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.

    Me? Me who?

    Imagine being plucked from your life and dropped on a remote island: no past roles, no familiar routines, only the raw question of who you become next. This episode opens with that startling thought experiment and follows it into the quiet, relentless truth most of us avoid, we are not one fixed person but a series of possible selves, each waiting for the right environment to reveal them.

    Fear, Ego & the Identity Keeping You Stuck

    Fear doesn't always look like fear. Sometimes it looks like excuses, insecurity, overthinking or an identity you've built to protect yourself. In this episode, I talk about how fear and ego shape who you believe you are, why we avoid the things that would expose us, and how to break out of the identity that's keeping you stuck. At some point, you have to stop asking who you think you are and start proving who you could become.

    Anamorphosis

    Perspective has a strange way of becoming evidence of itself. If you expect the world to disappoint you, you will notice every reason it has. If you believe you are not enough, you can change your job, your friends, your habits, your surroundings — and still somehow find yourself living inside the same story. In this episode, I talk about the relationship between perspective, ego, language and identity, and why real change often asks for something deeper than simply doing different things. I get into the idea that the words we use are not as innocent as we think, that our predictions can begin to feel like spells, and that belief sometimes has to come before evidence. Not in the sense of pretending everything is sunshine and roses, but in becoming aware of the lens through which we are already interpreting reality. I also talk about self-worth, old identities, inner healing and integration — particularly the temptation to treat the old version of yourself as something that needs to be killed off, detached from or overcome. Maybe those parts of you do not need more rejection. Maybe they need to finally be understood. Because changing your life externally is one thing. Changing the perspective you are living from is something else entirely. This is an episode about changing your perspective, breaking old thought patterns, ego and identity, manifestation, the power of language, spiritual growth, self-worth and integrating the parts of yourself you thought you had to leave behind.

    You learned, have you implemented?

    After a short break, we return.  Learning is more than just obtaining information, as is healing. What matters is what we do with the information we obtain.

    Restoration of Community

    I talk a lot about personal responsibility, accountability, doing the work, taking your power back. All of it. But I also think it’s important to understand the world you’re doing that work inside of. Because you don’t exist in isolation. You exist inside a society, inside a system, inside laws, expectations, habits, incentives, pressures, and all these things that are constantly shaping you. And while that can’t become an excuse, it does need to be understood. This episode is about that. It’s about the way modern life keeps us distracted, dependent, isolated, comfortable, and cut off from each other. It’s about alcohol, work, land, ownership, community, nature, freedom, and the fact that so much of what we think is normal has just been slowly taught to us. And I don’t want this to just be another episode pointing at the problem. Because I think we have to build something else. Something real. Something rooted in community, autonomy, self-sufficiency, connection, and actual life. It has to start somewhere. And maybe it starts with us. Why not here? Why not now? Why not us?

    Confessions of a Master Manipulator

    What if being a “master manipulator” isn’t about being cruel, but about trying to keep everyone okay so you can finally feel safe? In this episode, I talk about people pleasing, control, codependency, childhood trauma, emotional exhaustion, boundaries, and the mask we wear when we’ve spent our lives managing other people’s emotions. If you grew up around chaos, instability, or emotional outbursts, you may have learned to fix, appease, perform, and hold everything together. But what once protected you might now be poisoning your relationships. You are not responsible for keeping everyone okay.

    Invisible Contracts

    You have made contracts in your life that you probably don’t even remember. Not the kind you sign on paper, but the promises you made to yourself when you were younger. The things you swore you would become. The people you said you would always be there for. The dreams, ambitions, fears, and protections that once made sense, but might now be quietly ruling your life. In this episode, I talk about the soul contracts we carry without realising it. The childhood vows, the old relationships, the pursuit of money, the need to never be hurt again, and the versions of ourselves we’re still trying to honour even though we’ve completely outgrown them. Some contracts deserve renewing. Others need to be ended with intention. This is about noticing what no longer serves you, letting it go, and making space for commitments that actually align with who you are now.

    You Already Have All You Need

    We often ask for more. More money. More time. More energy. More space. More freedom. But before asking for more, maybe we have to look at what we’re already doing with what we have. This episode explores the uncomfortable gap between desire and action. The way we say we want a different life, while spending our time, money, energy, and attention in ways that keep us exactly where we are. It isn’t about guilt. It isn’t about never resting, enjoying yourself, or wanting better. It’s about honesty. If you want more, are you actually using what you already have? Are your choices aligned with the life you say you want? Or are you waiting for more resources before you start becoming the person who would know what to do with them? Maybe the answer isn’t more. Maybe the answer is using what’s already in your hands.
