SummaryIn this episode, John and Deborah explore why letting go is so difficult and how our energetic connections to people, experiences, and even identities shape our growth. They reveal how growth is not linear but cyclical, inviting us to revisit lessons at deeper levels of healing. You’ll learn how even mundane tasks like washing dishes can become mindful spiritual practices that prepare you for life’s bigger challenges. The conversation culminates in the idea that completion — finishing a task or closing a chapter — is itself a spiritual initiation, moving you forward on your journey of self-discovery and transformation.
