148: Waking Up Inside Your Own Life
Fri Feb 06 2026
Most people think they’re living their lives—until they realize their nervous system is on call for everyone else.
In this episode, Maurice Philogene breaks down the subtle but dangerous pattern of unconscious living where notifications, urgency, and external demands dictate your mood, energy, and identity before your feet even hit the floor. Drawing from a powerful conversation with a fellow business owner and insights from his TLO Mastermind, Maurice explains why so many high performers feel anxious, reactive, and disconnected despite doing “everything right.”
This episode is a practical wake-up call for anyone who feels constantly behind, overstimulated, or trapped in manufactured urgency and a guide back to authorship over your own life.
Key themes include:
Unconscious living vs. conscious livingHow notifications hijack your nervous systemWhy responsiveness is not the same as leadershipCreating boundaries that protect your energy and focusSimple practices to wake up inside your own life again
Your life is not meant to feel like a constant emergency. If it does, that’s not fate, it’s a pattern. And patterns can be rewritten.
