The Unhooked Podcast!
"Testing and Tensile Strength"
Today is a little different because I recorded this episode on my birthday. And birthdays have a way of making you think about things. Not just how old you’re getting, but what you’ve lived through, what you’ve learned, what you’ve survived, and perhaps most importantly, who you’re becoming.
I’ve been thinking about a concept in engineering called "Tensile Strength."
That is the measurement of how much pulling force a material, like steel, can withstand before it breaks. How much weight, stress and pressure steel can take before it breaks. Before steel is trusted to support a bridge, it’s tested. Engineers want to know how much tension it can handle.
And I am aware of how much that resembles our own lives. Because every one of us is going to experience tension. We’re going to experience stress, pressure, anguish, disappointment, loss, and circumstances we never asked for.
Listen to this week's podcast to hear experiences and processes of being taken to a breaking point...but coming back stronger for it.
