Episode 33: 11/11.

Episode 32: Welcome to another Sleep-Drunk episode of Cultured Boy — the late-night, unfiltered version where I hit record when I should be going to bed. 💤In this one, I talk about what it really takes to make the kinds of decisions that look impossible from the outside — leaving a job, a marriage, a religion, or an old version of myself. I share the fears I faced walking away from a fundamentalist Mormon cult (yep, the one I was born into with 44 siblings), how I built a new life from scratch in New York City, and why the scariest choices are often the most honest.If you’ve ever felt stuck between what’s safe and what’s true — this episode’s for you.💬 Topics: fear, courage, reinvention, leaving religion, creativity, self-trust, New York City, authenticity.✨ Subscribe if you’re into deep, honest storytelling that explores how curiosity can change a life.#CulturedBoy #CalvinWayman #SelfDiscovery #Authenticity #LeavingReligion #Cults #Courage #LifeDesign #NYC #PodcastTIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Sleep-Drunk Truths ☕️0:11 Making Impossible Decisions 💭1:21 From Cult Kid to New Yorker 🗽3:10 A Time Capsule for Future Me ⏳5:32 Why Fear Isn’t the Enemy 😨8:04 The Leap: Quitting My Job ✂️10:08 Fear vs. Bigger Fear ⚖️12:37 The 10-Year Test ⌛️15:01 Make the Decision, Then Make It Right ✅17:54 Expansive or Contracting? 🌌20:44 Growing Your Zone of Control 🌱25:19 10% to 11% Progress ➕28:58 The Hardest Decision: Leaving the Religion 🔥33:00 Breaking the Spell 🧠37:02 Questioning Everything 🤔41:14 One Life That’s Truly Yours 💫47:36 Gratitude for the Journey 🙏52:59 The Radar of Awareness 🛰️55:01 Moving to New York ✈️1:00:35 Normalizing the Impossible 🌆1:05:09 Full-Time Creator Life 🎬1:07:15 Returning Home, Feeling the Contrast 🪞1:09:03 Cults, Culture & Curiosity 🌀1:10:50 You’re Capable of More Than You Realize 💪1:11:49 Closing Thoughts & Goodnight 🌙
