Why are you still carrying her? Things in life happen, folks. Why don't you put them down after they're done instead of carrying them as a big burden on the rest of your journey.
Ever feel like you're carrying around invisible weights? Bob Gardner, in this episode of 'Alive and Free', dives into how our unseen emotional baggage can weigh us down. Using a fascinating Zen story about two monks, Bob explores how we often carry 'emotional ammunition' that’s ready to explode at any moment. These hidden burdens—anger, resentment, past hurts—don’t just vanish on their own. They need conscious effort to be released.
Bob shares practical tips on how to acknowledge these emotions and move forward without letting them control your life. He even touches on how children can remind us of important lessons adults often forget. If you’re looking for a mix of wisdom, storytelling, and actionable advice on achieving emotional freedom, this episode is a must-listen.
