This episode is not advice, motivation, or self-help.
It is an orientation.
Across individuals, families, cultures, and history, one confusion repeats with devastating consistency: mistaking injury for identity.
When harm becomes who we believe we are, healing stalls—not because the pain is unreal, but because responsibility feels like threat rather than dignity.
This episode names a single distinction that restores agency without cruelty, compassion without collapse, and responsibility without shame.
It is offered plainly, without agenda, as a message many humans need to hear right now.
Listen slowly.
