If you've ever felt trapped in your own thoughts, frustrated by repeating emotional patterns, or exhausted from chasing happiness that never quite lasts, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about personal growth. As today's guest reveals, a lot of our suffering doesn't come from our circumstances—it comes from the unconscious beliefs that shape how we experience reality.

Aaron Abke is a spiritual teacher, founder of 4D University, and the author of The Three Beliefs of Ego: A Sufferer's Guide to Freedom. With a background in theology, a masters degree in biblical studies, and millions of followers drawn to his thought-provoking teachings, Aaron offers a rare ability to bridge psychology, spirituality, and ancient wisdom in a way that's both deeply grounded and radically freeing.

In our conversation, Aaron breaks down the three (3) core ego beliefs and explains how they quietly drive anxiety and inner conflict. We explore why happiness rooted in outcomes often falls short, how ego resists reality, and why true peace begins when we stop fighting life as it is. If you're ready to leave your mental struggles in the past and experience a deeper sense of inner peace, this episode offers a powerful new perspective. Enjoy!
