Episode Synopsis

What if problems aren’t obstacles to fix, but teachers that transform us? In this episode of Beyond the Box, Tamara Kellam shares the story of “Little Joe,” a five-year-old boy whose childhood injury could have ended his future, but instead opened the door to an unexpected possibility. Along the way, Tamara explores the limits of positive thinking, the wisdom of radical acceptance, and how moving from sense-making to meaning-making expands our resilience.The TEDx Talk that Tamara references can be found here: Donald Davis' TEDx Talk Link.
