In this episode, Todd unpacks a simple farm-inspired analogy with a surprisingly powerful message: not all emotional weight is created equal. Some feelings scatter on their own like birdseed. Others take a little effort, like moving a bale of hay. And some—those heavy, life-shaping burdens—sit in our lives like a boulder that won’t budge without real help and intention.

Through relatable examples and honest reflection, Todd explores how we can recognize the differences between these emotional loads, respond to each one wisely, and stop carrying what no longer needs to be on our shoulders. If you’ve been feeling weighed down or unsure how to move forward, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and a framework you can use today to lighten your emotional backpack.

Take a moment, take a breath, and take a look at what you’re carrying. You might realize it’s time to finally set something down.

Grab your beverage! It's time, for Todd Talk!
