In this episode, we talk about the possibility that there is a purpose to our struggles, and if we see them differently, a lot of growth can happen. No one escapes pain and suffering, it is part of our shared humanity! When we see that there is a point, we can start to see ourselves differently, and accept that our struggles are important, therefore we are important. 

Why do Type C people lie? No surprises here - we lie so we don't burden someone else, so we don't disappoint someone, we want to be a strong team player. In this episode, Kore and Anna talk about all of the reasons we lie and why it's important to our health to live more honestly.

Excessively conscientious Type C people find making mistakes excruciating since we hate disappointing other people, we hate letting them down. In this episode, Kore and Anna share stories about mistakes from their respective worlds and some strategies for better handling them.
