Why It's Okay "Someday" Never Comes

In this episode, we're talking about the trap of perpetual aspiration and the liberating power of accepting that some dreams are meant to remain just that—dreams. We explore the profound understanding that we're not meant to pursue every single dream we conjure up, and the real issue isn’t that we’re not achieving these dreams; it’s that we’re perpetually beating ourselves up for not chasing them. We delve into the concept of radical acceptance and how it can lead to true transformation. We discuss the importance of letting go—not as an act of surrender but as an act of self-love and self-forgiveness. We also look at how the process of letting go can unlock potential and create space for new opportunities to arise—opportunities that fit who we are now, not who we thought we’d be.
