What would you apologize for? What are you grateful about her? What's the most special moment you've shared? Meet Jie and Luo. Jie raised Luo as a single mom in NYC, making sacrifices to prioritize her daughter’s education. Like many relationships, theirs has shifted and deepened over time. We asked them three simple questions, but often the obvious things are the hardest to say out loud. #mothersday #mothersdayweekend #motherhood #motheranddaughter #motherdaughter

Most people can’t grow past a certain point because they believe their pain is what makes them special. So they center themselves in it. Protect it. Justify it. And unconsciously build their identity around it.⁣ ⁣ But here’s what I know to be true…..⁣ ⁣ Your pain is real.⁣ But it’s not unique.⁣ And it’s not proof that the world is harder just for you.⁣ ⁣ What makes me good at what I do is this:⁣ I know how to honor your story, your identity, and the things that shaped/shaping you without using them as reasons to stay stuck.⁣ ⁣ Because while your story is yours… pain is universal.⁣ ⁣ If you want to marinate on this for a bit then here is how this truth is echoed across faiths and spiritual traditions:⁣ ⁣ 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 – “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)⁣ You were never promised a pain-free life. You were promised transformation through it.⁣ ⁣ 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐦 – Life is suffering. But suffering is also a teacher. Attachment to pain is what prolongs it.⁣ ⁣ 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐦 – “Verily, with hardship comes ease.” (Qur’an 94:6)⁣ You are not exempt from hardship. But neither are you abandoned in it.⁣ ⁣ 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐦 – Pain is part of karma and growth not punishment. The self must transcend ego to find liberation.⁣ ⁣ 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐦 – Suffering is not what defines you. It’s what you do with suffering that leads to righteousness and repair. ⁣ ⁣ Spiritual but not religious?⁣ The human condition itself teaches us that pain is a portal. Not a destination.⁣ ⁣ 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮.⁣ ⁣ You can outgrow it.⁣ You can be shaped by it and not centered in it.⁣ ⁣ And you can live a full, powerful life even with a past.⁣ ⁣ That’s what healing actually is.⁣ ⁣ Ready to stop rehearsing the old story and start living a new one?⁣ ⁣ Grab the [Capacity Workbook] — it’s your next step toward growth that’s not tethered to pain.⁣ ⁣ Link in bio.
