Stop Trying to Find Closure

September 18, 2026 · 30 min

Show notes

We spend our lives chasing closure; in our careers, relationships, beliefs, identity, and definitions of success. But reality rarely fits the neat version we have in our heads.

In this episode, I explore why chasing closure creates so much frustration, why some things in life need to remain open, and how finding closure at the right level can give us something stable to navigate by.
