I've been away for a while… in the process of my own evolution.

There’s a rhythm to growth we don’t always choose—Mine asked for silence, stillness, a bit of deconstruction, reconnection with my Zen beginnings, and trust in what I couldn’t yet name.

I’m back, sort of. Not with polished answers, but questions and nudges.

🎙️ Must I Evolve?, my new podcast, is live—Short, mindful episodes exploring the real work of transformation. Similar to my novels Invisible Sun and Waiting Impatiently, these TED-style micro-learning episodes are wrapped in Zen insights. No preaching. Just process and vulnerability.

▶️ The first 6 episodes are up. Link in bio & below.

Let’s evolve.

In this episode, Andrew explores the transformative power of saying "no" as a spiritual practice. Contrary to always saying "yes" to life, learning to set boundaries is essential for living authentically and avoiding burnout. Drawing from personal experiences, Zen teachings, and insights from Tibetan Buddhist Chögyam Trungpa, we examine the concept of "idiot compassion" and how true self-care often requires tough love — even toward ourselves.

Discover how saying "no" can affirm your values, protect your energy, and deepen your spiritual journey. Learn why declining with intention can be an act of courage, wisdom, and liberation. Tune in to embrace the art of “no” and uncover the freedom it brings to your life.

Intellect is knowing a tomato is a fruit. 🍅 Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad. 🥗

This saying reminds me of the importance of self-awareness in navigating change. Knowing facts and having knowledge (intellect) is valuable, but wisdom is about understanding context and using that knowledge effectively.

We may know what needs to change in our lives, but wisdom helps us understand how to approach it. Just because we can make a change doesn’t mean it’s the right time or place. Self-awareness lets us see where we fit in the bigger picture, making our choices more intentional.

Embrace knowledge and wisdom in your journey, and remember that change is most impactful when applied thoughtfully.
