🎙️ The Envelope Series – Episode 15 Preview: Unclench My Fist


Listen Later

This one didn’t go where I thought it would.

I sat down to write about sugar again—

the craving, the control, the come-down.

But instead…

I remembered something my grandmother once said.

She called me into the room like she always did—

calm, firm, and carrying something more than just words.

“Son, make a fist for me.”

So I did.

She said,

“Now tell me—can we get anything in?”

I said nothing.

“Can we get anything out?”

Still, I said nothing.

And right there,

in the stillness between her questions,

she handed me a truth

that would take years to understand:

Sometimes the thing you’re holding onto

is the very thing keeping you from receiving

what you actually need.

This episode isn’t what I wanted to write.

But maybe…

it’s what I needed to say.

🎧 Episode 15: Unclench My Fist

Drops Monday at 6:05 AM CT.

Because healing doesn’t always start with a breakthrough.

Sometimes…

it starts with letting go.
