Awakening Into Sovereignty with Aaron Scott In this episode, Keri Mangis is joined by author and systems-thinker Aaron Scott for a far-reaching conversation about what it means to awaken inside a world built on inherited myths, conditioning, and collective illusions. Drawing from his background in philosophy and nearly two decades on Wall Street, Aaron offers a rare lens into how our identities are shaped—and misshaped—by the structures we grow up within. Together, they explore the process of shedding those layers and reclaiming a deeper, more grounded truth. This episode moves through: The “synthetic construct” we mistake for reality How childhood conditioning forms identity and disconnects us from our core Disillusionment as a doorway, not a failure The illusion of separation and why it fuels division Conspiracy thinking as a ready-made story that replaces imagination Interconnection as both comfort and responsibility The myth of scarcity—not just of resources, but of time, meaning, and belonging What it means to live from authenticity instead of external validation Sovereignty as a daily practice of truth, agency, and conscious choice Aaron also shares the personal breaking point that pushed him to question the life he had built—and the moment he chose inner truth over external expectations. The conversation closes with a grounded, accessible definition of sovereignty: A return to the truth within, a reclamation of selfhood, and a shift in how we move through the world. If you’ve been sensing that the old stories no longer fit—or that something deeper is calling you back to yourself—this episode meets you right where you are. https://www.theaaronscott.com https://www.amazon.com/BEFORE-WE-FORGET-Collective-Awakening/dp/1969372230
