Pod #708: Looking for “The lesson the university is trying to teach me” is keeping you stuck

May 14, 2026 by Gene Monterastelli

Recently, I was working with a client who said, “I just wish I understood what the university is trying to teach me.”

This is a sentiment I often hear from my clients.

Learning from our past mistakes is good and valuable. When we are able to see what went wrong and why it went wrong, we can act in new ways in the future.

Sometimes it feels even bigger than that. It isn't just learning from a past mistake, but learning a lesson the universe is trying to teach you that goes beyond what happened…it is about who you are at your core.

Every time I have learned one of those deeper lessons about life, the universe, and everything, my world gets better.

The problem is that sometimes there is no lesson to learn from the past. There is no grand meaning or guidance we need to remember in future. Sometimes things are hard just because they are hard.

If you are searching for a deeper meaning that does not exist, you will get stuck because your subconscious mind will obstruct your healing to make sure you learn the lesson.

This week in the podcast I share the round of tapping I do to make sure this doesn't happen. The beautiful part is you don't need to consciously know you are stuck in this pattern for the tapping to help. This is tapping you will want to bookmark and tap along to again in the future.
