177: Turn Adversity into Assets with Tar'lese Rideaux

Purpose Through Pain

We all face difficult times in our lives that can lead to stress. How do we deal with it, learn from it, and manage it? Tar'Lese is no stranger to dealing with stress; however, she is not confined by it either. Listen to how Tar'Lese takes you from dealing with parents who committed suicide, to life-threatening injuries to her body, to living a life on her own terms by using stress management tools.

In this episode:

• Tar’lese shares how she starts teaching people how to get rid of stress.

• Tar’lese and Joseph discuss the challenges they have overcome and how they surpassed them.

• Tar’lese talks about addressing and processing emotional pain, and focusing on identifying and acknowledging feelings rather than avoiding or suppressing them.

Key Takeaways:

• People only share their highlights and best moments on social media, so don't compare yourself to others.

• Taking the first step is to assess the situation.

• There is no right or wrong, nor good or bad, you have to release the emotions you've been bottling up and then address them.

Tweetable Moments:

1. "At the end of the day, when you're going through your own stuff, it feels like no one else understands."

2. "Vulnerability brings healing to us, but it's our transparency that brings healing to other people."

3. "Pushing through the pushing through is really pushing away."
