Cathy and Todd discuss why some people grow from difficult times, and why some people stay stuck and feel victimized by their experiences. They discuss the power of personal responsibility and why taking care of yourself and moving through challenge is a natural and necessary part of human evolution. They also discuss Cecil the Lion, Cathy’s experience at Rob Bell’s lecture, forgiveness, and of course, Revenge of the Nerds.
