Description: Ever caught yourself silently fuming because someone didn’t follow the “unspoken rules”? What if the frustration isn't about them—but about the rules themselves? In this lighthearted yet revealing episode, a simple blueberry picking trip morphs into a powerful exploration of personal expectations, social etiquette, and inner stress. It’s a moment we’ve all experienced—someone steps into our space, and suddenly, we’re not just annoyed, we’re unraveling decades of beliefs. This episode turns a “no big deal” moment into a profound lesson on flexibility, perception, and peace of mind. Discover how minor irritations can illuminate major belief systems that subtly control your reactions. Learn how questioning your thoughts can dissolve stress—even when you feel justified in your frustration. Find freedom in realizing that your rules might be just as arbitrary as the ones you accuse others of breaking.   Press play now to laugh, reflect, and uncover how a shared bush and some ripe blueberries might just help you find a deeper inner freedom.
