Words With Myself
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.

Sunday Sep 28, 2025
Do you believe that magic is real? Do you believe that God is real? Do you believe that numerology is real? Whether you believe all of those things or none of those things, what you decide your belief is, is what will dictate what you perceive.Target fixation is a term used to describe when you focus on a certain point and it draws you closer towards it. If you focus on the negative, you will perceive the negative; if you focus on the positive, you will perceive the positive. Your beliefs control and impact your perception, creating momentum that compounds over time.Changing your perception starts by eliminating negative input, practicing radical honesty, and stepping away from self-deception. By shifting your focus and being open to evidence, you can transform your life and start seeing the signs that lead you toward growth, meaning, and connection.
