You’ve reparented.

You understand your childhood.

You’ve done the work.

So why do you still sabotage, shut down, rebel, or doubt yourself at the moments that matter most?

In this episode, we name the part most healing conversations skip: the inner teenager.

This is the layer where identity formed under pressure - where expression met consequence, truth met misunderstanding, and dignity learned to protect itself. And it’s why inner child work can soothe... yet still plateau.

In this conversation, we explore:

• the difference between inner child wounds and inner teenager wounds
• why soothing doesn’t resolve dignity injuries
• how defiance, procrastination, and self-doubt are intelligent protections
• why affirmations and reprogramming often bounce off
• what healing actually requires when autonomy was compromised
• and how self-trust returns when dignity is restored

This episode isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about meeting the part of you that learned what it costs to be real.

There comes a moment in growth where your usual tools stop working.

Regulation feels flat. Clarity loosens. Self-doubt returns - quietly.

And the immediate assumption is:

Something must be wrong with me.

In this episode, I want to name something carefully: Sometimes the nervous system isn’t dysregulated. It’s between orientations.

This is a conversation about the phase no one prepares you for - the space after clarity, before coherence reforms.

We explore:

• the difference between dysregulation and existential disorientation
• why regulation tools can feel insufficient during transitions
• the Stoic emphasis on endurance - and where it can fall short
• why philosophy is born from loss of certainty, not clarity
• how forcing calm too early stabilizes identities that are meant to dissolve
• what it actually feels like to be between selves
• and how to stay present without bypassing what’s reorganizing

This episode isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about staying with yourself when the old map no longer fits.

If you’re in a phase where you’re questioning things again - this conversation is here to walk with you through it.

Most people don’t want another habit.

They don’t want another routine.

They don’t want to optimize themselves anymore.

They want their life to make sense again.

In this episode, I talk about the one book I return to when someone is serious about change - not surface-level change, but the kind that reorganizes how you live, choose, and relate to yourself.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why most self-help stops working at a certain stage of life
• The difference between pleasure, power, and meaning
• How meaning regulates the nervous system under pressure
• Why burnout and anxiety are often signals of misalignment, not failure
• What this book actually does to people - quieter, clearer, more self-respecting
• And how to move forward gently once meaning is restored

If you’ve been feeling tired of fixing yourself...

If motivation keeps slipping away...

If you’re craving clarity instead of hype...

This episode is for you.
