Summary:

In this soul-baring episode, Paul sits down with author and creative voice P. Lister to explore what it really means to grow through emotional pain. From the depths of Vipassana meditation to the vulnerability of writing a deeply personal book, P. shares how facing pain — instead of fleeing from it — became her path to healing and creative freedom.

This conversation is a reminder that growth doesn’t always feel like progress — it often feels like breaking. But you’re not broken. You’re just growing.

Topics Covered:

  • Why emotional pain often signals transformation
  • The surprising lessons of 10-day silent meditation
  • How vulnerability fuels creativity
  • What it means to write the truth — and stand for it
  • How to stop seeing yourself as broken and start owning your journey

Power Quotes:

“You’re not broken — you’re just growing.”
“I thought I was falling apart. I was really just unfolding.”
“My mind created more suffering than the pain.”
“The stories I feared most… became the doorway to healing.”

Host Paul Ryan is an entrepreneur, 8 figure business owner, mentor, podcaster and creator of the 1-Hour CEO Mastermind. As a CEO, Paul has a depth of 'real life' experience of what it takes to be successful in business and life.
