Yes, everything does “happen for a reason” but it’s not what you think.

What if I told you the way you feel about your own body is connected to the way your great-great grandmother felt about hers? You may not know her first name, but her life experiences and emotional responses to them are still impacting yours. Everything in life has a hidden cause.

The relationship we have to the people, events, and ideas are not random. Everything from drug addiction to sexuality to weight gain stems from emotions that lead to actions that lead to consequences. But rarely do we ask where these emotions come from.
