Episode 3584:

Shana Olmstead shares a powerful mantra from her 98-year-old great aunt: AFGO, "another f*ing growth opportunity," reminding us that every challenge is a chance to expand our consciousness and evolve. With practical advice on cultivating awareness, reframing challenges, and trusting the universe’s plan, Shana invites us to see life not as a series of problems, but as an ongoing, loving curriculum for personal growth.

Quotes to ponder:

"Every annoying person or long line or painful experience, it’s all here to teach us and help us grow."

"There are no problems, I am not a victim, life is a teacher, and I am a student."

"Surrender, surrender, surrender. When you feel you’ve surrendered enough, keep surrendering."
