Shark Theory

What Are You Really Carrying?


Listen Later

In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor shares a powerful parable about a monk rushing to buy tofu—and the hidden weight he didn't know he was carrying. Just like that monk, we often move through life unaware of the burdens weighing us down: stress, shame, pride, fear, or even unresolved dreams. Baylor reflects on his own journey, from walking Dallas streets in deep stress years ago to realizing how unseen baggage can cost us opportunities and peace.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why survival mode often blinds us to what we're carrying.

  • How hidden stress, guilt, or fear shows up to others even when we think we're holding it together.

  • The importance of identifying your "blind spots" through self-reflection and trusted feedback.

  • Practical ways to start removing invisible burdens so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Quote of the Episode: "The world won't slow down for your stress—so stop carrying what no longer serves you."
