And then there's the work underneath. The part that requires something different from you. Not more effort. More honesty. This episode marks a turning point — not just in the month, but potentially in how you think about what health actually requires. I explore what it means to stop managing the symptoms of a life you haven't fully examined, and what becomes possible when you're willing to look at what's actually true. This isn't about tearing your life apart. It's about bringing a willingness to see yourself clearly — the patterns, the avoidance, the stories you've been telling — and letting that awareness be the beginning of something real. Healing, it turns out, has very little to do with information and everything to do with honesty. Want to keep going?
