Episode details:
How many times have you heard the words, “Everything happens for a reason”? While this phrase and mantra can support the divinity that exists and is present throughout our human lives; it also can hold us back from processing the very real human sensations and feelings that can arise inside of us during challenging or difficult situations or circumstances. Cait and Lindsay unpack how we can process difficult emotions without needing to assign a purpose or reason to every one of them.
