About this episode

What if the power to shape your life wasn’t about what happens to you, but how you respond to it? In this episode, we unpack the concept of free will and what it really means for you.

You may not choose every circumstance, but you do choose how each one transforms you. Whether life feels smooth or stormy, this episode is a reminder: Your growth, your joy, and your transformation are yours to claim.
