185. Why Your Idea of Peace Might Be Completely Wrong
Nov 24, 2025
What if everything you’ve been taught about peace is only half the story? In today’s episode, I break open the real interior process that leads to lasting calm—one rooted in interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, Christian spirituality, and practical emotional regulation.
After a year marked by personal struggle, inner wrestling, and unexpected breakthroughs, I’m finally ready to share the three-part framework that has helped me find genuine interior stability: Awareness, Attachment, and Abandonment. This episode goes far deeper than “self-care.” It’s about the interior shifts that actually allow you to face stress, suffering, uncertainty, and longing with courage.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, anxious about the future, or spiritually dry, this episode will give you a grounded and hope-filled pathway forward.
