This episode is about what happens when the path you're on isn't working—and you finally let it go.
"O'Birdie" started from a familiar structure, drawing on traditional folk songs. After a full day of trying to make it work, nothing felt right.
So I threw it away.
In that moment—without a plan, without a direction—something new appeared. A simple moment, looking out the window, shifted everything. The chorus came quickly, and from there, the rest of the song followed.
In this episode, I break down:
• Why forcing a solution can block better ones
• What happens when you reset completely
• How breakthroughs often come after abandonment
• Why starting over isn't failure—it's part of the process
The song is just the example.
The real topic is how letting go of the wrong approach creates space for the right one.
Because sometimes progress doesn't come from pushing forward—
it comes from starting over.
