Stop Drifting—The 5 W’s That Realign Your Life
Are you really living... or just reacting?
In this episode, I’m handing you a tool for deep, no-BS introspection: the 5 W’s of Radical Self Awareness.
This isn’t some surface-level journaling prompt. This is a mirror. A spotlight. A call-out and a call-forward—all in one.
You'll explore:
Who is influencing your thoughts, energy, and identity
What you’re truly committed to (and what you say you're committed to)
When you tend to abandon yourself
Where your environments are either draining or fueling you
Why you haven’t leapt yet—even though you know it’s time
This episode was sparked by an email from a listener, Benjamin Foley. We connected over our shared approach to fear—leaning into it. Not running from it. Benjamin’s article, “Advice On Anxiety No One Tells You”, lit a fire under me, and now I’m passing that torch to you.
You don’t need another checklist. You need a pattern interrupt.
You need to sit with these questions like your life depends on it—because in a way, it does.
Radical self awareness is the first step to radical self leadership. And the only person who can give you that… is you.
