Are psychological and external barriers like family stress and past trauma gatekeeping our happiness?

In this raw and introspective episode, Harris opens up about the stress and challenges he faces at home, particularly with his family dynamics and his father's overbearing approach to his finances. Joined by Eldar, Toliy, and Mike, the conversation dives deep into the concept of "invisible gatekeepers"—internal and external barriers like stress, anxiety, and family expectations that hold us back from personal growth. The group discusses Harris's desire to break free from his father's control by enlisting Mike's help with his finances, exploring themes of autonomy, learning through mistakes, and the tension between short-term pain and long-term development. This episode is a candid look at the messy, human process of self-improvement, offering listeners a relatable perspective on navigating family conflict and personal accountability.
