Episode 89: Turning Pain into Purpose

Pain is something we all experience. Hardship can feel isolating, whether personal loss, unexpected struggles, or overwhelming seasons. But what if your pain could be a stepping stone to something greater?

In this episode of To Help You Heal, I'm talking about turning pain into purpose—not by ignoring the hurt, but by allowing it to shape us in ways that lead to impact. If you've ever wrestled with the "why" behind your hardships, I want to invite you into a new perspective: Instead of asking why this happened, what if you asked what now?

We'll talk about:

✨ Why pain is universal—and why that matters

✨ Shifting from "Why did this happen?" to "What can I do with this?"

✨ How pain stretches us, grows us, and reveals strengths we didn't know we had

✨ Using your story to encourage and inspire others (even in small, everyday ways)

✨ How to find the people who need your wisdom and experience right now

Your pain doesn't define you. But what you do with it can change everything—for you and for others.
