Letting go is often romanticized — a peaceful “next chapter,” a clean break, a sign of healing.
But what if letting go isn’t calm or enlightened…
What if it’s brutal, confusing, and nothing like what “spiritual advice” tells you?

In this episode, we explore the real emotional process behind holding on, releasing someone you love, outgrowing old identities, and knowing when to let go vs. when to hold on.
We dive into avoidance disguised as wisdom, the fear of detachment, grief as transformation, and the raw identity shift that happens in relationships, breakups, and personal growth.

If you’re navigating heartbreak, a difficult ending, identity change, or the confusing space between holding on and moving forward — this episode is a mirror.
Sit down, breathe, and let’s unravel the truth together.

Gratitude isn’t a soft prayer of thanks.

It isn’t a mantra to make life easier or sweeter.

Real gratitude humbles you. It strips away illusion.

It burns entitlement, dismantles control, and leaves you bare…

but awake.

On this episode of The Holistic Couch, we sit with gratitude not as comfort, but as rebellion, as sacred destruction, as the silent prayer that refuses to be polite.

Prepare to feel it ache. Prepare to be challenged.

Because the gratitude that truly matters… might just break you.

We’re taught to run from pain — to fix it, numb it, or dress it up with positivity.
But what if pain isn’t here to break you… but to wake you?

In this episode of The Holistic Couch 🛋, Richard invites you to look at discomfort through a new lens — not as punishment, but as transformation in disguise.
Through raw reflections and grounded storytelling, we explore how pain, heartbreak, and failure can become the fire that refines us — the alchemy that turns our wounds into wisdom.

So find your quiet corner, take a breath, and join the conversation.
Because sometimes, healing begins right in the middle of the burn.
