Intro to The Reckoning: 19 Episodes of Unfiltered Truth

Something's been gnawing at the edges of your peace lately, hasn't it? That feeling that you're not crazy, but maybe the world is. The sense that you've outgrown all the tools everyone else still clutches like lifelines. After months of reflection, including a cross-country journey spanning 12 states and 6,700 miles, I've returned with something different – not another self-help series, but a reckoning.

The forthcoming 19 episodes aren't designed to make you feel better. They're meant to make you feel realer. You've been taught that healing follows a neat, linear path and that self-awareness automatically makes life easier. What if these beliefs are just ego preservation wrapped in growth branding? Each episode serves as a scalpel rather than a comforting sponge, showing you the part of yourself that's been whispering the truth all along: you're not broken – the system is, the story is, the coping mechanisms are.

These episodes fall into three powerful arcs: The Self Series explores boundaries and the peace that comes after you stop trying to be palatable; The Society Series tears the mask off performative virtue and clout culture; and The Spiritual Series addresses living sacredly after doctrines crumble. There's also a bonus layer for those who feel they've outpaced everyone around them and wonder if there's anyone left to walk beside. Why now? Because healing fatigue is real. You're not lazy or ungrateful – you're exhausted from carrying everyone else's definition of progress. This isn't content created to change your mind; it's here to reflect what your soul already suspects. You're not crazy or broken – you're just done pretending, and that's where everything that matters finally begins. Are you ready for truth that doesn't come with a cushion?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hey, I'm back.
I know it's been a few months.
Rachel and I went across thecountry, hit 12 states, drove
about 6,700 miles, so that wasgood.
Definitely learned a lot moreabout each other.
She saw some of the places thatI've been stationed, so that
was good.
Met learned a lot more abouteach other.
She saw some of the places thatI've been stationed, so that
was good.
Met a couple of my closefriends from the military, so

(00:32):
overall it was good.
So, taking a few months off ofrecording these podcasts, I've
continued writing and I do havea little bit of a backlog, but
there's some things that I'vewritten that I probably won't
release just because I don'treally need to.
But I did have this idea for aepisode series that really gets

(00:55):
into the core of things.
So these next 19 episodes andthat doesn't include this
introductory episode.
There's going to be 19 episodesafter this, so this is the
introductory episode and let'sget into it.
This isn't a self-help series.
It's a reckoning why these 19episodes aren't meant to make

(01:18):
you feel better.
They're meant to make you seeyou didn't come here for comfort
.
You came because something'sbeen gnawing at the edges of
your peace, a sense that you'renot crazy, but the world might
be A sense that you've outgrownthe tools everyone else is still
using to cope.
You're not looking formotivation, you're looking for

(01:40):
clarity Welcome.
You've been taught that healingis a linear path, that there's
a right way to evolve, thatself-awareness makes life easier
, that love always means staying.
And what if all of that is justego preservation wrapped in the
branding of growth?

(02:00):
This series isn't going to holdyour hand.
It's going to show you the partof yourself that's been
whispering the truth all along.
You're not broken.
The system is, the story is,the coping mechanisms are.
Each episode in this series isa scalpel, not a sponge.

(02:21):
It's not going to make you feelbetter right away, but it will
make you feel realer, and that'sthe only place change ever
starts.
This isn't inspiration.
It's interruption, the kindthat reminds you who you were
before.
The world trained it out of you.
If you want to keep numbingwith polished quotes and

(02:45):
spiritual escapism, this seriesis not for you.
But if you're ready to stareinto the part of you that always
knew, the part that's done,waiting for permission, the part
that's ready to burn off whatno longer fits, longer fits,

(03:10):
then keep listening and don'tlook away.
This isn't therapy.
There's no padded room here, nosoft landings.
No one's asking you how thatmakes you feel.
This isn't advice.
I'm not here to fix you.
I'm not handing out steps,hacks or five-point frameworks.
You've already listened tothose.
You've already read those.
They didn't work.
This isn't gentle.
It's not supposed to be.

(03:32):
Gentleness has its place, butnot when you're tangled in your
own illusion.
Sometimes what you need is atruth that kicks the door in,
and this, this series, is notconcerned with whether you agree
.
Agreement is comfortable, butcomfort is a cage with velvet
lining.
You don't have to agree, youjust have to listen, for what

(03:55):
resonates in your bones when theego shuts up long enough to
hear it.
What this series is.
This series is a map, but notthe kind they sell at gas
stations.
This is the kind drawn in blood, mistakes and nights you didn't
think you'd make it through.
For the ones who've alreadyleft the shore and know damn

(04:18):
well, there's no rowing back.
It's a dismantling, not of you,of the stories you've been sold
, of the illusions that gotrepackaged as wisdom and slapped
with a healing label.
It's permission, not to becomesomething, but to stop
performing becoming, to finallydrop the act and just breathe

(04:43):
like a human again.
And most of all, it's aflashlight into the part of you
that already knows Not newinsight, old truth, the kind you
buried Because it would havecost you too much to name it
back then.
So why is it 19 episodes andwhat do they cover?

(05:06):
These episodes fall into threearcs, plus a bonus series for
the ones who've burned throughevery book and still feel like
the only one awake in a sleepingworld.
First, the self series.
This is about insight,boundaries and the peace that
only comes after you stop tryingto be palatable.
Then the society series, wherewe tear the mask off

(05:30):
performative virtue, clout,culture and all the ways people
pretend to be moral whilefeeding their ego the whole time
.
The ways people pretend to bemoral while feeding their ego
the whole time.
Next, the spiritual series.
Not the kind you can buy at aretreat.
This one's about livingsacredly after the collapse,
after the doctrine crumbles,after you stop waiting for a

(05:52):
sign and become one.
And finally, the bonus layerFor the ones who are already
outpacing the people around themand aren't sure if there's
anyone left to walk beside.
There is, we are just scattered.
This series is how we find eachother.

(06:12):
So why do these episodes now?
Because the dopamine crash iscoming.
Do these episodes now?
Because the dopamine crash iscoming, the one after the reels
and the mantras?
And the hundredth podcastepisode telling you to just love
yourself, because healingfatigue is real.
You're not lazy, you're notungrateful, you're just
exhausted from carrying everyoneelse's definition of progress.

(06:35):
Because influence culture isfailing.
The curtain's been pulled backand the wizard?
He's got a ring light and alink in bio.
And, most of all, because thoseof us who see are starting to
speak, not to preach, not tosell, but to light, signal fires
so the others can find theirway through the fog.

(06:55):
This series isn't here tochange your mind.
It's here to reflect what yoursoul already suspects You're not
crazy, you're not broken,you're just done pretending and
that that is where everythingthat matters finally begins.
This isn't content, this is areckoning 19 episodes, no fluff,

(07:21):
just the truth you've beensensing all along, but couldn't
say out loud Until now.
Get ready, thank you.
