Ep 38: Power - And The Invisible Cage of Routines and Systems
Podcast: Newvision Oldways
Host: Tony Marinaccio //
Are you truly living — or are you simply operating?
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Newvision Oldways Podcast, host Tony Marinaccio explores the often invisible power that routines and systems hold over our lives. We’re talking about the subtle structures that shape not only our days but our very identities — and how these familiar rhythms, while comforting, can slowly turn into silent cages.
From morning scrolls to 9-to-5 grind cycles, from societal frameworks to cultural expectations — this episode takes a magnifying glass to the routines we rarely question, yet follow religiously. Drawing on insights from Ryan Holiday, Erich Fromm, and Reinhard Stanjek, Tony guides us on a journey of self-reflection and awakening.
🔑 What you’ll discover in this episode:
- How seemingly harmless routines can rob us of our power and sense of self
- Why systems built long ago may no longer fit the person you've become
- The fine line between comfort and control — and how to reclaim your rhythm
- Personal stories of resilience, rediscovery, and how to rewrite your life blueprint
- How slowing down, asking “why,” and creating intentional rituals can spark freedom
Whether you’re stuck in autopilot or simply curious about how to break free from inherited systems, this episode is a wake-up call to redesign your reality — and choose you.

Are your routines serving your growth — or stunting your soul?
