- How real opportunities often come through relationships

- The quiet discipline behind doing what you love

- His appreciation for a strong, lasting relationship — and what makes it work

In today’s episode, I sit down with Walter Carter for a raw and expansive conversation on the inner journey—through struggle, healing, and self-discovery. We explore the highs and lows of life, and how the moments we often resist—loneliness, insecurity, emotional pain—can actually become portals for rebirth.

Walter opens up about reconnecting to self-love after the end of his marriage, and what it means to form a deeper relationship with yourself through compassion, breath, and awareness. We talk about befriending difficult emotions, dealing with shame and self-judgment, and learning to sit with what arises without needing to fix or flee it.

We also touch on themes like high-functioning depression, codependency, self-judgment, and the unseen belief systems that quietly shape how we experience life.

This episode is a reminder that transformation doesn’t come from fixing yourself—but from meeting yourself fully. With respect, honesty, and curiosity.

For this episode, I’m joined by Lauren White — a motivational speaker, life coach, and counsellor — whose work challenges the status quo of mental health and personal development.

We dive deep into topics that many people are afraid to touch, such as:

- The flaws in traditional mental health systems

- The real cure for addiction

- Enmeshment and the loss of self

- The illusion of chasing possessions, status, and societal approval

- Why so many people are living a lie — and how authenticity might be the most important key to self-discovery

Lauren and I explore the difficult truths behind why people fall into depression, why men and women are struggling in modern dating, and how easy it is to lose ourselves in the noise of society.

We talk about:

- The masks we wear in dating and life

- The pain behind extrinsic highs

- What it means to be resilient in the face of imperfection

- And why it’s not only ok to not be ok — it’s essential to growth

This episode is for anyone ready to challenge the norms, drop the performance, and begin living in a way that feels real. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, like you’re chasing something that never quite satisfies — this conversation will land deeply.
