Ep. 144: Pain as a Teacher: A New Perspective on Divorce

Divorce can be one of life’s most painful transitions. While it’s common for people to want to avoid this pain, the truth is that pain itself can be the element that opens a new level of freedom, self-discovery, and prosperity.

In this episode, I explain why resisting your pain only hardens your heart and drains valuable resources, such as time, energy, health, and money. Instead, I’ll show you how welcoming and flowing with the pain can help cleanse you of old, limiting beliefs and guide you toward genuine growth.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why divorce pain differs from other types of grief and loss.
• Accepting the divorce vs. accepting the pain.
• How resisting pain costs you time, energy, health, and money.
• Faith’s role in dealing with finances, family, and well-being during divorce.
• Practical steps for allowing pain to “flow through” you, rather than weighing you down.

Ideas Worth Sharing:

“As men, we are taught not to show the visible signs of pain. We're taught to suck it up. Not to show weakness. And a lot of this resonates all the way down to when we were hurt.” – Steve Schleupner Click To Tweet “ In life, we're either growing or we're dying. We're not in stasis. So when you resist pain and you hold on to pain, it keeps you from growing.” – Steve Schleupner Click To Tweet “We are taught and programmed not to sit in pain. But pain, when we see it as a teacher, serves us.” – Steve Schleupner Click To Tweet
