ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Somewhere along the way, many of us stopped feeling like life was a mission or that it had stakes.
Not because we stopped caring — but because we learned how to function without that deeper sense of meaning we once had as kids.

Not a political story. Not a self-help formula.
Just an honest look at what happens when you lose access to the part of you that always knew life mattered.

For the first episode, I share some of my personal story, the experiences that brought me here, and the questions and ideas I’ll explore in future episodes. This is a space for reflection, curiosity, and honest conversation about life and purpose.
When I reconnected with a strong sense of purpose in my life, I thought the hardest part was behind me. But I soon realized that rediscovering something meaningful doesn’t automatically change the psychological structures you’ve built over time.
In this episode, I reflect on how that sense of purpo…
