Gifts from the Unexpected, feat. Jillian Benfield (Enneagram 3) [S07-002)


Listen Later

We live in a world where we are faced with profound suffering on the news all day long and we see too much suffering of the world. But how do we take the unexpected things that happen to us and somehow breathe new life into them?

Author of The Gift of the Unexpected: Discovering Who You Were Meant to Be When Life Goes Off Plan, Jillian Benfield believes, “No matter what your unexpected circumstance is–you don’t have to classify it as good–but I do think that good can come out of it and that [good] is that we can change through our unexpected circumstances if we’re willing to go all the way through it.” 

Listen as Jillian shares the unexpected gift that helped shift her perspective and find true self-worth.
