What we push away pushes back

The physics of letting go… and wanting what's meant for you

For a decade, I thought letting go of my worldly desires would bring me peace.

I was wrong.

I used spiritual perfectionism to hurt myself. I guilt-tripped myself for having “unspiritual” feelings. I romanticized renunciation while still wanting to host dinner parties at the monastery.

Then I figured it out…

What we push away pushes back and gets stronger.
What we embrace transforms and strengthens us.

This is the introduction to my new book, Bless & Release: The physics of letting go—and wanting what’s meant for you.

With love,


In this episode:

  • Why people who let go with ease are more joyful (they don’t avoid pain—they bless it)

  • The spiritually romanticized torture I put myself through

  • How I stopped criticizing myself for having “unspiritual” feelings

  • The Bless Practice: heart centered energy work you can do in 90 seconds

  • What happens when you stop pushing away the pain and chasing the desires

  • Why we’re turning to AI for spiritual direction (please stop)

  • The radical truth: instead of repressing suffering…bring it in closer
