Episode Synopsis

When life turns upside down — through divorce, loss, job changes, or unexpected transitions — it can feel like everything is happening to us. In today’s episode, we unpack Stephen Covey’s powerful 90/10 Rule: 10% of life is what happens to us, and 90% is how we respond.This doesn’t mean minimizing pain or pretending hard things don’t hurt. It means recognizing that even in the middle of grief, uncertainty, or starting over, we still have agency. We still have choices. And those choices shape our healing, growth, and future.This episode is about learning how to respond instead of react — and how reclaiming that 90% can change everything.
