About this listen

In this episode, I dive deep into a struggle I’ve faced for years—sleep, self-sabotage, and the hidden effects of existential curiosity. I explore how my mind resists rest, not just because of poor habits, but because of something deeper: unfinished tasks, subconscious fears, and the need for control.

I reflect on how my younger self used to be consumed by the fear of non-existence, how I’ve made peace with it over time, and why a subtle remnant of that fear still shows up in unexpected ways—like my inability to maintain a consistent sleep schedule.

Beyond the philosophy, I break down why simply forcing myself into a routine hasn’t worked, and what I’ve realized instead.

If you’ve ever found yourself self-sabotaging, procrastinating, or feeling stuck in cycles that seem impossible to break, this episode might give you something to think about.
