Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear: Letting Go of the Past to Move Forward

Is your past still driving your present? In this powerful solo episode of The Never Peak Project, Ranger Kielak—life coach and cross-country walker—dives deep into the stories we think we've left behind, but still live just beneath the surface.

Inspired by the phrase "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear," Ranger shares emotional insights from his 2,642-mile Walk Across America—specifically the moments in Arizona that reopened old wounds about a dream left behind: becoming a veterinarian. But this episode isn’t about dwelling—it's about reclaiming your narrative.

🎙️ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why healing isn’t linear, and time alone doesn’t equal closure
• How to spot the difference between background pain and foreground behavior
• Why your past stories need a seat—but not the steering wheel
• How movement, coaching, and reflection help release limiting beliefs
• Tools to rewrite your story and move forward with clarity and grace

Whether you're chasing a new dream or quietly haunted by one that didn’t work out, this episode will help you recognize what’s still in your rearview mirror—and how to finally let it go.
