Every ghost story begins the same way: something that should have moved on but didn’t.

All of your unfinished ideas, promises to yourself, and dreams of the future that you keep avoiding.

In this episode, we explore how unlived potential is like being haunted. Drawing from the Ziegarnik Effect and the yogic idea of samskara, we discuss how incomplete actions loop in the mind until they are either lived out or released.

With insights from Greg McKeown, James Clear, Stephen Pressfield, Viktor Frankl, and the Stoics, this reflection reminds us that action is the antidote to anxiety and that motion frees the spirit from its ghosts.

Your invitation: Name that ghost. Write down the project, the dream, or the responsibility that keeps revisiting you. Then take one small step toward it, even if that step is only a decision.

“Do not ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it.” – Howard Thurman

The parts of you that remain unlived are not dead. They are unexpressed potential waiting for you to seize them.

Awareness doesn’t always feel like awakening... it can drag you under before it sets you free.

When awareness pulls like an undertow, it isn’t punishment; it’s responsibility calling you back to what matters. In this episode, Lobro explores how showing up anyway becomes the bridge between intention and integrity. Through honest reflection and off-the-cuff storytelling, he turns a morning of resistance into a meditation on devotion, discipline, and grace.

You’ll hear how awareness makes denial expensive, how presence begins before you feel ready, and how openness keeps the heart engaged when inspiration lags. Because the wave always rewards motion, and every time you show up, even unready, you retrain yourself to be ready.

Fear doesn’t have to a the cage that keeps you small, it is the compass that shows you where to grow. In this week’s episode, Lobro invites us to reframe anxiety, fear, and self-doubt as guidance instead of warning. Through stories of childhood fear, creative hesitation, and personal rediscovery, he reminds us that discomfort is often direction... that the thing you’re resisting might be the very path to aliveness.

With warmth, humor, and presence, Lobro explores how awareness turns fear into data, how one inch of courage creates motion, and how vulnerability connects us more deeply than perfection ever could. Discover how to turn your fear story into your destiny story and walk forward, one glowing step at a time.
