North Node: The Yoga & Astrology Podcast
Episode 55: Loosening the Ego’s Grip
In this episode, we explore the ego—what it actually is, why it shows up so strongly, and how to loosen its grip so you can live with more joy, connection, and mental clarity. Instead of seeing the ego as “bad,” we break down its true purpose and how it subtly drives our thoughts, reactions, relationships, and sense of self.
You’ll learn practical ways to soften ego-driven patterns like perfectionism, comparison, defensiveness, and the constant need to prove yourself. We discuss how an unexamined ego can contribute to anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm—and how simple shifts in awareness can create more freedom, authenticity, and inner peace.
If you’re ready to understand yourself more deeply and move through life with less tension and more joy, this episode will meet you right where you are.
