Paths Back to You
If you’re sharp enough to see the patterns—and stubborn enough to stay stuck in them—you’re in the right place. Paths Back to You is a podcast about the paradox of being human: smart and self-sabotaging, wise and wildly lost. Together, we'll untangle messy ideas, reclaim the magic in nuance, and find practical ways to navigate the storm without losing ourselves. This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about finding the paths that feels like coming home.
