The human experience is, at its core, a series of trials and tribulations that shape us into who we are. For some, these trials can be overwhelming, causing them to question their purpose, their hope, and whether they'll ever find peace in this life.
But it's when we're at our lowest that we are often forced to confront the uncomfortable parts of ourselves and our world. And it's during these times that we can find the most profound truths, the greatest lessons, and the strength to keep going.
In an episode of the Pursuing Uncomfortable podcast, host Melissa speaks with guest Deborah LeBlanc about her journey through life's challenges and how she found hope and purpose amidst them all.
Deborah shares that she faced some incredibly challenging circumstances growing up, including her parents separating when she was just eight years old, her mother's undiagnosed bipolar disorder, and being married to someone like her mother for 35 years.
But through it all, Deborah never lost hope. She found purpose in pursuing education, starting her own fuel logistics company, and now helping others through hypnotherapy.
For Deborah, the key is to own your own journey, to take responsibility for your life and not to blame others for your hardships. By doing so, you can make something out of your life and turn your struggles into triumphs.
One thing that helped Deborah during her struggles was her faith. Melissa and Deborah discuss how faith, despite being difficult to understand, can give us hope and comfort, knowing that there is more out there than we can explain.
And while faith can be a source of comfort and guidance, it's also important to never say "enough is enough," as life can always throw unexpected challenges our way.
Deborah also talks about her work in paranormal investigations, and how even in the face of potentially demonic entities, she relies on her strong faith and prayer for protection.
Through all of Deborah's experiences, one thing became clear: there is always a lesson to be learned. Even in the shortest of lives, there is a purpose and a reason. We should make every day as positive as we can by reaching out to others and making their day better. This will eventually lead to a brighter light in our own lives.
Deborah's journey shows that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. It's up to each of us to pursue uncomfortable truths, to own our journey, and to find purpose in life's challenges.
So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, contemplating giving up, or struggling to find hope or purpose in your life, take inspiration from Deborah's story. Know that even in the darkest of times, there is more out there than we can explain. Keep pushing forward, keep pursuing uncomfortable truths, and know that you are never alone.
