Who Would You Be Without That Thought? (And Why That’s So Hard to Answer)

Have you ever felt completely stuck when trying to answer, “Who would I be without this thought?” You're not alone—and this episode reveals why.

If you're on a path of self-inquiry and inner freedom, you know that some thoughts cling tightly, making Question 4 of The Work by Byron Katie especially daunting. This episode dives into the hidden emotional resistance behind that difficulty and how being gentle with yourself can unlock profound transformation—no force, no faking.

  1. Discover compassionate strategies to approach Question 4 when you hit a mental wall.

  2. Learn why your motives aren’t “bad,” and how holding them lightly can lead to real freedom and fulfillment.

  3. Experience the empowering effect of loosening your attachment to stressful thoughts—even slightly—and how that shift can change everything.

Tune in now to explore a radically kind and deeply effective approach to self-inquiry that opens the door to clarity, peace, and true inner freedom.
