Episode 106 - Your Ego Is Not the Problem, It’s the Invitation

In this episode of The Coach Is Next Door, I challenge one of the most repeated narratives in personal development: that the ego is something we need to “kill,” “drop,” or “get over.”
But what if the ego isn’t your enemy? What if it’s your invitation to real connection, clarity, and presence?

I explore the ego through the lens of neuroscience and Transactional Analysis, sharing personal stories, client experiences, and a shift in perspective that might just change how you lead, love, and live.

You’ll hear:
Why ego isn’t about arrogance, it’s about identity
The three ego states in Transactional Analysis (Parent, Child, Adult)
How to recognise when your Adult is offline, and how to bring it back
A real coaching story of ego integration in action
A practical reflection to take into your week

This episode is a call to stop fighting your ego and start listening to it. Because when you integrate it, you don’t lose yourself, you finally arrive.
