Pain Is Your Portal: How To Turn Suffering into Superpowers | Akshay Nanavati

Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 742

Is your fear of suffering keeping you from discovering the deepest treasures of your soul?

Author and extreme adventurer, Akshay Nanavati, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it.

"When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose. The purpose is what it gives you access to. It's the transcendence, the awakening, the breaking down of the illusions, the surrender." - Akshay Nanavati
