The importance of combining personal stories with research to deepen understanding. Kim reflects on how meaningful questions often lead to lasting transformation. Shifting from asking "Why did this happen?" to "What can this teach me?" The value of slowing down and reflecting on life's unexpected challenges. Daral shares four powerful reflection questions: What just happened? What does it mean? What am I learning? What gifts might come from this experience? How curiosity creates space for healing, resilience, and growth. Kim discusses how adversity often reveals strengths we didn't know we had.
