Even when life looks great on the outside, old scars can make us want to run.

In this heartfelt episode, Ben Walters reflects on lessons from his dog, Denver, Colorado. Denver is a rescue with a painful past and a relentless drive for “more.” Through Denver’s story, Ben explores three powerful truths: the courage to seek better, how trauma travels with us, and how our search for something greater can unintentionally take us away from what we truly need.

Sometimes the hardest part of growth is realizing that healing starts where you already are.
