Are You Stuck In One Way Thinking?
10 MINUTES TO LESS SUFFERING
Sometimes we regret not selling that stock. Sometimes we wish we could return to a relationship that’s no longer in our lives. Other times, we force ourselves to love a job we hate or stay with someone we know isn’t right—hoping things will somehow change. We hold on because we believe life has to look a certain way for us to be okay. We can’t imagine it working out any other way. And so, we stay stuck—resisting where life is trying to take us, and suffering because of it. This week’s episode invites you to let go of “one way” thinking and open up to life and all its...

It's Easier To Be Patient Once We Finally Accept There Is No Resolution
10 MINUTES TO LESS SUFFERING
For all the White Lotus fans out there, Season 3 gave us a lot to think about—especially the moment in the finale when the monk says we suffer most when we search for resolutions that don’t exist. We’ve all been there: waiting to hear what our boss thinks about a project, wondering if someone’s romantically interested and they haven’t texted back, or hoping the market rebounds. We get caught up in needing things to turn out a certain way—and in the process, we lose patience, peace, and the present moment. But problems resolve… and then new ones arise. If we’re always chasing...

Get Comfortable With Not Knowing
10 MINUTES TO LESS SUFFERING
Teddy Swims' poignant song called "Some Things I'll Never Know" can remind us that we often linger in the past, grappling with the difficulty of not knowing when someone stopped loving us or why something unexpected happened. However, once we process our pain, the desire to understand the unknowable can keep us tethered to our pain and prevent us from moving forward. This is a much-needed rebroadcast reminding us to let go of what we can't know and embrace the road ahead with all its hope and possibilities.

Is The Present Part Of Our Dreams?
10 MINUTES TO LESS SUFFERING
Are you waiting for life to fall into place before you feel truly happy? In this episode of 10 Minutes to Less Suffering, I dive into how we often resist the present moment—thinking our joy, purpose, or fulfillment lies somewhere else. But what if this moment is already part of the dream?
