Episode 175: How To Grow Through What You Go Through: The Power of Post-Traumatic Growth



There’s a powerful quote that says, “A bad day for the ego is a great day for the soul.“ That one line has become a mantra for us, a reminder that some of the shittiest things we go through can create quantum leaps of growth and resilience. Think of that shit as fertilizer, because we grow through what we go through. 

So today we’re chatting about the psychological discovery of post-traumatic growth, and how some of the challenges we’ve faced in our lives changed and redirected us for the better. 

Tune in as we talk about: 

  • What’s post-traumatic growth, and how can it help us process hard times? 

  • The framework of reinforcing post-traumatic growth 

  • Disrupting our core belief systems after a traumatic event

  • Disclosure and the importance of sharing 

  • Our struggles with binge-drinking and job loss

  • Reclaiming your narrative and writing your own story
