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?
