B: Hello, and welcome to The Spiral of Life, where we embrace the highs, the lows, and everything in between. I’m your host, Brams Mudhola, and today’s conversation is designed to uplift, motivate, and transform how you see challenges in life. Joining me is the remarkable Dr. Hitney M. Hitney, welcome! M: Thank you, Brams! I’m thrilled to be here and to help remind everyone that even in the darkest moments, life is working for you, not against you. --- Segment 1: Embracing Setbacks as Stepping Stones B: Hitney, let’s dive right in. One of the hardest parts of life is experiencing setbacks. Why do you think so many people get stuck in those moments? M: That’s a great question, Brams. Setbacks feel like failure because we’ve been conditioned to expect a straight-line trajectory of success. But setbacks are not the end—they’re part of the process. When you’re climbing a spiral staircase, sometimes it feels like you’re going in circles, but every step takes you higher. B: That’s such a relatable analogy. For someone listening who might have just lost their job, for example, how do they start turning that setback into a stepping stone? M: Start by reframing the situation. Ask yourself: What is this moment teaching me? Maybe it’s an opportunity to pivot to a career that aligns more with your values or to develop skills you’ve overlooked. Every spiral begins with self-reflection. --- Segment 2: The Power of Gratitude in Transformation B: One thing that stands out in your work is how you emphasize gratitude, even in tough times. Why is gratitude so crucial in transforming our lives? M: Gratitude shifts your focus from lack to abundance. When you’re grateful for what you have, no matter how small, you train your brain to see opportunities instead of obstacles. Let’s take an example: imagine someone who feels stuck in life. Gratitude might look like appreciating a friend who checks on them, the sunrise they witness, or even their resilience to keep going. B: That’s powerful. It’s like saying, “I may not be where I want to be, but I’m thankful for where I am.” M: Exactly. Gratitude doesn’t deny the struggle; it gives you the strength to move through it. --- Segment 3: Resilience and the Role of Failures in Personal Growth B: Let’s talk about resilience. Life’s spiral is full of failures—failed relationships, businesses, or personal goals. How can people build resilience when they feel like giving up? M: Resilience is built by embracing failure as part of the journey. Look at great inventors like Thomas Edison—he didn’t see failed experiments as defeat; he saw them as feedback. In the same way, your failures are showing you what doesn’t work so you can get closer to what does. B: That’s easier said than done, though. How do you convince someone who’s hit rock bottom to see failure as feedback? M: Start small. Reflect on a time when you overcame something you thought you couldn’t. That’s evidence of your strength. Next, focus on action, no matter how small—one phone call, one application, one apology. Small actions compound into big changes. --- Segment 4: Finding Purpose Through Pain B: Pain is inevitable in life. Loss, rejection, and disappointments hit us all. But you talk about finding purpose through pain. How do people do that? M: Pain often strips away distractions and forces us to confront what really matters. I once worked with a client who lost her home in a fire. That pain drove her to create a nonprofit that helps displaced families rebuild. Her purpose was born from her pain. Ask yourself: What can I create from this pain? How can I use my story to help someone else? Purpose isn’t always about fixing the world; it’s about finding meaning in your experiences. B: That’s so inspiring. Turning pain into purpose gives it a reason to exist beyond suffering. --- Segment 5: Practical Tools to Rewire the Mindset B: For our listeners who want to rewire their mindset and start climbing their spiral, what practical tools or habits would you recommend? M: Great question! Here are three powerful tools: 1. Journaling: Write down your thoughts daily. Start with questions like: What went well today? What did I learn? This helps you reflect on progress. 2. Visualization: Spend five minutes every morning picturing your ideal life. See yourself climbing that spiral, achieving your goals. 3. Affirmations: Use positive statements like I am resilient. I am growing. I am enough. Speak them out loud to reprogram your subconscious. B: I love those tools. They’re simple but life-changing if practiced consistently. --- Segment 6: Inspiring Story of the Spiral B: Hitney, before we wrap up, do you have a story that captures the essence of life as a spiral? M: Absolutely. I met a man who, after being laid off during the pandemic, felt completely lost. He used that “downward spiral” to rediscover his love for photography. Fast forward two years—he now runs a successful photography business and says losing his job was the best thing that ever happened to him. B: That’s incredible. It’s a reminder that what feels like a loss today can become the foundation of tomorrow’s success. --- Closing: Call to Action B: As we close, Hitney, what’s your final message for our listeners? M: Life’s spiral is never meant to trap you—it’s meant to elevate you. Embrace each loop, knowing that growth isn’t always visible in the moment but is happening. Keep climbing. B: Thank you, Hitney, for sharing your wisdom, and thank you to everyone listening. Remember, life’s not a straight line. Every twist, turn, and setback is part of your journey upward.
