What would happen if you let go of every identity you’ve ever clung to?

In this deep and honest episode, Craig sits down with longtime friend Steven Roccazzella to explore life after letting go—of jobs, roles, identities, and old versions of self. They talk about what it means to live with no safety net, to reinvent who you are, and to surrender to what’s next… even when you don’t know what that is.

🎧 Topics include:

• Identity, work, and why it’s so hard to let go
• Fatherhood and the illusion of control
• Safety, fear, and being okay in the unknown
• Attachment, ego death, and spiritual evolution
• Why healing work can become its own trap

If you’ve ever felt like the old version of you just doesn’t fit anymore—this is your permission to let go.
