Avoid Avoidance (#324, 29 June, 2025)

Welcome to a special Sunday edition of The RockneCast! Today, June 29, 2025, I had a lightbulb moment while navigating a tough conversation with my mom. The revelation? We’re both avoidants! Doubling down, I then realized... So is my dad!! We're avoidants.

Don't be like me. Avoid avoidance.

This hit me hard. So many personal and professional challenges linger because I sidestep them, hoping they’ll magically resolve. Spoiler: they don’t. In this episode, I dive into why we avoid tough issues, unpack how I became an avoidant, and share a practical approach to confront problems head-on.

The good news is that this state of being an avoidant is not set in stone. You can address it. It's a skill that can be learned and practiced just like any other skill. I am taking my first steps down that path.

Join me for this eye-opening episode, and here’s to a fantastic 4th of July week ahead!
