## Resource

In today’s episode we challenge a reflex most of us don’t even realize we have . . . the instinct to label discomfort as offense. Not everything that stings is harmful, and not every hard conversation is a wrong done to you. Sometimes, what feels like offense is accountability knocking at your door. And if we’re not careful, we’ll reject the very thing designed to help us grow. Today we unpack the difference between being wronged and simply being called higher.
