In Episode 2 of the R.E.L.I. Forge Podcast, Christopher Wilkins continues reading from Chapter 1 — Recognize.

This episode goes inward. Recognition begins with brutal honesty: seeing your patterns, your faults, your fears, and the ways you may be betraying yourself through delay, distraction, and self-neglect. Christopher also reflects on time — not as something to fear, chase, or waste, but as the present moment we are responsible for owning.

There is no guest in this episode. Just a direct reading and reflection on self-recognition, personal responsibility, and taking back the only moment we truly have: now.

If you have ever felt stuck, distracted, delayed, or pulled away from the man or woman you know you were made to become, this episode is for you.

Recognition is the weapon. Honesty is the edge. The present is where the fight begins.
