0:00.0	Coming up next on Passionstruck, picture this. You're in a conversation that suddenly turns sharp.
0:07.9	Someone criticizes you, maybe gently, maybe not. And without thinking, you shut down or lash out, or laugh it off like it didn't sting.
0:19.2	Then later, in silence, it hits you. Why did I react like that?
0:24.4	What just triggered me inside? That right there is the work. The moment between trigger and the
0:32.9	truth, the moment your shadow shows up, uninvited, unedited. In episode 636, we're not talking about
0:41.1	productivity hacks. We're talking about emotional honesty, because doing the inner work is not a
0:48.3	self-help side quest. It's the path. And if you've ever wondered why the same patterns keep repeating or why self-sabotage

1:42.6	Now, let's go out there and become Passionstruck.
1:46.1	Welcome to Passionstruck. I'm your host, John Miles, and this is episode 636 in our ongoing
1:52.6	series, The Power to Change. Over the past few weeks, we've been exploring how real transformation
1:58.0	happens, not through willpower alone, but through identity shifts,
2:03.5	emotional insight, and conscious design. In my last episode, Becoming Who You Were Me
2:08.7	Episode 633, we explored how small, anchored shifts can reshape your inner narrative and how
2:16.7	the habits you build aren't just actions,
2:19.7	they're votes for the person you're becoming. And earlier this week in episode 634, I sat down
