Growth isn’t supposed to break you — it’s supposed to shape you. In this episode of The Better Path Podcast, we explore what it really means to stretch instead of snap. You’ll learn how to find the balance between comfort and chaos, why consistency beats intensity, and how to apply the same principles that build strong muscles to build a resilient mind and life. Featuring the timeless story of the Chinese bamboo tree, this episode reminds you that true progress often happens underground — quietly, patiently, and steadily — until it finally bursts into view. Because growth that lasts isn’t about pushing harder; it’s about staying in tune with your limits while expanding them, one stretch at a time.
