Finding Your Lost Heart: Moving Beyond Stuckness and Reconnecting With Yourself

Why do so many people feel disconnected from themselves even when they seem to be doing everything “right”?In this reflective episode of Elsplend Realities, we’re joined by Dr. Glenn Berger — psychotherapist, coach, and author of Never Say No to a Rock Star — for a conversation about emotional disconnection, inner fulfillment, and the quiet process of finding your way back to yourself.Drawing from more than twenty-five years of clinical experience, along with a fascinating earlier career working alongside iconic artists like Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, and Mick Jagger, Dr. Berger shares the deeper patterns he’s observed beneath anxiety, burnout, and chronic stuckness. At the center of his work is the idea of the “lost heart” — the part of ourselves that often gets buried beneath survival, performance, habit, and external expectations.Together, we explore self-awareness, emotional healing, authenticity, self-cultivation, and why lasting growth is less about fixing yourself and more about reconnecting with what’s already within you.This conversation is for anyone who feels emotionally tired, inwardly disconnected, or quietly searching for a more grounded and meaningful way to live.Because sometimes the path forward isn’t about becoming someone else — it’s about remembering who you were before you drifted away from yourself.
