The Fractured Self Podcast
Who are you when you drop the mask? Join Rich as he explores the intersection of depth psychology, existential philosophy, and authentic identity. This isn't self-help or motivation, it's a step into the unconscious patterns, shadow work, and existential questions that shape who we really are. Drawing from Jungian psychology, existentialist thought, and raw personal reflection, each episode examines the fractured spaces where our authentic selves hide beneath societal conditioning. For those ready to question not just what they believe, but why they exist at all.

Nowhere at Home: When Connection Becomes Displacement
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There is a loneliness that has nothing to do with isolation. You can be connected to hundreds of people, immersed in communities that span the globe, and still feel profoundly homeless, not quite belonging anywhere, always partially elsewhere, inhabiting every space provisionally.
This is not about being locked out. This is about being let in everywhere, partially, with the understanding that leaving is always an option. Connection as buffet. Sampling without settling. The self as carry-on luggage.
In this episode, we sit inside that exhaustion. The distributed demand of partial presences. The guilt that pools in the gaps between communities. The terror of choosing because choosing means becoming someone specific. The recognition that provisional belonging is not a stage before home, it is the permanent condition now.
This is Fractured Self.
