When life gets tough, it’s tempting to just hope it passes—but what if the challenge is the opportunity?

This week Shawn invites professional performance coach and author of Inner Excellence, Jim Murphy, onto the podcast to unpack the Shawnism: “Don’t Wish It Away.”

Shawn and Jim share how growth and transformation often live in the uncomfortable moments, and why resisting hardship can rob you of your greatest breakthroughs. They also explore why a meaningful life balances joy and suffering, the subtle power of gratitude, and how to embrace vulnerability to break free from ego.

Plus, Jim gives us his tricks to living a life of gratitude every single day, and how finding your purpose can help push you far beyond whatever challenges you may face in life.

If you’ve ever wished the hard stuff away, this episode will change your perspective on how to embrace and overcome it.
