Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast.

This is Albi, the producer of the Dr. Cloud Show.

Thanks so much for joining us.

On today's highlight, Dr. Cloud is going to talk about why we need good struggles.

It's a seeming paradox of growth, but developing new abilities and meeting

new challenges involves struggles. Trees need wind in order to stay standing. They need the stress

of wind to stimulate the growth of deeper roots. It is a parallel that applies to us humans to.

Good stress fosters growth. Just like we need resistance

to grow muscles, we need metaphysical challenges to grow spiritually and mentally. Not only do we need

to change the way we see challenges, but we also need to stop rescuing people, especially our kids or

those under our care, from each and every challenge in order to bring

about resilience and growth into both their lives and ours.

I'd like to take a brief moment here to talk about our upcoming workshop with Dr. Cloud.

It's on healing parental wounds.

It's coming up on October 17th at 5 p.m. Pacific.

In this two-hour workshop, Dr. Cloud is going to help you identify your parental relationship injuries,

understand how to face them, and give you the practical tools and advice you need to grow past your suffering.
