In this raw and reflective episode of Private Memoirs of a Desperate Man, host Felix C. Arroyo takes us deep into the metaphor of keys—the dreams, passions, and potential we’re each born with. What happens when love turns into frustration? When compassion fades into bitterness? We often start handing our keys to others, believing they’re better equipped to unlock our purpose. But here’s the truth: your key doesn’t work in someone else’s lock.
Felix opens up about life transitions—his children entering adulthood, his own journey through uncertainty, and the many times he gave away pieces of himself trying to fit into someone else's vision. This is a reminder to reclaim your key. Whether it's love, friendship, or your calling, stop dimming your light to follow someone else's path.Grab a drink, find a quiet spot, and join Felix as he unpacks how we can all find that key buried deep in our pocket and finally start opening our own doors. This one is about ownership, identity, and letting go of who you thought you had to be.
