This episode was inspired by an unexpected, deep conversation I had downstairs at the café just minutes before hitting record. A table full of strangers turned into real connection — the kind that happens when you drop the filter and speak honestly about what’s actually going on in your life.One moment in particular stood out: when I mentioned my recent separation, the immediate response was, “I’m so sorry.” And that sparked today’s message.I share why I lovingly shut down sympathy — not because people mean harm, but because I refuse to see my challenges as something “bad.” Instead, I break down the belief that’s reshaped my life:Life is rigged in your favourAnything you declare you want — deeper love, a thriving business, better health — requires you to grow into the person who can hold it. And that growth often comes disguised as hardship.I talk openly about my marriage, the darkness it revealed, and how the pain ultimately upgraded who I am as a partner, a man, and a human being.If you’re going through a tough season, this episode will help you reframe it — not by denying the difficulty, but by seeing the meaning in it.   Make sure you subscribe to my podcast to stay up to date with episodes I release every week.
