Atonement Soup, A Funny Recipe for Letting Go
In this episode of Miles to Zen, Shannon stirs up a story that’s equal parts humor, nostalgia, and life lesson.
It starts with a pot of stubborn split peas and ends with a reminder about guilt, clutter, and the power of letting go.
“Atonement Soup” isn’t just about soup, it’s a metaphor for life’s frustrations and the importance of self-forgiveness. Its also about clearing out emotional and physical clutter, and learning when to stop salvaging what’s no longer serving us (even if it’s packed with fiber).
If you’ve ever tried to make something work long past its expiry date, whether that’s a reviving weeks old veggies in your fridge, to a project, or a memory, you’ll find comfort (and a smile) in this story.
