Why do we hang on to past hurts, toxic friendships, and petty arguments like our lives depend on it? In this raw and revealing episode of The Jocular Pugilists, Phil and Tomas dive into the emotional baggage we all carry—grudges, guilt, trauma, and fear—and explore the brain science behind why letting go is so damn hard. From childhood trauma to political divides, social media pressure to personal shame, the guys peel back the layers with honesty, humor, and a bit of self-deprecation. Packed with relatable stories and actionable insights (plus a healthy dose of sarcasm), this episode offers a refreshing take on how to move on, mend relationships, and make peace with the past.
