Drawing wisdom from acceptance and commitment therapy and real-life stories of resilience and courage, we discuss how pain can serve as a compass guiding us toward our values. Rather than viewing pain as something to avoid, we examine how embracing it can lead to a more meaningful life. Through my personal experiences and the stories of notable figures such as Malala, Oprah, Harriet Tubman, and Mother Teresa, we reflect on the paradox of human existence: to care deeply is to risk hurt, yet it is also the path to a fulfilling life.00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview00:33 Understanding Pain and Its Significance01:53 Personal Reflections and Metaphors03:17 Stories of Resilience and Courage04:02 Personal Story and Insights08:10 Reflection and Call to Action09:06 Program Invitation and Conclusion
