69: The Reason You Suffer

“In my experience, suffering ends where meaning begins. When you can zoom out enough to develop a perspective that offers you the kind of Buddha smile of, ah, I see, I could not have designed it this way, and I see that it had to be exactly this way to deliver me to this expanded place of amplified enriched awareness.” — Kelly Brogan MDIn this solo episode, Kelly explores the idea that suffering ends where meaning begins.
