In this episode of the Joy Superpowers podcast, I'm talking with Terry Tucker about Coping with pain. Terry has had quite an extraordinary life as he has been an NCAA Division I college basketball player, a Citadel cadet, a marketing executive, a hospital administrator, an undercover narcotics investigator, a SWAT Team Hostage Negotiator, a high school basketball coach, a business owner, a motivational speaker, and most recently: a cancer warrior.
Additionally, he is the author of Sustainable Excellence: Ten Principles To Leading Your Uncommon And Extraordinary Life. In 2019, Terry started the website "Motivational Check" to help others find and lead their uncommon and extraordinary lives (www.motivationalcheck.com).
Furthermore, you can follow Terry's journey on LinkedIn and Facebook.
During this episode, we are discussing themes such as:
- Pain is inevitable and everyone experiences different kinds of pain
- How important it is to have hope in our lives and how much more our physical bodies can handle than we think they can
- Turning your negative thoughts into something positive
- Getting out of your comfort zone and doing things that make you uncomfortable and scared.
