Welcome to Must I Evolve?, a lecture series on spiritual growth and philosophy presented in conjunction with No Expectations the Podcast. 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. #personalgrowthjourney #personaldevelopment #spirituality #budhhainspired #sayingno #selfcompassion #personalgrowthjourney #personalgrowthdevelopment
