Episode 16: Choose Your Hard

Written By Kathryn Sandoe

On this episode, we dive deep into why 2025 has been HARD for so many of us. It's been "brutiful" (both brutal and beautiful) in many ways. We explore the different types of hard and why THIS hard is different, yet essential to living a meaningful and fulfilling life.

We also touch upon the concept of "grateful yearning" and why this calls us to choose our hard. Including how it conjures a fear that often keeps us stuck, much like a chained elephant. The only way to break free is to face the truth that is within us and untether ourselves from fear.

I hope this episode inspires you to choose the hard that leads to freedom and joy. And know that you are not alone in this journey. Choose your hard.
