Let Go or Be Dragged

What if the very thing you're chasing — the relationship, the career, the money — is being pushed further away by your need for it to happen? In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, Ryan explores why grasping for what we want (or forcing ourselves to "let go" of it) misses the real work: building a relationship with your inner world. Drawing from a conversation with an old friend who's spent decades wanting a relationship to "come in," Ryan unpacks the difference between temporary happiness and true inner peace — and why avoiding sadness and loneliness by chasing outside things keeps us stuck.
