The Opportunity in Suffering with Shae Mcmaster
My worth is not tied to what other people’s perspective of me is. It’s what I think of myself.”
Remember elementary school? When we were just super awkward. The days where being “cool” or “popular” was what we all envied. You may recall a specific time where you felt alone, scared, or even lost. The childhood years are some of our most important phases in life. We grow and take in more during those years than the many that follow. Many of us experience trauma that goes unnoticed, packed away and likely unresolved until we finally grasp awareness of it’s source. However, you may be in a position where your trauma was so prevalent that it was too hard to avoid the suffering. Today’s guest, Shae Mcmaster has a deep understanding and experience in this realm.
You don’t know how strong you are until you have to be.”
At 15 years old, Shae Mcmaster suddenly had to grow up much quicker than most his age. After feeling the pain from years of being bullied, he was hit with the death of his mother. Not only did he have to wade through the trauma, but on many levels he felt responsible for his younger siblings and father. He quickly found out that he wouldn’t be able to fight this fight alone. And yet, the suffering wouldn’t go away so easily either. As a means of balance, at the time, he discovered fitness. A new way to combat his anger and pain.
The alleviation of suffering is not getting rid of it, it’s being able to sit with it and accepting it.”
Today, Shae is turning his suffering and past into a gift for others. Teaching movement, mindfulness, and nutrition, Shae created the Enlightened Athlete Gym and training program. He seeks to combine his skill sets in fitness and mindfulness to create a space for others to grow. To share with the world that anyone can truly make it through whatever they’re going through.
The WHY / / Alleviating Suffering through Movement & Mindfulness
Enjoy Shae’s journey as he shares about the impact of his mother’s suicide, how he deals with trauma, and how he’s changing the conversation around masculinity.
