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 favour
Anything 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.
