Recently, I had a conversation with my 10-year-old nephew that stopped me in my tracks — because it wasn’t just a lesson for him, it was a reminder for all of us.

I told him there are two roads he can go down in life:

• One where he focuses on everything he can’t do — the problems, the trauma, the obstacles
• And another where he focuses on what he can do — the opportunities, the solutions, and the choices still available to him

This episode is a conversation about choice.
About how trauma, hardship, and pain are real — but they don’t get to decide our future unless we let them.

We talk about:

• How early experiences shape our thinking
• The difference between acknowledging problems and becoming trapped by them
• Learning to quiet the mind when it spirals
• Why focusing on solutions doesn’t erase trauma — it gives us power

No matter your age, background, or story, we all reach moments where we have to choose which road we’ll walk. This episode is a reminder that while we can’t control everything that happens to us, we can choose how we move forward.
