144: Pain & Suffering: How can it serve you?

Episode 144 Todays show I share a little story about changing our trajectory by dreaming without fear and why I think pain can actually serve you and get you to where you want to go! Transcript: You’re listening to Episode 144 of The Art of Living big. Alright, so on today’s show I have, I want to talk to you a little bit about suffering, and struggle and pain. But before we do that, I want to tell you a little story about my husband and I, okay, which doesn’t have to do with struggle and pain, although there is some struggle and pain in any kind of marriage. I’m sure of it. Maybe he’ll come on the show. Let’s invite him. Craig, come on the show. And let’s talk about struggle and pain. All right, but so today’s story really quick. So I am a big huge believer that, as you know that, like anything that you’re actively thinking about anything that is in your subconscious, or like as Abraham Hicks would say, in your vortex, right, so the things that you have been thinking about that you’ve programmed your subconscious to dwell on, or the things that you’re going to bring to you. And I was last Saturday, Craig had a basketball game to go to at UGA. And you’ve heard me talk about his love of sports before. And he invited me to go with him to the basketball game. And so I went and it’s like, I don’t know, maybe 45 minutes to get to Athens from where we live. So it’s a little bit of a drive. And so I was sort of excited about it. Because we’ve both been so busy that we haven’t had much of a chance to really talk. So we got in the car, and he was about to put on a podcast. And he said, Do you want me to put on a podcast? Or do you want to talk? And I was like, let’s talk. So I have this little thing that Craig and I have done now for a long time. And I’ll offer it to you because maybe you will like this. But I was feeling there. You know, there are so many cool things about this show that I really love. And doing this show every week got me through like hard times, you know, when I’ve talked before about my struggling with my daughter last year, and and that is over. But it got me through that right where I had something to show up for. And so I feel like I I love this show. And I love the people that listen, I’m like so honored, because I know there’s five kajillion different podcasts out there. And so I want this year to have something really cool happen with the show. Like we get a lot of downloads, I think it’s a lot of downloads. And honestly, like I used it in the very beginning, I’d get like 20 downloads, but it was 20 people that were listening to my show. And now sometimes it’s up to 10,000 people in a month that listen to the show. And I’m honored by that. And so I want to do something really cool with the show. So I said let’s do let’s dream and talk about what could happen with the show. So the cool thing about this whole process is that the rule is, is that nobody’s allowed to poopoo what the other person says. So you know, if I say something that I want to have happen, Craig’s not allowed to start coming up with the reasons why that’s not a good idea, or why it might not work, right? So really, the rule is like you can’t spread your doubt all over somebody else.
