Episode notes

According to Zen, we have big mind and small mind. Small mind is the part of us that allows ourselves to be defined by obstacles. Big mind is the mind that calls these obstacles in for the purpose of growth. This is not just a pump up, it is genuinely how a human being adapts and grows. We call in the obstacles to set ourselves free.

Are you in a season where you keep running into challenge after challenge with no end in sight?

It's easy to feel lost and overwhelmed when looking for answers. But the Stoics believed that everything we go through in life is an opportunity for growth and learning. In this episode, I'll share some of the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius and the true meaning of "the obstacle is the way" and why it's crucial for our growth. I explain how to use challenges and obstacles to create freedom and liberation in your life.
