In the middle of a studio purge of art supplies and collage papers, I discovered an old magazine and sat down with it. What I found inside stopped me in my whirlwind of organization.

The image of a blue marlin, eight feet in the air, twisting against circle hooks and line, fighting with everything it had to free itself.

I recognized an earlier version of myself in that image. The drag path. The thrashing. The years of being pulled behind circumstances and limiting beliefs before finding my way back to the helm.

This episode opens a two-part series built around that image and a journaling exercise to examine your drag path, offering an unflinching look at the whos and whats holding the rod in your own life.

Tune in to this episode for discovery, and prepare for next week, where we liberate ourselves from the hooks that hold us captive.
