Today, I am blessed to have Josh Trent here with me. Host of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, creator of the Liberated Life Tribe and BREATHE: Breath + Wellness. Josh has spent the past 21+ years as a trainer, researcher and facilitator discovering the wellness and wisdom for himself and humans to thrive in our modern world. His mission is to help humans LIBERATE their mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial selves through podcasts, programs, and global tribe that believe in optimizing our potential to THRIVE. In this episode, Josh emphasizes the importance of listening to one's body and mind, focusing on breathwork. He argues that modern life often distracts us from hearing our true needs. By learning to listen to our physical and mental signals, starting with proper breathing, we can reclaim our power and make conscious choices aligned with our true selves. Josh also highlights the influence of intimate relationships and the environment on our internal state. He suggests practical steps like emotional inventories to address pain and cultivate gratitude, advocating for honest self-assessment and the courage to seek support and make meaningful changes. Josh believes every criticism, no matter how harsh, contains a small kernel of truth. Reflecting on a polarizing episode about circumcision that clashed with religious beliefs and sparked backlash, he stresses addressing criticisms with facts instead of personal attacks. In the past, such negativity might have triggered him, but now he focuses on maintaining pure intentions, which makes one impervious to criticism. Tune in as Josh emphasizes conscious breathing and emotional inventory as key practices for mental clarity and purpose, leading to a liberated, secret-free life.
