Feeling stuck in stress can sometimes come down to how you interpret what you’re going through. In this episode, we explore a powerful shift: seeing challenges as opportunities for growth rather than threats to avoid. Through a personal story of navigating prolonged illness, I share how meaning can be found even in difficult experiences—and how that perspective can change your emotional response. We break down the concept of “macro meaning” and how it helps retrain your brain to meet stress with resilience, purpose, and a greater sense of direction.
