Words With Myself With Luke Rixson

What if becoming a new version of yourself meant questioning everything you think you know about who you are?

In this episode, we start with something as simple as a tomato and use it to explore identity, reinvention, and the habits we keep carrying forward without thinking. From trying things you once avoided to noticing where fear still makes your decisions, this is about getting curious about who you might be now, not who you used to be.

We also get into the less glamorous side of transformation: old patterns, ego, grief, resistance, and the tiny everyday choices that actually shape your life.

A conversation about letting go, experimenting more, and giving yourself permission to meet a version of you that might surprise you.

Imagine being plucked from your life and dropped on a remote island: no past roles, no familiar routines, only the raw question of who you become next. This episode opens with that startling thought experiment and follows it into the quiet, relentless truth most of us avoid, we are not one fixed person but a series of possible selves, each waiting for the right environment to reveal them.

Fear doesn't always look like fear.

Sometimes it looks like excuses, insecurity, overthinking or an identity you've built to protect yourself.

In this episode, I talk about how fear and ego shape who you believe you are, why we avoid the things that would expose us, and how to break out of the identity that's keeping you stuck.

At some point, you have to stop asking who you think you are and start proving who you could become.

Perspective has a strange way of becoming evidence of itself.

If you expect the world to disappoint you, you will notice every reason it has. If you believe you are not enough, you can change your job, your friends, your habits, your surroundings — and still somehow find yourself living inside the same story.

In this episode, I talk about the relationship between perspective, ego, language and identity, and why real change often asks for something deeper than simply doing different things.

I get into the idea that the words we use are not as innocent as we think, that our predictions can begin to feel like spells, and that belief sometimes has to come before evidence. Not in the sense of pretending everything is sunshine and roses, but in becoming aware of the lens through which we are already interpreting reality.

I also talk about self-worth, old identities, inner healing and integration — particularly the temptation to treat the old version of yourself as something that needs to be killed off, detached from or overcome. Maybe those parts of you do not need more rejection. Maybe they need to finally be understood.

Because changing your life externally is one thing. Changing the perspective you are living from is something else entirely.

This is an episode about changing your perspective, breaking old thought patterns, ego and identity, manifestation, the power of language, spiritual growth, self-worth and integrating the parts of yourself you thought you had to leave behind.

After a short break, we return. 

Learning is more than just obtaining information, as is healing.

What matters is what we do with the information we obtain.
