And just in case nobody told you in a while: I love you, I believe in you, and I cannot wait to see that rocking chair underneath it all, because it's just as beautiful today as it was the day that furniture maker made it, and you just gotta strip that crap off there, because you're beautiful, baby, just the way you are.
What can a forgotten rocking chair teach us about life? In this episode of The H.E.L.P Show, Derek Wallman takes a different approach by sharing a story that profoundly influenced his recovery journey. This isn't just any story—it's one that helped Derek see the value of gratitude and self-acceptance in his own life.
He discovered this old rocking chair in a building he bought, and it turned into a powerful metaphor for his struggles and growth over the past nine years. Derek talks about how essential it is to set boundaries and take care of oneself while chasing dreams and helping others. He also opens up about the incredible response he's received from listeners and what lies ahead for the podcast.
Central to this episode is the idea of self-love, not in a religious sense, but as a higher power that helps you let go of negative self-views. Derek's reflections remind us that even the simplest objects can hold deep lessons if we take the time to look.
