The Contradictions That Make Us Wise: Lessons That Only Make Sense with Age

Strategies for Living by David C. McMillian, Ph.D. and Lauren Leon McMillian, M.S.

Episode notes

In this Strategies for Living episode, David and Lauren McMillian are joined by Jay Murrell for a thought-provoking conversation on life’s greatest paradoxes—truths that only make sense as we grow older. From Power vs. Force to the wisdom of Einstein and Jung, they explore why slowing down can help you move faster, why failure fuels success, and how acceptance transforms resistance into growth. Discover the beauty of life’s contradictions and learn how to embrace paradox as the path to wisdom, peace, and purpose.
