Pain is inevitable in life, but suffering is really optional.
What if you could find peace in the midst of life's toughest moments? In this heartfelt episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol,' host Danni Carr sits down with Sam Brown, a dedicated breathwork, meditation, and yoga teacher. Sam opens up about her deeply personal journey through grief after losing her mother to lung cancer. This conversation isn't just about loss; it's about the profound lessons of acceptance and surrender that Sam discovered along the way.
They chat about the crucial difference between pain and suffering, and how accepting life's challenges can bring a sense of peace. Sam also shares how her spiritual practices were put to the test and how she found strength by leaning into her pain rather than numbing it with alcohol. This episode offers a touching look at how embracing our emotions fully can lead to unexpected gifts in our grief.
Sam even guides listeners through a beautiful practice of letting go (though maybe save this for when you're not driving). Whether you're dealing with loss or just looking for ways to handle life's ups and downs, this episode provides comforting insights and practical advice.
