In Episode 131, Billy Donnelly is all about learning and growing. First, he dives into why he'd share such an embarrassing story as he did in Episode 130 - The Emergency Poncho. He talks about his belief that sharing our experiences -- even those which have affected us negatively -- can help others feel less alone as they deal with similar situations or circumstances. In addition, he talks about the level of comfort it can give oneself knowing that your issue is not unique and that others have gone through it, too. He discusses how normalizing certain things and removing the stigmas attached to them are huge helps in reducing shame, embarrassment, and the idea that there's something wrong with you. Furthermore, he explores people's resistance to learning and growing. He understands that it's not an easy or convenient process. However, he stresses that, if anyone is worth the difficulty that comes with it, it'd be you. He talks about not freezing yourself in time but trying to be more empathetic and understanding of others but also yourself, and that sometimes in order to get to the other side, you've have to go throw the not-fun stuff first.
