S4 Ep118 Lee White: The Weight We Carry

Lee White describes his resentments as rocks in a rucksack. He’d take them out, revisit them, then carry them around again. Today I’m joined by Lee, a hospital director who speaks openly about addiction, rebuilding his life and the daily work of staying well. He shares an experience in Thailand where two people he had harmed offered him forgiveness. We explore what that taught him about his own resentments, taking responsibility and learning to respond rather than react. We also talk about the expectations we put on people without telling them, being honest about how we feel, and sticking with change when it’s uncomfortable. Lee brings us back to a simple practice: doing the next right thing. In his relationships, in helping others, and on the days when life doesn’t go to plan. What might putting down one of those rocks look like for you?
