It Is What It Is: The Practice Of Peace And Power

With Whitnie Wiley

Life often presents us with situations we wish were different, demanding bosses, strained relationships, or circumstances that feel unfair. The phrase "It is what it is" can sound like resignation, but in truth, it can be a path to peace and power. This five-part course will guide you through three core practices: acceptance, detachment, and agency to help you stop fighting reality, reclaim your energy, and choose aligned action with clarity and courage. Each lesson includes reflective prompts and a gentle multiple-choice "quiz" designed to deepen your self-awareness.
