Burn the Map Ep 8: Forged in the Fire

Nobody signs up for adversity. We do everything we can to avoid it. But no matter how hard we try, storms, setbacks, and fire will find us. The good news? You weren’t just built to survive the fire—you were forged by it.

In Episode 8 of the Burn the Map series, I share the lessons from Chapter Seven, Forged in the Fire. From sea turtles struggling to reach the ocean, to the minefield moments that shake us, this episode is about how adversity doesn’t just test us—it reveals and strengthens us.

This episode also includes a special bonus clip from Shawnie, one of the Warriors featured in Burn the Map.

In this episode:

  • Why adversity is not here to bury you, but to strengthen you
  • What sea turtles can teach us about struggle and survival
  • How to stop making life harder than it needs to be
  • “Minefield moments” and how to handle the unexpected
  • Why adversity is not your kryptonite—it’s your superpower
  • Shawnie’s inspiring clip
