Listen as host Amy Rodquist-Kodet, health coach with UK HR Health and Wellness, shares a powerful tool for navigating hardship with greater meaning and compassion.

In this episode, Amy introduces Transcendent Reframing, a practice rooted in psychological research and personal experience, that helps us shift how we carry suffering. Rather than bypassing pain, this approach invites us to name our stressors, reframe them with intention and anchor them in a larger story of connection.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Reframing builds resilience. Naming a stressor, shifting the frame and anchoring it in a bigger story helps us process hardship. It is not about bypassing hardship but acknowledging it within your bigger picture.
  • Small steps matter. Even one intentional reframe can be a powerful move toward a more resilient spirit. Start with reframing small pains or challenges. As you build resilience, practice transcendent reframing with bigger hardships.
