Today we hear a hilarious tale of Sarah battling things that scurry AND mysterious wetness all at once. Her worst nightmare is our collective moment of laughter, so we thank her. We hear how to extend your life by ten years with...games? We learn the science between mental, emotional, social, and physical strength that can help you live longer and better. We hear why Sarah claims to have no regrets at all and Susie is "riddled with regret." Sarah finds the upside to trauma with the "post-traumatic growth." We hear what the four types of strength are, and how tiny little things can help you achieve them. Plus, we interview Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis, where he encourages you to take the hard road so you can have a better, more fulfilling life.
