When life’s storms come, we’re taught to stand our ground — but what if real strength isn’t in standing still, but in learning to bend?

In this episode of The Daily Morningcast, host Alex Hill explores the timeless Zen proverb:

“The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.”

Drawing from the philosophy of Zen, Stoicism, and Buddhism, Alex shows how flexibility isn’t a form of weakness — it’s a strategy for survival.

Through the lens of Everything Everywhere All at Once, you’ll discover how Evelyn’s breakthrough moment—choosing compassion over control—mirrors our own path to resilience.

Listen to learn:

  • How flexibility preserves strength during stress
  • The B.E.N.D. method for adapting without losing your purpose
  • How to disarm conflict through compassion
  • Why surrender can sometimes be the most powerful act of courage

🎧 Falling Forward is a 20-minute guided reflection designed to help you move through challenges with grace, calm, and clarity.
