69: The Reason You Suffer

“In my experience, suffering ends where meaning begins. When you can zoom out enough to develop a perspective that offers you the kind of Buddha smile of, ah, I see, I could not have designed it this way, and I see that it had to be exactly this way to deliver me to this expanded place of amplified enriched awareness.” — Kelly Brogan MDIn this solo episode, Kelly explores the idea that suffering ends where meaning begins. She discusses the teleological approach to emotions, highlighting how struggles often meet deeper needs and how recognizing the innocence behind behavior can suspend shame.
