The Freedom in Letting Go: A Modern Take on Attachment (S4 E5)

We all cling to something — success, approval, comfort, control. But the more we hold on, the more we suffer. In a world that tells us to want more, how do we loosen our grip and find rest in enough?In this episode, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore the concept of attachment — why we chase what we don’t have, how desire fuels discontent, and what it means to release unhealthy wants. Drawing on ancient wisdom and modern psychology, they unpack practical ways to find peace, freedom, and contentment in a culture of constant craving.You can also explore previous seasons of The Spacemakers wherever you listen.Discover more:SPACEMAKERS WEBSITEYOUTUBESEASON 4 GUIDEThis season is made possible with support from our sponsors: Bulk Nutrients, Fullers Bookshop, and The Spacemakers Dojo.This podcast is recorded and produced by Wildersound and Production Farm StudiosMentioned in this episode:SM DOJO #4_CHOOSE OWN ADVENTURESpacemakers - Dojo

Why Trying to Be Better Is Bound To Fail (I Do What I Don't Want To Do) (S4 E4)

How much is enough? And when have I done enough? It’s a question saints and mystics have wrestled with for millennia. As humans, we often set high standards for ourselves and fail to attain and maintain them. Perhaps even more unnervingly, if you haven’t done enough, maybe you aren’t ‘good’ enough.Finding a satisfactory answer to these questions is critical to help us avoid overload, exhaustion, and the endless treadmill of self-help. Today, we dive into deeper questions about where we find a self-identity that is uncoupled from what we do where you can honestly and genuinely say “I am enough.”You can also explore previous seasons of The Spacemakers wherever you listen.Discover more:SPACEMAKERS WEBSITEYOUTUBESEASON 4 GUIDEThis season is made possible with support from our sponsors: Bulk Nutrients, Fullers Bookshop, and The Spacemakers Dojo.This podcast is recorded and produced by Wildersound and Production Farm StudiosMentioned in this episode:SM DOJO #4_CHOOSE OWN ADVENTURESpacemakers - Dojo
