Out of Our Wounds Grows a Theme

In this episode, Josh tells the story of a successful man who spent his entire life feeling like a fraud — and how that feeling traced all the way back to one childhood wound.

He explains why every one of us has a theme that grows out of our earliest pain, and how those themes quietly repeat themselves through adulthood: invisibility, control, worth tied to achievement, fear of abandonment, and more.

Josh breaks down how these themes shape our relationships, careers, and internal narratives — and why the only way to stop being ruled by them is to finally recognize them.

Get to know your theme. Own it. Or it will own you.
