Just Start: The Truth About Motivation, Action, and Regret

Starting the year right doesn’t mean doing more. Sometimes it means doing less… with way more intention.

Host Christopher Rausch, in this epic episode of the Raw & Unscripted Podcast, is sharing the real lessons 2025 taught him—not from a mountaintop, but from living it.

This year wasn’t about chasing accomplishments, validation, or feeding my ego.

It was about simplifying. Protecting my health. Making room for fun.

And getting brutally honest about what actually matters.

In this episode, I unpack the reminders that hit me hardest, including:

1. Why assumptions keep us disconnected—and how asking better questions changes everything
2. The importance of scheduling fun on purpose (and what it means if that feels uncomfortable for you)
3. Advocating for your health by addressing root causes, not just symptoms— in your body and your life
4. Letting go of old identities that once protected you but no longer serve who you’re becoming
5. And finally… why feeling overwhelmed isn’t a sign to stop—it’s a sign to start

No hype.

No resolutions you’ll forget by February.

Just real reflections, real responsibility, and real reminders to live congruently with your values.

If you’re ready to begin this year grounded, intentional, and awake to what actually matters—this episode is for you.

🎧 Press play. Start where you are. And take the next right step.

What if The Matrix wasn’t just a movie… but a mirror?

This Christmas season, I’m going solo and pulling back the curtain on a question most people are too distracted to ask:

Are you living your life… or watching it happen through a screen?

The news.

Social media.

Endless scrolling.

Fear-based headlines.

Comparison. Outrage. Division.

What if that is the Matrix?

And what if the red pill isn’t about rebellion or conspiracy—but about presence, gratitude, and choosing reality over reaction?

In this raw and unscripted holiday episode, we’ll talk about:

1. The real-life “Matrix” most people willingly plug into every day
2. Why negativity is addictive and how it quietly steals your peace
3. The modern-day meaning of the red pill vs. the blue pill
4. How awareness—not avoidance—is the path to freedom

Simple, practical shifts to reclaim your focus, joy, and intention

This isn’t about unplugging from the world. It’s about plugging back into your life.

Because freedom doesn’t come from changing the world…It comes from changing what you give your attention to.

This holiday season, the question isn’t what gift you’ll give others. It’s which pill you’ll choose for yourself.

What if the life you think you’re choosing… isn’t fully yours anymore?

This week on Raw & Unscripted, host Christopher Rausch sits down with Paul Nadeau, author of The Hostage Effect, for a conversation that is uncomfortable, eye-opening, and absolutely necessary.

We’re talking about how power, money, algorithms, and influence quietly shape our beliefs, behaviors, and decisions—without us ever noticing. How billionaires and social media giants don’t need chains or cages to control us… because compliance has become subtle, normalized, and addictive.

Paul breaks down:

1. How this “hostage effect” has unfolded historically

1. Why most people don’t realize they’re being controlled

1. How climate narratives, fear-based messaging, and AI accelerate dependence

And most importantly—how to reclaim personal sovereignty, critical thinking, and freedom

This isn’t a conspiracy rant. It’s a wake-up call.

If you value autonomy, truth, and the future of humanity—this episode will challenge you to think deeper, question louder, and choose differently.

Because freedom isn’t taken all at once.

It’s surrendered one compromise at a time.
