The Three Beliefs of Ego—and the Truth That Sets You Free with Aaron Abke

What if your emotions—especially the hard ones—aren’t meant to be fixed or avoided… but followed?

In this unfiltered and luminous conversation, I’m joined once again by my dear friend and spiritual teacher Aaron Abke to explore the teachings at the heart of his upcoming book, The Three Beliefs of Ego: A Surfer’s Guide to Freedom.

Together, we explore how sadness, anger, and fear are sacred messengers revealing the ego’s core programming: belief in lack, attachment, and control. And how, when properly understood, these emotions become a divine guidance system that leads us back to our true essence—peace, presence, and personal sovereignty.

This episode is more than a conversation. It’s an initiation into emotional alchemy, ego transmutation, and the kind of freedom that doesn't require you to escape your humanity—but to fully embrace it.

We explore:

The 3 beliefs of ego—and the lies they whisper

The emotional signals that point to what’s out of alignment

Why suffering often intensifies as you awaken

How trauma and karma are part of the soul’s evolution

A powerful reframe on collective grief and tragedy

The wisdom of Jesus’ temptations as a metaphor for ego

Why your ego is not your enemy—but your greatest teacher

This one is personal, profound, and filled with gold. If you’ve been feeling the intensity of these times or seeking a new way to meet your emotions with grace—this is the episode for you.
