Hello and welcome to the Mindfulness Awakening Development podcast. I'm your host, Michael, joined by Dez, and together we're delving into the complexities of human experience in our episode, "You Suffering, Bro?"

Today's focus is on understanding the essence of suffering in its various forms—physical, emotional, and spiritual. We'll explore the subtle distinctions between suffering and pain and contemplate how our perceptions shape these experiences.

Additionally, we'll examine the role of suffering in mental health, questioning its prevalence in conditions like depression and anxiety, and discussing the potential benefits of addressing suffering for mental well-being.

So, settle in for an insightful and thought-provoking discussion as we explore these nuanced topics. Let's get started.
