How to Tell When Ego Is Running Your Life (and What to Do Instead)

You’re always sitting in some seat. The ego. The mind. The past. The performance.

But beneath it all, there’s a deeper seat…
The seat of consciousness. The soul. The one who sees.

In this deeply reflective episode, I explore the original meaning of asana from yoga philosophy, not as a posture, but as a seat of awareness, and how it points to the state of mind we inhabit in daily life.

You’ll be guided through the inner shift from ego to human to soul, and learn why discomfort isn’t something to escape… but something to stay with.

We explore:

  • What it really means to “take your seat”

  • How ego uses discomfort to keep you looping

  • Why your soul never bypasses your humanness

  • The truth about transcendence, manipulation, and healing

  • A guided seat-shifting practice to return to presence

If you’ve been overthinking, looping in self-doubt, or mistaking discomfort for misalignment, this is a reflection to help you come home to your body, your breath, and your truth.

Take your seat. Follow the thread. Return to what’s always been here.
