The Role of Struggle in Personal Growth
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Craig Siegel and Sharon McMahon to welcome the new year with insights on progress, communication, and growth. Sharon shares her perspective on why embracing mistakes leads to faster success, the importance of intellectual humility, and how language shapes the communities we build. We also discuss the human tendency to seek validation, the role of struggle in personal development, and how spiritual insights can guide our paths. Sharon’s journey from aspiring physician to celebrated teacher and New York Times bestselling author of The Small and the Mighty is a testament to the transformative power of purpose and perseverance.
