This new episode explores something both ancient and timely — the pyramid. Not the one you learned about in history class, but the one we’re all living in every day—the invisible structure of society, identity, and expectations.
We’ll explore where you stand on this symbolic pyramid:
Are you stuck at the base, surrounded by noise and "shoulds"?
Or are you rising, shedding layers, and creating your own path to the top?
By the end of this episode, you’ll learn:
1. How to recognize the signs that you’re living by someone else’s script.
2. Why most people stay at the base of the pyramid — and how to rise above.
3. Three powerful practices to move toward your true self and rise with intention.
Picture a pyramid: wide at the bottom, narrow at the top. At the base is the crowd — following inherited beliefs, people-pleasing, hustling for worthiness. Most people live here their whole lives, surrounded by cultural scripts.
Here’s the truth: the base is crowded because it’s easy to blend in there. You don’t have to think too deeply. You just keep going, doing what’s expected. You may look successful on the outside, but feel hollow on the inside.
Climbing the pyramid begins the moment you pause and ask:
“Is this really me?”
See the pyramid as the metaphor for conscious living. The ascent is not about fame, money, or outward power — it’s about inner alignment. As you ascend, fewer people walk with you — not because you’re “better,” but because fewer people are willing to face the discomfort of peeling back their layers.
The view from the middle of the pyramid is clearer. The air is lighter. And the energy? Sacred. But most of all, it feels like you. Not a version of you trying to fit in — just the real, raw, radiant you.
So here’s your invitation this week: Pause. Reflect. Reclaim.
Ask yourself, “Where am I living by a script that’s not mine?” And then take one bold, beautiful step in the direction of your truth.
