Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2454289/fan_mail/new] You’re collecting a paycheck, but secretly polishing your resume. Is that dishonest—or just practical? In this episode, we explore the ethical tension of job hunting while still employed through a Buddhist lens. We’ll look at the Middle Way between guilt and justification, Right Intention, and the liminal space of bardo—the in-between state where clarity often begins. If you’ve ever wondered how to honor your current commitments while still making space for change, this one’s for you.

What If My Business Partner and I Want Different Things?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2454289/fan_mail/new] You started with a shared vision—but now the path is splitting. What happens when you and your business partner no longer want the same things? Do you push forward, part ways, or try to realign? In this episode, we explore the discomfort of diverging goals through a Buddhist lens—drawing on teachings about impermanence, attachment to outcomes, and relational clarity. You’ll hear reflections on: * How to navigate misalignment without blame * Why fixed views create suffering * What it means to let go without giving up If you’re facing hard conversations in your work or creative life, this episode offers insight into moving forward—skillfully and honestly.

If He Loved Me, He’d Go to the Doctor: Love, Control, and Letting Go

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2454289/fan_mail/new] What do you do when someone you care about refuses to take care of themselves? It’s easy to feel helpless, angry, or convinced that love should mean compliance. In this episode, we explore the painful intersection of love and control—what we think it means to care, and what it actually means to let go. Drawing from Buddhist teachings on compassion, non-attachment, and the illusion of control, we’ll look at: * The difference between love and responsibility * How to sit with fear without trying to fix * Why letting go isn’t giving up If you’ve ever thought, “If they really loved me, they’d change,” this episode offers a gentler, wiser path forward.
