Welcome back to another episode of the Finding Peace podcast after a brief hiatus. In this emphatic episode, we delve into the concept of whether everything that happens to us is for our good. Sometimes life presents us with seemingly awful circumstances, often uttered at funerals and making it difficult for people to find comfort. However, this catchphrase can have profound meanings when carefully pondered.
This episode shares a story about a Chinese wealthy man who experienced several turbulent events. The tale highlights the profound truth that what might initially seem bad, could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. If we can lean into the discomfort of these situations, perhaps we can see these events unravel into something good.
However, it's not always easy to accept these situations with grace. This episode brings to light the struggles we might face when faced with adversity, and the importance of not succumbing to our doubts and fears. Recognizing that personal growth often comes from our lowest moments can act as a soothing balm in our difficult times.
What if every rejection, setback, or failure was truly meant for our own good? Could we develop a more open-minded perspective when faced with disappointment? This thought-provoking discussion aims to challenge listeners to see these possibilities through a different lens.
The host also highlights an insightful analogy about what to do with the 'poop' of life. We can isolate it, ignore it until it's unbearable, or we could use it to enrich our lives, the same way farmers use manure to fertilize their crops. It attempts to illustrate how personal growth can blossom from our darkest moments.
Finding Peace podcast invites everyone to share their thoughts about the lessons they learn from the messiness of life, reassuring everyone that they are indeed loved and worth it. It's a journey, and we all share our unique path in it.

In this powerful life testimony, Troy shares his struggle with addiction — an ordeal that not only threatened to destroy his marriage, relationships, and spirituality but also his consciousness of self. Battling shame and deep feelings of unworthiness, he paints a picture of the struggle that comes when one is fighting an addiction.
Unexpectedly, he found that sobriety didn’t automatically translate to happiness. Instead, it opened floodgates to suppressed emotional wounds — rejection, neglect, abandonment, loss — which he had numbed over the years with his addiction. Confronted with all this unresolved pain, he grappled with enormous bitterness, resentment, and anger, pushing him close to a suicidal abyss.
Troy discovered attachment wounds in his pursuit for help, which sparked a transformation. The newfound clarity helped him realize that these wounds were the root cause of his emotional honesty. He started cultivating healthier responses when dealing with rejection and abandonment, improving his relationships and actions towards his loved ones. On this journey, he developed the Finding Peace process and workbook — a methodology to heal the pain inside and refrain from causing misery and heartache to others.
In this transformative journey, attending a retreat was integral. Its unconventional and interactive approach to learning deeply impacted him, finally leading him to open a private practice and convert his experiences into a full-time practice. He extends an invitation to the ‘Finding Peace Retreat’ for those weighed down by rage, resentment, worry, or depression. He encourages those struggling with attachment wounds to experience a novel and creative approach to learning and finding peace amidst their challenges.
As he concludes, he shares insight on the importance of rewiring our internal narratives from negative to positive. The speaker urges us to fight the 'I'm not enough' mindset, and instead, he relentlessly emphasizes the immense capability and endurance we have as individuals.

The issue that Sher would like to find more peace and joy about revolves around her daughter's constant requests for financial assistance. Whenever she receives a text or call from her daughter, it triggers anxiety, fear, dread, and sadness because it usually means her daughter needs money. This situation has created a lack of peace for Sher for a long time because it reminds her of her childhood experiences of poverty, neglect, and abuse.
Sher's daughter's addiction and her requests for money bring up deep-seated wounds from her past, including feelings of abandonment, neglect, and not being good enough. She sees parallels between her daughter's behavior and her own experiences growing up, leading to betrayal, loss, and abuse. Sher also shared that her daughter had gone missing for several years while battling addiction, which added to her emotional turmoil.
Seeing her daughter's name on her phone triggers these painful emotions, and the core belief that gets activated for Sher is that she is not good enough. This belief stems from her childhood experiences of feeling unloved and unwanted, as she was adopted at a young age without anyone fighting to keep her.
The emotions that Sher experiences in response to her daughter's messages are primarily sadness and fear. She used to provide her daughter with financial support to ease her discomfort, but she realized she was doing it to soothe her emotions rather than address the underlying issues. Now, she's trying to establish boundaries and have conversations before providing financial assistance, but it remains challenging.
Sher's struggle with her daughter's situation also leads to shadows of shame, including feelings of rebellion, self-criticism, and powerlessness. The presence of grandchildren in the equation makes the situation even more complex and emotionally challenging for her.
