In The Light You Carry, Alex Hill explores the quiet strength of hope — not as a fleeting emotion, but as a practiced discipline. Featuring the timeless wisdom of Desiderius Erasmus’ quote, “Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself,” this episode invites you to see positivity not as a mask, but as a muscle.
Through the lens of The Shawshank Redemption, we examine Andy Dufresne’s defiant hope — a light that cuts through stone walls. Along the way, we’ll visit Stoic and Buddhist teachings on resilience, awareness, and the art of illuminating others by choosing to stay bright ourselves.
Whether your own light feels like a bonfire or a flickering flame, this episode reminds you that every act of kindness, courage, and creativity expands the glow.
