In this episode of the Five Year You podcast, we dive into the framework we created called The Layers of Life. This model helps you understand the difference between living a life on autopilot and living a life on purpose—from your soul outward.

We’ll walk you through the five layers:

  1. Soul – your essence and spiritual center
  2. Self – your emotional, mental, and physical well-being
  3. Social – your relationships and sense of community
  4. Substance – how you spend your time, career, and lifestyle
  5. Significance – your environment, achievements, and influence

If you've ever felt like something’s missing—like you’re living from the outside in—this episode will help you re-center and start living from the inside out. We share personal stories, examples, and tiny actions to help you reconnect with your authentic self.
