Don’t Skip the Struggle — It’s Building Your Wings

🦋 What if the very thing you're trying to avoid is the thing you need the most?

In this episode of Mental, we venture into nature to explore one of the most misunderstood skills we all need: adversity. Through the eyes of 9-year-old Mateo on a warm spring day in Gilbert, Arizona, we discover a powerful life lesson—courtesy of a butterfly cocoon, a pair of gentle hands, and a moment that changes everything.

If you've ever asked, "Why is this so hard?" or "When will this get easier?"—this episode is for you. Sometimes, the struggle is the strength.

📍 Because without resistance, there’s no rise. And without adversity, your wings may never form.
