Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss pain vs. suffering. There is a difference! We explore the difference between clean pain and dirty pain.

Clean pain is the natural hurt of being human, the sting of loss, rejection, or disappointment.

Dirty pain is the suffering we pile on top through resistance, self-criticism, and "what if" thinking.

With some practical tools, exercises, and an experience we had this week with a sliver , you'll learn how to recognize when you're stuck in dirty pain and how to gently shift back into clean pain.

This conversation will help you navigate life's challenges with more honesty, compassion, and peace. It will help you move through your pain rather than engage in the suffering of dirty pain.
