[LIGHT WORK] Ep 2: The upside of suffering… sort of

LIGHT WORK : A podcast with Desire Map author, Danielle LaPorte

No tip-toeing in this episode: I deep dive into the unfathomable, beautiful lessons we may learn from pain… without falling for the New Age speak that would have us gloss over real suffering. Also in this EP:

• The 3 types of suffering (knowing what you’re experiencing is key to liberation)
  • Everyday suffering—the slog, the general malaise, the greyness.
  • Interconnected suffering—the feeling a lot of us have because of the agony in the world.
  • Brutal tragedy-type suffering—seemingly insurmountable circumstances, violations, and losses.
• How some New Age perspectives on suffering utterly fail us, invalidate us and keep us from liberation.
• My damn the man retelling of the Princess and the Pea story that illustrates how to keep moving forward, when the day-to-day takes it out of you.
