In this episode of The Courage to Live, Josh Bitsko unpacks the role of pain, not just physical, but emotional and relational, in shaping who we are. Drawing on personal losses, critical incidents, and lessons from the field, he shares how pain can reveal our limits, point us in a new direction, build resilience, and deepen empathy. Instead of seeing pain as punishment, Josh challenges listeners to view it as feedback and growth. This conversation is raw, practical, and a reminder that the hardest moments in life can become the foundation for strength and healing.
