There's a particular kind of grief in outgrowing people who once matched your pace — and almost no one talks about it. On The Quiet Warrior Podcast, host Serena Low and Steve sit with that discomfort directly.

Introducing Tenkaré

Steve shares the concept of compassionate detachment, which he calls Tenkaré — a way to keep showing up for people fully without absorbing pain that was never his to carry. The conversation traces his own path from a family flower business to a mental-health awakening that changed everything, and gets into why perfectionism never has a finish line, because there was never actually a race.

Outgrowing someone you love doesn't make you disloyal. It means you grew — and that grief is allowed to exist without being fixed.

Listen to the full episode for more on introversion, conditioning, and what it means to already be enough. If it resonates, Steve's happy to continue the conversation — schedule a call.
