S2 E6 | The Ego Doesn’t Leave — It Waits
This Tree and Me by Cory J Riggs
Episode notes
Motivation can push you forward.
Inspiration can lift you up.
But neither of them heals the parts of you that keep repeating the same patterns.
In this episode, I explore the difference between motivation, inspiration, and true healing—and why ignoring the ego doesn’t make it disappear. It waits.
We talk about why cycles repeat, why success doesn’t protect us from breakdown, and why healing the ego is not about killing it—but learning how to lead it with compassion, trust, and honesty.
This is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about becoming whole.
