62. Why Are You Still Carrying Her?

About this episode

This episode reflects on the importance of letting go of mental burdens and the difference between following rules and true freedom.

Why Are You Still Carrying Her? | Learning When to Let Go Episode Description In this episode, I read a personal reflection inspired by a night at a place that no longer exists—the historic Dark Horse Saloon in Boulder, Colorado. What started as a simple night out turned into something deeper… a lesson about the mind, desire, and what we choose to carry long after the moment has passed. Through an old parable— The Two Monks and the Woman —this episode explores a truth that hits at the core of recovery, identity, and integrity: You can follow every rule… and still be the one carrying the weight. This is a reflection on letting go—not just physically, but mentally. Not just behaviorally, but internally. If you’ve ever struggled with intrusive thoughts, temptation, or the feeling of being stuck in your own mind…this episode is for you. 🔑 What This Episode Explores The difference between the letter of the law vs. the spirit of the law Why avoidance alone isn’t true freedom The danger of “carrying” thoughts long after the moment Reframing how we see beauty, desire, and dignity What real transformation actually looks like 📖 Read the Full Reflection 👉 Why Are You Still Carrying Her…
