{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Words With Myself","slug":"wordswithmyself","podcastDescription":"

Words With Myself is a solo podcast of quiet confrontation and honest exploration. Each episode is a spoken journal, unscripted, unfiltered, and unafraid to sit in the silence between thoughts. Host Luke Rixson doesn’t offer advice. He reflects aloud. Through themes like identity, ego, fear, stillness, and purpose, he invites listeners to eavesdrop on the kind of conversations most people only have with themselves.

This is not self-help. It’s self-inquiry. A space to slow down, question deeply, and feel fully. Not to fix yourself, but to meet yourself.

This episode explores how we take everyday blessings for granted, why grounding yourself in gratitude matters, and how noticing your baseline can bring perspective and calm.

It also explains that wanting more or aiming for change doesn’t make you ungrateful—gratitude and ambition can coexist and both help attract abundance and presence.
