i4L: Uncomfortable Wisdom | Self-awareness, Boundaries, Relationships
Uncomfortable Wisdom is a personal growth podcast on self-awareness, boundaries, and relationships. Research-backed insights, real stories, and practical tools you can use this week.
Hosted by Daniel Boyd, former military engineer and master’s-level counselor, this is self-improvement for people who are done chasing easy answers. We blend lived experience with peer-reviewed research to break down what actually helps people evolve.
Topics include emotional regulation, attachment, trauma and post-trauma integration, ego and identity, self-deception, Spiral Dynamics, high-conflict patterns, communication breakdowns, and the psychology of behavior change.
You’ll also hear honest takes on modern dating, meaning and purpose, values, incentives, and the quiet ways people self-sabotage.
This is not performative self-help. It’s Information & Insight for Your Life™.
If an episode hits, share it with someone who is ready for more than surface-level. We’re in Season 4, and we go where most podcasts politely refuse to go.

"The Rot Between Lives"
What if time isn't linear? What if we're trapped in bubbles, cycling through the same life, over and over, making different choices each time, never realizing we've done it all before? Now imagine this, when we die, our consciousness, still tethered to the decaying matter of our last body, compresses time, launching us into the next iteration instantly. But here's the problem, decay isn't just physical, it's existential. Each cycle, the remnants of who we were, bleed into the next, like a corrupted file degrading with every copy.
Maybe that's why some people are born with unexplained phobias, why déjà vu lingers like a whisper from something we almost remember. Maybe the ones who feel the most off aren't crazy, maybe they're just further along in the decay. And if that's true, if each existence is just another broken echo of the last, then the real question isn't where we go when we die, it's how much of us is even left to make the trip.
Sweet dreams folks, may your next reboot be a little less corrupted.
The Rot Between Lives.
What if time isn’t linear? What if we’re trapped in bubbles, cycling through the same life over and over, making different choices each time—never realizing we’ve done it all before?
Now, imagine this: when we die, our consciousness, still tethered to the decaying matter of our last body, compresses time—launching us into the next iteration instantly. But here’s the problem… decay isn’t just physical. It’s existential.
Each cycle, the remnants of who we were bleed into the next, like a corrupted file degrading with every copy. Maybe that’s why some people are born with unexplainable phobias. Why déjà vu lingers like a whisper from something we almost remember. Maybe the ones who feel the most “off” aren’t crazy… maybe they’re just further along in the decay.
And if that’s true… if each existence is just another broken echo of the last… then the real question isn’t where we go when we die.
It’s how much of us is even left to make the trip.
Sweet dreams, folks. May your next reboot be a little less corrupted.
