In this raw, electric, and soul-sparking episode of Empire Self, Mark Turnipseed takes us on a journey beyond ego into the divine truth that lives within each of us. He challenges the constructs of identity — the stories, masks, careers, and personas we build around the “I” — and invites listeners to burn them down to uncover the vast, eternal self beneath.
Mark uses vivid metaphor, unfiltered truth, and powerful storytelling to explore how we’re all seeds waiting to break free from our husks. Whether you’ve built your life around success, sexuality, family expectations, or trauma, this episode dares you to question it all — and liberate your deepest, most divine essence.
This is for the ones ready to crack open, transmute pain into power, and finally break on through to the other side.
