16. From the Depth, Up

In this raw, unfiltered walk through a nature preserve, I reflect on the tension between expectation and alignment. I talk about my decision to step away from Castle Hill, the burden of unspoken obligations, and the surprising peace that comes from letting go. I explore how guilt, scattered energy, and surface-level tasks have blocked me from deep work—and how I’m learning to reverse that cycle by starting from the deepest emotional need first. This episode is about releasing what no longer fits, trusting what does, and rediscovering how to move forward by first going deep.
