This podcast episode features an enlightening conversation between Brett Larkin and Kris Carr, who shares her personal journey of navigating stage IV cancer and the complexities of grief. They delve into the concept of "ruptures," pivotal moments that disrupt our lives and compel us to confront old pains and traumas. Kris advocates for a proactive approach to dealing with these challenges by focusing on the "what" rather than the "why," emphasizing the importance of acknowledging our emotions—fear, anxiety, and anger—and using practices like self-love and mirror work to cultivate resilience. Their discussion highlights how embracing both the light and dark aspects of our experiences can lead to profound personal growth and a deeper understanding of ourselves.
