Back from Turkey, Tyler reflects on how shedding expectations—both subtle and loud—is transforming his relationship with discomfort, connection, and self-trust. From travel delays to trimming his back hair, every moment becomes a classroom for surrender. He explores how even pleasure can become more profound when it’s not chased, how preferences can be honored without being attached, and how the real teacher may not be a guru—but the energy itself. This episode is a grounded dive into what it means to live in the paradox of full sovereignty while releasing control.
