In this episode, Armand DiMele reflects on the challenges and burdens we carry into the new year, using the metaphor of Mr. Bean’s outhouse to illustrate the invisible shields we create to protect ourselves from emotional pain. He discusses the importance of recognizing these burdens and how they shape our lives, while encouraging listeners to embrace their struggles rather than hide them. With calls from listeners sharing their experiences, the conversation delves into themes of acceptance, connection, and the journey toward a more positive mindset.
