In this episode of Wisdom with The Wise Counselor, we’re unpacking a powerful metaphor that just might shift your whole perspective: there’s a difference between getting in the shower and taking a shower.

We explore what it means to be present but not engaged, and how that mindset shows up in our relationships, careers, spiritual lives, and healing journeys. Lateef—The Wise Counselor—dives deep into the heart of emotional hygiene, calling out the ways we avoid our inner mess and mistake performance for practice when it comes to wellness.

This episode is for anybody tired of going through the motions, ready to wash off the residue of shame, people-pleasing, and survival-mode living.

You’ll leave with soul-searching reflection questions, real talk reminders, and the invitation to stop standing in the water and start scrubbing with purpose.
