Hey there,

The latest episode of Solved just dropped: How to Quiet Your Ego (Without Losing Yourself)​

We often think ego only shows up in obvious ways like bragging, controlling, or competing. But most of the time, it shows up quietly: the need to be liked, the fear of rejection, the stories we tell ourselves to stay safe. That’s where it does the most damage—because you don’t even notice it happening.

In this episode, Drew and I break down what the ego actually is, why it evolved, and how it distorts your perception without you realizing it. We talk about how ego-driven reactions keep people stuck, reactive, and easy to manipulate, and what changes when the ego gets quieter.

You’ll walk away with science-backed tools for better self-awareness and clearer thinking: how to spot ego stories sooner, respond instead of react, and make healthy decisions based on reality rather than insecurity.
