Are Relationships Worth It? | Attachment, Healing & Why We Choose the Wrong People ft. Kirby Fling
What if the person you chose wasn't really your choice at all?
In this episode, I sit down with Kirby Fling — trauma and attachment specialist and creator of the Two Mind Method — to explore a question most of us are afraid to ask: if our subconscious wounds are quietly selecting our partners for us, does being in a relationship even make sense?
We get into why we keep attracting the same kind of person, how small moments from childhood end up running our adult relationships, and what it actually looks like to do the inner work — whether you're single, healing, or mid-relationship wondering if you chose the right person.
This one got personal. We talk about losing yourself in a relationship, building a life you'd be happy to live alone, and why a relationship might not be the obstacle to your healing — it might be the whole point.

Ten Days of Silence — What Vipassana Actually Taught Me
I went into a ten-day silent Vipassana retreat in Vietnam. No phone. No talking. No distractions. Ten hours of meditation a day.
Before I went in, I was terrified. I'd never sat still that long. I'd watched others do it and quietly assumed I wasn't capable. But something called me to it — and I decided a long time ago that when I commit, I see it through.
The first three days were brutal. My mind raced through twenty-five years of random memories. My back and knees ached constantly. People around me started leaving. By day three, I was counting minutes on a clock, convinced I couldn't do it.
Day four changed things. You learn the actual Vipassana technique — scanning your body from head to toe, observing sensation without reacting. I discovered that pain isn't solid. When you map it precisely — this corner of my knee, this edge of my ankle — it fragments. It becomes workable. That's when something shifted.
You're not learning about impermanence in the Vipassana discourses. You're sitting there and proving it to yourself through your own body every hour. Every sensation arises. Every sensation passes. You stop craving the comfortable ones and stop fighting the painful ones. Equanimity. That's the practice.
I never stopped shifting in my seat. I never had a breakthrough moment where the pain vanished. But somewhere between day three and day nine, my relationship to discomfort changed. I stopped fighting it.
On day eleven, we broke silence. Reconnecting with the people who sat next to me for ten days — people I'd never spoken to, never made eye contact with — felt like something I can only compare to coming down from psilocybin with someone. That same depth of recognition. That same feeling of being seen.
Integration is hard. I'm back in a busy city. My evening meditations are sometimes seven minutes. But I'm not harsh with myself about it — because that's also the practice. The fuse is longer. Reactions are milder. Things pass faster.
If Vipassana is calling you, you'll know. And if you're ignoring it because you're scared — you'll probably regret that more than ten days of silence ever will.

There Was More Life in Those Five Years | Daniel Wang on Love, Loss & Living Fully
Daniel Wang lost his wife Sherry to breast cancer three years ago. What followed was grief, depression, and addiction. What turned it was a dream.
Sherry appeared — calm, happy, surrounded by her friends wearing her clothes. She wasn't there to come back. She was living. And she asked him: "Are you looking after yourself?"
This conversation moves through the before — who Daniel and Sherry were together — through the fall, and slowly, toward the return. It's about love, loss, presence, and what it looks like to rebuild when the person who knew you best is gone.
Daniel describes his current essence as a "vigilant mouse." Observing. Grounded. Present. Someone who has learned that awareness isn't passive — it's survival.
