Breaking the Blocks

Breaking Free: Healing Through Life's Toughest lessons (my own journey)


Listen Later

Taking a break between Season 2 and Season 3 to reflect on the journey and lessons learned throughout Breaking the Blocks. Thousands of listeners have shared how these conversations about overcoming challenges have inspired their own growth paths.

• Life inevitably brings pain, loss, and unexpected challenges – our growth comes from how we respond
• Understanding our role in our own suffering is key to breaking unhealthy patterns
• We cannot change others, only ourselves – even after 27 years of asking her husband to quit smoking
• Change requires losing old identities and sometimes relationships that reinforce negative patterns
• Finding inner peace may initially feel "dull" compared to drama but brings lasting fulfillment
• Learning patience for gradual change instead of expecting instant transformation
• Extending the same kindness to yourself that you would offer a struggling friend
• Stop arguing with people who cannot understand your perspective
• Practice gratitude for relationships where you're valued and opportunities to grow
• Let go of circumstances you cannot control and view challenges from a wider perspective

Season 3 will return in September with exciting new interviews already recorded. Thank you for listening and being part of this community of growth and transformation.
