Words With Myself With Luke Rixson

How much is actually enough to make you happy?

In this episode, we explore the hidden cost of excess, the importance of defining what you truly want, and why more money, freedom, possessions, or success doesn’t always mean a better life. From manifestation and goal setting to ambition, minimalism, happiness, and personal growth, this episode looks at how being specific about your desires can help you avoid excess and create a life that genuinely fulfils you.

You think you’re a good person. You probably also think your mistakes are understandable and other people’s mistakes reveal who they really are. This episode explores the hypocrisy, self-righteousness and double standards we hide behind, and why we’re all far less consistent than we like to believe.

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.
