A stronghold: that thing that has you. The battle as silent as carbon monoxide and as strong as a bomb. It kills you every day. It chips away at your self-worth. The abusive lover that promises you protection from the world, but takes the world away from you. Too seductive to leave. Too violent to stay.Telling someone exposes it and weakens its power. But only you can defeat it. It’s an inside job. This episode suggests that the battle of breaking a stronghold is not won by your might, but by your moment.You overcome a stronghold, moment by moment.Referenced books:“Tiny Habits” by B.J.
