In this powerful and emotionally charged episode, we dive deep into the Dead Horse Theory — a metaphor for one of life’s hardest lessons: knowing when to stop forcing what no longer serves you.
From relationships that drain your energy to business ventures that have lost their spark, we explore why we cling to things long past their expiration date. Through vivid metaphors, psychological insights, and thought experiments, you’ll discover how letting go isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a mark of self-awareness, courage, and evolution.
You’ll walk through moments of truth: the burning rope you refuse to drop, the garden full of withered plants stealing life from the new, the snake suffocating under old skin. We challenge you to look honestly at what in your life has flatlined — and to finally find the freedom that comes from release.
Because sometimes, the only way to move forward is to stop riding the dead horse.
