What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Kendell Boysen, a professional life and recovery coach, tackles this very question in her thought-provoking episode, 'Choose Your Hard: Finding Strength in Life’s Tough Choices.' Kendell invites listeners to consider the hard choices we all face and how embracing them can lead to personal growth and empowerment.
From marriage and divorce to financial discipline and debt, Kendell explores the notion that while life is undeniably challenging, we have the power to choose which challenges we tackle. With anecdotes and expert insights, Kendell encourages her audience to shift their perspective from feeling like victims of circumstance to active participants in their own lives. The episode highlights the importance of recognising our agency in choosing the 'hard' that aligns with our values and long-term goals.
Whether it's choosing to have difficult conversations or opting for financial discipline over impulsive spending, each decision shapes the path we walk. Kendell draws on wisdom from figures like Viktor Frankl and James Clear to illustrate how our responses to life's challenges define us. She provides practical strategies for reframing difficulties, breaking them down into manageable steps, and owning our choices. The message is clear: while we can't always control what happens to us, we can control how we respond.
This episode is not just about making tough choices; it's about understanding that these choices are investments in our future selves. Kendell's warm and engaging style makes this episode both enlightening and encouraging, offering listeners a fresh perspective on handling life's inevitable challenges. So, what 'hard' will you choose today? Remember, the choice is yours.
