What if the biggest threats to your happiness and character aren't out there, but quietly growing inside you? Sam and Sophie sit with that uncomfortable question as they unpack Carey Nieuwhof's book on the seven internal challenges nobody warns us about.
They walk through each hidden threat—cynicism, compromise, isolation, comparison, pride, misplaced identity, and an unguarded heart—and the antidotes Nieuwhof offers. From the slow erosion of standards to the poison of comparison, they explore how these patterns quietly derail our lives and what we can do to catch them early.
If you've ever felt like you're drifting without knowing why, this episode names the drift and gives you a way back. The takeaway: the real enemy is usually us, but we can row against the current.
