• Are You Born Lucky Or Do You Create It? | Dr. Tom Myers
    Jan 27 2026

    Synchronicity isn’t random.
    It’s perception.

    In this conversation, Dr. Tom Myers, Ph.D., breaks down what synchronicity really is and why some people recognize meaningful patterns while others miss them entirely.

    We explore how the brain filters reality, how perception shapes decision making, and why control can quietly block clarity. This is not about manifestation or believing harder. It’s about applied psychology, awareness, and learning how to read reality more accurately.

    If you’ve ever felt like life was trying to tell you something, this conversation will change how you understand why.

  • Dr. Gail | Why What You Were Labeled Might Be Your Greatest Advantage
    Jan 20 2026

    You Versus You is a psychological audit for people who achieved what they were chasing and realized the real conflict didn’t disappear. It just moved inward. This episode explores how traits once labeled as problems often become the very systems that drive creativity, leadership, and original thinking.

    Dr. Gail reframes mental differences not as disorders to fix, but as internal operating systems that were misunderstood, suppressed, or mismanaged. We examine how labels shape identity, how validation and shame create internal pressure, and why so many high performers feel fractured despite external success.

    This conversation isn’t about healing or motivation. It’s about clarity. If you’ve ever felt successful but misaligned, capable but constrained, this episode offers a different lens to understand what’s actually been driving you.

  • Pink Sweat$ Reveals the Truth About Faith, Trauma, and Self-Worth
    Jan 13 2026

    In this episode of You vs You, Lex Borrero sits down with Pink Sweat$ for a conversation that starts in Philadelphia church culture and ends in the quiet, daily work of healing, accountability, and becoming whole.

    Pink opens up about growing up behind a drum kit, watching people show up to church week after week yet rarely transforming, and how that shaped his relationship with faith, truth, and identity. Together, they unpack the tension between organized religion and a personal connection with God, the way power and money can distort systems, and why real growth often requires you to challenge what you were taught… even when it came from people you love.

    As the conversation deepens, Pink connects the dots between songwriting and spirituality: how words create emotion, how they can also become mental prisons, and why the discipline behind “softness” is actually a form of strength. Lex shares his perspective on self-worth, inner battles, and the modern craving for validation, and Pink reflects on what it means to stay grounded in a world that rewards noise, attention, and performance.

    They also touch on childhood wounds, the fear of letting people in, and how small moments can quietly shape your entire life, until you finally close the loop and choose to heal. The episode ends with a simple but powerful question: what’s the one word you need to hear to win the battle of you versus you? Pink’s answer is raw, human, and unforgettable.

    If you’re navigating anxiety, identity struggles, trauma, faith, people-pleasing, creative pressure, or the need to be understood, this is the kind of episode that doesn’t just motivate you—it sits with you.

    Watch now, then ask yourself:

    • What belief did I inherit that I’ve never questioned?

    • Where am I still creating from lack instead of wholeness?

    • What part of me is asking to be understood—and by who?

  • Success Still Feels Empty (And What No One Warns You About)
    Dec 23 2025

    What happens when you get everything you worked for and it still doesn’t feel right?

    In this episode of You Versus You, we explore the internal conflict many high performers never talk about the gap between achievement and fulfillment.

    From thriving in chaos, to redefining failure, to confronting the false promises of success, this conversation unpacks why hustle alone can’t bring peace and why learning to rest, trust, and listen inward may be the most powerful skill of all.

    This episode isn’t about titles, money, or status.
    It’s about identity, perception, and the quiet internal battle between who you’ve been conditioned to be and who you actually are.

    Key themes explored:
    • Why winners fail more than anyone else
    • The illusion of control and future happiness
    • How chaos becomes a coping mechanism
    • Success, burnout, and the cost of never slowing down
    • Learning to trust your intuition instead of external validation

    If you’ve ever thought, “I should feel happier than this,” this episode is for you.

    Dec 16 2025

    In this You Vs You conversation, Lex sits down with Eif, a Bronx raised artist and director who went from graffiti and album art to shaping some of hip hop’s most iconic visuals, to talk about the question that quietly breaks high performers: what is “enough”?

    They unpack the invisible cost of success: the chase that never ends, the pressure of staying relevant, the loneliness behind the work, and the moment you realize you can “have it all” and still feel unsettled. Eif shares how his creative journey moved from the streets of New York to major music videos, commercials, and film, and what he learned the hard way about time, family, and peace.

    If you’ve ever wondered why ambition can feel like a roller coaster and how to build a life where your work doesn’t own you, this episode is for you.

    What happens when one of the internet’s biggest comedy creators finally slows down and looks inward?

    In this episode of You Versus You, Lex Borrero sits down with Lele Pons to explore the woman behind the viral videos: the immigrant child who didn’t speak the language, the only child craving validation, the creator battling OCD and mental health, and now the mother learning to love her imperfections and slow down.

    Lele opens up about:
    • How physical comedy and dark humor became her survival tools
    • The moment Will Smith told her she inspired him
    • Leaving Venezuela, culture shock in the U.S., and feeling completely alone
    • OCD, intrusive thoughts, and why mental health is an explanation, not an excuse
    • Fame, loneliness, and becoming a “character” instead of herself
    • How her husband taught her to love her imperfections
    • Motherhood, legacy, and the one word that defines her today: “unbreakable.”
