Feeling trapped between chasing your dreams and giving up completely?

This episode dives into the mental tug-of-war that keeps so many of us stuck in suffering—believing we must achieve something (a marriage, a green card, success) to feel okay, while also being crushed by the idea of letting go of those desires.

In a deeply honest and moving conversation, you'll witness the unraveling of this inner conflict through "The Work"—an experiential process that doesn't demand perfection or even detachment to begin. If you've ever felt torn between extremes, or if your mind uses even spiritual teachings to beat you up, this episode will resonate.

In this episode, you'll discover:

1. How to find a middle path between "wanting it all" and "giving up everything"

2. Why the root of your emotional pain isn’t what you think it is—and how to gently meet it

3. A way to hold your desires with love without being consumed by them

Start listening now to experience how peace is possible—even when life doesn’t go your way.
