Listen Later

Ever feel like no matter how much inner work you do, the anger or guilt just won’t budge?

If you've ever found yourself stuck in the same emotional loops—frustrated that your work on yourself isn't "working" fast enough—you're not alone. In this open and vulnerable episode of Wiggle Room, Todd Smith explores the nuanced and often misunderstood journey of practicing The Work of Byron Katie. This episode is especially relevant if you find yourself battling the dual stress of wanting emotional relief while judging yourself for not progressing quickly enough.

  1. Discover why trying to force emotional healing can actually slow you down—and what to do instead.

  2. Learn how to navigate the delicate balance between caring too much and becoming overly detached, especially in close relationships.

  3. Get inspired by real-life insights, including how doing the work consistently over time can transform your relationships, your sense of responsibility, and your inner peace.

 

Listen to this episode to find grounded encouragement and real strategies for moving through emotional stuckness with grace and persistence.
