Ego vs. True Self: Building Your Empire Within

Host Mark A. Turnipseed returns from Los Angeles to sunny South Florida and reflects on how chasing ego-driven wants can lead to suffering while the true self leads to lasting peace. He uses personal stories—about diet, fitness, relationships, and AA meetings—to show how the ego and true self conflict and how to become the intermediary that chooses wisely.

The episode offers simple, practical guidance: observe your inner chatter, use the breath to become the witness, and practice small disciplined actions (like five minutes of meditation or cold plunges) to align body, mind, and spirit. The closing challenge is to pause, listen, and take one intentional step toward your true self to build an "empire of self."
