The Bird in the Garage: Escaping Control, Binary Thinking, and the Illusion of 'No Way Out'
Update: 2025-07-08
Description
A couple weeks ago, I was spiraling — emotionally wrapped up in something that felt impossible. My thoughts were looping, my nervous system was lit up, and I was trying to force a solution that didn’t exist.
Then I walked into my garage and saw it —
A bird.
Desperately flapping against a closed window, completely unaware that the doors were wide open just to the side.
It could get out.
It just couldn’t see another way.
And in that moment, I knew —
I was the bird.
In this episode, we go deep into:
- What binary thinking does to your creativity, intuition, and energetic clarity
- How control isn’t always about "fixing" — sometimes it’s just you believing there are only two ways, and both are terrible
- The real difference between letting go and giving up
- And the wild moment I finally understood the difference between aligned action and nervous system-driven gripping
If you’ve ever felt trapped in a story that keeps looping, convinced there’s no other way…
this is your invitation to stop flying into the window — and finally notice the open door.
