Bad Medicine and Good Luck

Is bad luck worse than bad medicine? Explore how luck, karma, and pain shape life—and why now is the best time to tackle challenges and summon your inner strength.

What’s better: good medicine with bad luck or bad medicine with good luck? It’s not the kind of question you expect to pop up in everyday life, but once you start thinking about it, it’s surprisingly… sticky.

In this episode of Lucky Footprints, we’re diving into “Bad Medicine and Good Luck” with E.J. Gold. He tackles some of life’s big, weird questions, like how much luck and karma actually steer the ship of your life, and whether pain is just a nuisance or something more. (Spoiler: pain isn’t optional, but it might just be your ticket to summoning higher forces—if you’re willing to work through it.)

E.J. also offers a reality check about timing. Waiting until you have more time? Hate to break it to you, but you’ll never have more time than you have right now. So, whether it’s cleaning up your karma or tackling life’s inevitable pain, the moment to act is always this one.

Watch the episode and find out why E.J. says bad luck trumps bad medicine—and how understanding this might just shift your perspective on what you can handle, no matter the odds.
