Words With Myself With Luke Rixson

You have made contracts in your life that you probably don’t even remember.

Not the kind you sign on paper, but the promises you made to yourself when you were younger. The things you swore you would become. The people you said you would always be there for. The dreams, ambitions, fears, and protections that once made sense, but might now be quietly ruling your life.

In this episode, I talk about the soul contracts we carry without realising it. The childhood vows, the old relationships, the pursuit of money, the need to never be hurt again, and the versions of ourselves we’re still trying to honour even though we’ve completely outgrown them.

Some contracts deserve renewing. Others need to be ended with intention.

This is about noticing what no longer serves you, letting it go, and making space for commitments that actually align with who you are now.

We often ask for more.

More money. More time. More energy. More space. More freedom.

But before asking for more, maybe we have to look at what we’re already doing with what we have.

This episode explores the uncomfortable gap between desire and action. The way we say we want a different life, while spending our time, money, energy, and attention in ways that keep us exactly where we are.

It isn’t about guilt. It isn’t about never resting, enjoying yourself, or wanting better.

It’s about honesty.

If you want more, are you actually using what you already have? Are your choices aligned with the life you say you want? Or are you waiting for more resources before you start becoming the person who would know what to do with them?

Maybe the answer isn’t more.

Maybe the answer is using what’s already in your hands.

this whole idea that “communication is key” is kind of misunderstood

because most people think it just means “say how you feel”

but that’s not really it

you can talk all day and still not be honest

still not be real

because the real problem isn’t communication it’s that we’re not being ourselves when we communicate

we’re filtering adjusting trying to be liked

so instead of connection you get distance

and the worst part is you don’t even realise you’re doing it

what happens when you stop hiding?

This one’s about the difference between being alive and actually living. How you can follow the path, do everything right, build a life that looks fine from the outside and still feel like something is missing. Like your life isn’t really yours.

To some degree, everything is in relationship.

But when it comes to personal relationships, what we are really talking about is closeness. Proximity. How much space exists between you and somebody else, and how much of that space is being created by what you are unwilling to reveal.

In this episode I talk about the distance we create in relationships, how that distance is built through fear, shame, self-judgment, and the need to control how other people see us.

I get into openness, honesty, vulnerability, self-acceptance, and why so many relationships feel close on the surface but still aren’t truly intimate.

Because if you cannot be fully yourself with somebody, if you cannot say what you feel, think, or fear, then the relationship is always going to be limited by that.

This is really about learning to accept yourself enough to be seen, and understanding that real relationship can only exist where there is openness.
