Often times hardship halts even the best of us in our tracks. It becomes this heavy weight that stops us from becoming our best selves. But in this episode of the Passion Struck podcast, I will explain why experiencing pain in life allows the vast, dormant power within you to awaken and express itself. I will build upon this premise by discussing my own personal journey and how I experienced pain and grew from it. But, more importantly, I will explain how my story applies to you and how you can turn to experiencing pain as a pathway for personal growth. -► Get the full show notes for all resources from today's episode: https://passionstruck.com/growth-lies-other-side-of-experiencing-pain/ -► Want the transcript: https://johnrmiles.com/why-experiencing-pain-is-the-pathway-to-growth/ --► Prefer to watch this episode: https://youtu.be/_j9RwbloUY8 --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 Thank you, Ka'Chava and InsideTracker, For Your Support InsideTracker is the ultra-personalized performance system that analyzes biomarker data from your blood, DNA, lifestyle, and fitness tracker to help you optimize your body and reach your health & wellness goals.
