About this episode

This episode reflects on the show Severance and the timeless desire for a reset—to start fresh without the weight of the past. At first, it might seem like a relief to separate parts of the self, to live without stress, fear, or regret. But true freedom doesn’t come from forgetting—it comes from how each moment is met.

The real reset is right here, right now—determined by our perspective of what is before us. And MAYBE it changes everything.
