We have witnessed a notable shift towards an aversion to pain at both the individual and societal levels.
In our quest for comfort and security, we often find ourselves navigating paths that steer clear of discomfort, challenges, and potential sources of adversity.
This trend towards pain avoidance, if allowed to persist unchecked, carries the risk of impeding our authentic development as a society.
In Episode 31, hosts Adrian and Bri discuss the the symptoms of pain avoidance, the risks associated, and the nuances between.

Is resilience a gift or a curse?
We must first define what it truly means to be resilient and identify the ways that culture has misrepresented what it means.
Resilience, a term that is often used in the context of facing life's adversities and challenges, prompts a deep examination regarding its nature and impact on individuals.
In Episode 29 of the New Rules Podcast, we take a practical look into how being resilient can be the most challenging, yet rewarding component of our lives.
We’ll examine:
How coming back to your authentic form is the true definition of resilience
Why our culture is prone to lack resilience
The importance of knowing your values
Choosing a life surrounding what’s important to you
The importance of checking your motives throughout daily life
Why you must face reality in order to grow from experiences
