Feeling Lost? Try This: Microdose Solitude + Use These 4 Questions (Ft Ben Katt)

About this episode

Ben Katt shares his journey of confronting identity and disconnection after years of meaningful work.

Before the whisper, it looked like a life of meaning—until a subconscious message exposed everything underneath. Ben Katt shares the moment that forced him to confront a truth most people avoid: you can build a life that looks meaningful on the outside—and still feel completely disconnected on the inside. After years as a pastor serving others, Ben hit a breaking point that exposed how much of his identity was built on achievement, expectation, and performance. What followed was a journey into the unknown—through burnout, self-inquiry, and ultimately a radical redefinition of who he was. This episode explores the uncomfortable but necessary path of shedding old identities, sitting in uncertainty, and learning how to reconnect with something deeper.
