How many times have you burned a bridge and assumed it was gone forever? What if the bridge was never real to begin with? In this episode, we challenge the obsession with "doing the right thing" and explore how false certainty, self-concept, and regret keep us trapped in cycles of attachment and avoidance. We dive into the dangers of idolizing others, the fear of making mistakes, and the liberation that comes from embracing uncertainty. This is not about fixing the past—it’s about recognizing that nothing was ever truly broken. If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, this conversation will shake your perspective and invite you to see beyond the illusions you’ve created.
