The Collector's Compass #35: The Power Of Being Seen, Heard, Known, & Loved With Tim Ross [Live]

In this episode of The Collector’s Compass, Alyx sits down with Tim Ross—host of ‪@TheBasementWithTimRoss‬ and Wide Open—for a full-circle conversation about growth, healing, and what happens after you choose to go first. Alyx first appeared on Wide Open in April, just weeks after launching Collectors MD. At the time, the idea was new, the language was still forming, and the response was immediate. Since then, Collectors MD has grown exponentially—expanding from content into community, from conversation into infrastructure—with partnerships, weekly peer support, national engagement, and growing media attention. This episode revisits that original moment and explores what it means to steward growth responsibly once people begin showing up in large numbers. At the center of the conversation is a theme that has shaped both Alyx’s work and Tim’s ministry: the power of being fully seen, fully heard, fully known, and fully loved—even when you’re not agreed with. Together, they unpack why healing so often begins not with answers, but with safety. Why vulnerability creates permission. And why so many people stay stuck not because they lack discipline, but because they’ve never felt allowed to tell the full truth. The discussion also weaves in the ideas behind Tim’s upcoming book, The Missing Peace, exploring the difference between temporary relief and real peace. Alyx and Tim talk candidly about dopamine, distraction, emotional regulation, and the quiet ways people try to soothe pain—through spending, collecting, scrolling, or staying constantly stimulated—without ever slowing down enough to heal. From there, the episode widens to recovery, faith, and accountability without judgment. The two discuss how to hold space for people without moralizing, how to name risk without becoming polarizing, and why love that isn’t performance-based is often the missing ingredient in healing. The conversation stays rooted in lived experience, not diagnosis—offering language for struggles people feel but rarely articulate. The episode closes with reflection and invitation: what it looks like to take one honest step toward healing, how community changes the trajectory of recovery, and why reducing harm in your own life matters—even when the world feels loud, unstable, and unresolved. Topics covered include: –What happens after you “go first” –Being seen, heard, known, and loved as a foundation for healing –Growth, responsibility, and stewarding community –Dopamine, distraction, and emotional regulation –Compulsion versus intention in modern collecting and spending –Faith, recovery, and holding space without judgment –Why healing is stabilizing, not selfish If you’ve ever felt unseen, exhausted by coping, or unsure how to keep healing once momentum builds, this episode offers perspective, grounding, and permission to slow down—without shame. The goal isn’t to have all the answers. It’s to create space where people don’t have to hide anymore. Subscribe, share, and join the ongoing conversation about what healthier participation, honest community, and real accountability can look like—in the hobby and beyond.
