Words With Myself
Man vs Woman: The Battle Within
Picture a dinner table where voices rise and then retreat into separate rooms—one partner joins friends to complain, the other seeks kinship in a different circle—and the argument doesn't end, it multiplies. In this episode, we begin not with policy or pronouncements but with that private scene, the quiet echo of a dinner argument refracted back into the self. Rather than debate what masculinity or femininity should be in the world, the narrator walks us inward, inviting us to meet two roommates inside each of us: a masculine and a feminine energy. With a storyteller's patience, he traces how these two parts either conspire or collide, how one can grow loud and exile the other, and how that internal conversation writes the script for our outer relationships. Through vivid examples—one partner retreating to logic and problem-solving while the other seeks to be heard and held—you'll see how imbalance turns life robotic or chaotic. But this episode refuses tidy formulas. Balance is not a percentage to be measured; it’s a relationship to be tended. We hear how misalignment breeds the very drama we blame on ‘the other side,’ and how complementary dysfunctions can masquerade as stability. The heart of the episode is a simple, transformative invitation: listen to the parts of you that disagree. Learn to let the feminine be felt and the masculine be trusted. The narrator shows that healing a relationship often begins by harmonizing the small domestic dramas inside your own psyche, then letting those inner changes ripple outward. By the end you’ll be left with an image that stays with you—a pair of dancers learning each other’s steps inside your chest—and a practical, gentle challenge: notice the conflict, make space for the opposite, and choose to grow toward the center rather than away. This episode is a quiet map for anyone tired of combat, ready instead for a duet.

Words With Myself
The Source Of True Strength
Step into a conversation that quietly pulls the rug out from under everything you think you know about strength. In this episode of Words With Myself, the host sits with a simple but radical idea: strength is not measured in muscle or menace, but in the steady courage of the gentle. Through vivid contrasts and intimate reflections, the episode opens with the image of the loud, imposing figure—someone who looks strong until you see the fear that fuels that posture. What follows is a story of reversals: the bully who bristles to hide insecurity, the person who seeks applause for toughness, and the surprising hero—the one who answers aggression with care. You’ll meet the quiet scenes where real strength reveals itself: a hand extended to someone in pain, a calm voice offered to a frightened stranger, a refusal to escalate when everything in you wants to retaliate. These moments are painted not as softness that invites harm, but as deliberate acts of bravery that cost something real. As the narrative unfolds, the episode explores the paradox that being kind often feels like weakness—yet it demands more courage than posturing ever will. It distinguishes between being “nice” to avoid discomfort and being “good” at great personal cost: the sacrifice, the risk, the lonely choices that build an inner backbone. Boundaries are honored; softness is chosen, not surrendered. Listeners are invited into a moral reckoning: to choose the difficult path of integrity over the easy comforts of approval, to accept that strength is a practiced discipline forged by hardship, not a state granted by appearance. The host offers tough love—reminding us that real strength requires risk, that comfort breeds complacency, and that an easy life rarely produces courage. The episode closes like a quiet dare: will you take the road that asks more of you? It leaves you with the image of strength as a commitment—an ongoing choice to be good, honest, and courageous when it matters most. Tune in and let this gentle but insistent narrative reshape how you see power, kindness, and what it truly means to be strong.

Words With Myself
When Momentum Makes or Breaks You
Imagine waking one morning and realizing you are not where you thought you’d be. That small misstep — a lost job, a harsh word, an unexpected grief — nudges a scale that keeps tipping. In this episode, we follow a life tilted by momentum: how one event becomes a cascade, how decisions made from pain deepen the fall, and how that same force can lift you back, stronger than before. Through vivid examples — the unemployed person who loses confidence, the relationship that frays as sorrow grows, the holiday indulgences that drown a year’s progress — the story reveals the invisible physics of our days. Momentum doesn’t shout; it creeps. You don’t notice it until you’re pulled so far that the climb feels impossible. And yet those who recover do so not by magic, but by small, deliberate choices that reverse the direction. We meet the protagonist of the piece: someone who learns that stability isn’t a perfect life but a resilient response. Stability is adaptability — the ability to get up quickly, to course-correct before the drop becomes a chasm. Using the image of an upside-down pyramid, the episode traces how tiny habits at the base — sleep, food, a workout — stack into confidence, energy, and the courage to take chances again. The narrative turns to the intimate moments when people hit rock bottom and, paradoxically, begin to rebuild. It’s not about rushing grief or faking courage; it’s about recognizing triggers, avoiding self-sabotage, and choosing the habits that set the upward spiral in motion. A candid holiday-and-birthday anecdote shows how harmless exceptions compound into months of delay — until someone decides to start tiny, again. By the end, the episode offers more than insight: it hands you a map. Identify the small actions that create upward momentum for you, protect them during hard times, and learn to reset quickly when you slip. The story closes on a hopeful note — momentum is always moving; the question is which way will you nudge it?

Drawn to Your Beliefs: How Perception Shapes Reality
Do you believe that magic is real? Do you believe that God is real? Do you believe that numerology is real? Whether you believe all of those things or none of those things, what you decide your belief is, is what will dictate what you perceive.Target fixation is a term used to describe when you focus on a certain point and it draws you closer towards it. If you focus on the negative, you will perceive the negative; if you focus on the positive, you will perceive the positive. Your beliefs control and impact your perception, creating momentum that compounds over time.Changing your perception starts by eliminating negative input, practicing radical honesty, and stepping away from self-deception. By shifting your focus and being open to evidence, you can transform your life and start seeing the signs that lead you toward growth, meaning, and connection.
