”Be Grateful For The Pain” with the Inspiring Tashina Dunham

What if the hardest season of your life became the one that finally taught you how to live? We sit down with Tashina Dunham to trace a path from a tough Wisconsin childhood and the grit of team sports to a divorce that demanded self-work, and a love story written in the shadow of terminal illness. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the real-time lessons of presence, faith, and self-worth learned the hard way and shared with uncommon honesty.

Tashina shows how sports can wire us for life’s fourth quarter: pushing through fatigue, trusting teammates, and playing the next play. She opens up about leaving a marriage to grow, then choosing to love a man whose prognosis forced radical clarity. The shift from frantic fixing to simply sitting together changed everything. In hospital corridors, she discovered a calm that looked like prayer and felt like breath, and a community that showed faith as warmth rather than judgment.

We explore the quiet tools that heal: meditation, sound baths, grounding in nature, gardening as ritual. We talk about looking strangers in the eye, calling the cashier by name, and turning off the loud news to meet the human next door. Tashina’s definition of a win is simple and powerful: a conversation where someone feels safe enough to tell their story. Along the way, she offers a mirror test for leadership and healing alike—being able to look at yourself and say, I’m proud of you.

If you’re craving resilience, spiritual calm, and the courage to be present, this conversation will meet you where you are. Listen, share with someone who needs hope, and tell us: what small act grounds you today? Subscribe, leave a review, and join us in choosing presence over panic.
