About this listen
We've all heard them. "Let go of the past." "Accept what is." "Everything happens for a reason." They're offered like universal truths—phrases meant to calm us down, bring us peace, help us heal. But what if they’re doing the opposite?
In this episode, Tony unpacks the hidden danger in some of the most common advice we give each other. He explains how these well-meaning catchphrases can silence necessary resistance, minimize grief, or even prevent real healing. With honesty and clarity, he offers more thoughtful ways to respond to pain—ways that honor the struggle instead of rushing past it.
If you’ve ever felt like someone tried to fix you with a quote, this episode might be the one you’ve been waiting for.
