In this episode of Decide to Heal, I sit down with my friend and transformational teacher, Rudi Riekstins, a man whose presence alone reminds you of your worth. We go deep into what it really means to remember who you are, not through a self-help book or a high-ticket coach, but in the stillness of your own presence. Rudi opens up about hitting rock bottom after achieving everything the world says should make you happy. We talk about chasing validation, breaking cycles, and how true power lies not in what we own, but in what we align with. This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone feeling empty despite “having it all.” If you’ve been trying to fill the void with things, people, or praise, this is the moment you’ll want to sit with. It’s honest. It’s freeing. It’s what healing actually looks like.
