What Holding On Is Really Costing You
Jun 29, 2026What if the anger and resentment you think you're supposed to keep is actually what's keeping you trapped?
Kris is on a walk thinking about grief, anger, loss, and what we do with it. 2026 has handed her several hard things. But this episode isn't about surviving them. It's about what happens after.
Most of us believe we're supposed to hold onto our anger forever. Like letting it go somehow means we're creating permission for what happened. Like we're minimizing the people we lost or the pain we endured.
Kris is offering a completely different way to think about it.
What you'll learn:
- Why holding onto negative emotions actually strips you of your agency
- How acknowledging your role in circumstances is different from blaming yourself
- The permission you're not giving anyone by letting an emotion move through you
- How to honor what happened without carrying it forever
- What "taking your agency back" actually means in practice
There's vulnerability in this episode. There's also a quiet invitation to stop carrying things that aren't serving you.
