The Choice To Stay Stuck

Why do we stay stuck in situations we know aren’t working? In this powerful episode of Sufferless with A Part-Time Monk, Tim Tamashiro explores the hidden patterns that keep us feeling trapped—and reveals the surprising truth: what you’re not changing, you may still be choosing.

You’ll learn how the reactive Back Brain resists change to protect you, and how the calm, clear Front Brain helps you reclaim your power. With insights from neuroscience and everyday life, Tim guides you through The Sufferless Shift: from default to deliberate, from autopilot to awareness.

This episode also features the inspiring story of TikToker Christi Newrutzen, whose viral series “How Long Did It Actually Take Me?” shows how small actions can free us from the weight of avoidance.

If you're tired of feeling stuck and ready to make a meaningful move—even a small one—this episode will help you break the cycle and take your next step with clarity.
