What life taught me when everything went wrong

Some of life's most important lessons aren't learned when everything is going according to plan—they're learned when it absolutely isn't. In this episode of Life After: From Surviving to Thriving, Jill shares three unexpected lessons she learned while navigating toxic and narcissistic relationships and the adversity that followed: your mindset changes what you're able to see, you have more choices than you think, and there is more than one way forward. You'll learn how to stop trying to solve your entire life at once, distinguish between having no choices and simply not liking your choices, and expand your options when you can't yet see a solution. Because sometimes moving forward isn't about having the perfect answer—it's about finding the next piece of the puzzle. KEY TAKEAWAYS Shift your mindset Optimism may be the key!
