You Did Everything Right and Still Got Crickets

You get the idea. It is in tune, it is yours, it arrives fully formed. You build it, you write it well, you design it well, you put it out, and it is crickets. Then the answers start. You are holding a shadow. You are not fully committed to it. Your words are not quite there yet. So you go back, you tweak, you put it out again, and still crickets. Here is what I think is actually happening. The intuitive hit was real, but it came through wrapped in the frequency of everybody around you who is sitting where you are sitting. It is not copying. It is the pool you were all drawing from. The way out is to vibrate so specifically that there is nothing left to match. There is also a long piece in here about marketing, and why I will not speak to a pain point to make somebody buy something. I would rather say the true thing and let it find whoever it finds. And a bit at the end about why the next version of you feels frightening. Your body has no proof of her yet. These episodes come from my archive. Years of lives, courses and conversations that were sitting on a channel doing nothing, so I am bringing them back one at a time. Some of it I would say differently now, and that is fine, it is all part of how I got here. First published 16 March 2023. __ I’ve burned through enough identities to stop believing in a final version of myself. For a long time, I stood in the middle of reality demanding answers. Reality laughed, lit a cigarette, and left me holding the blueprint. Now I trace the patterns in identity, belief and human behaviour, and talk about what I find. My Ego Says Hi holds all my old podcasts, alongside whatever comes next. Different versions of me speaking from different points in the same life. My books, Money Surge, Body Surge and Love Surge, explore the patterns, beliefs and behaviours that shape our relationships with money, our bodies and love. Together they form the Surge Trilogy, three 21-day protocols available as full audiobooks on Spotify.
