In early October, I found myself withdrawing from my own voice—not because I had nothing to say, but because I was drowning in the noise of social media, external expectations, and the pressure to perform rather than speak truth. This episode captures the moment I realized my creative energy had been hijacked. It explores what happens when we start shaping our message to be liked instead of allowing it to be true.

I talk about the existential flatness that comes when we chase approval, what I learned while reading The Fountainhead, and why compromising your voice—even slightly—kills the desire to speak at all.

If you’ve ever lost your creative spark or questioned your purpose, this episode is the bridge between silence and rebirth. It’s the moment I recognized that my voice doesn’t disappear when I stop speaking externally—it disappears when I stop speaking from within.
