Is It OK To Leave a Child To Follow Your Calling?

A father feels called to leave his child and follow a deeper purpose. In this Vedic Worldview episode, Thom explores what many might call abandonment through the story of Buddha and reframes it as an evolutionary phase transition in consciousness.

Along the way, Thom unpacks how relationships evolve, why some marriages end, and what children really absorb when parents try to "protect" their children from the effects of difficult decisions. Listen in to see how a wider context can transform the way we interpret separation from our loved ones.
