There is no next move.

from Grit and Zen Podcast Hosted by Kurt Armstrong

In this episode of the Grit and Zen Podcast, “There is no next move” I reflect on my journey toward radical acceptance and a philosophy of “no next move.” Working as a bartender, I discuss my choice to quit alcohol, my reassessment of heavy cannabis use, and my belief in living without judgment. I explore the idea of stripping away life’s imposed layers—such as language, gender, and socioeconomic status—comparing them to paint on a canvas that obscures our original state. I share my past experiments with material and digital renunciation, including burning my college degrees and deleting social media, as a way to shed baggage. Ultimately, I advocate for finding the divine in the present moment and viewing everyday experiences and interactions as my ultimate teacher. This is a public episode.
