  • When Unjust Power Comes at You – and What You Can Do about It

    29/04/2026 | 32 mins.
    When power comes at us — through authority, intimidation, manipulation, or fear — it can stir old anxiety and self-doubt. So this week I explored how power affects the mind, from personal relationships and childhood conditioning to social hierarchies and authoritarian appeals. We took a look at how greed, hatred, and delusion can corrupt power, how to recognize manipulation and intimidation, and how to reclaim your attention instead of letting fear run the show.

  • How to Claim the Power You Do Have (and Disengage Where You Don’t)

    22/04/2026 | 32 mins.
    We often give away our power by focusing on what we can’t control and getting pulled into stress, overthinking, or other people’s reactions. This week I focused on how to reclaim your power by focusing on where you actually have influence—your attention, your actions, and your choices—so you can live with more clarity, strength, and purpose.
