Summary

How do you build agency and resilience in a world that profits from your distraction?

How can we live with authenticity when everything feels fake?

What if the hardest parts of being human are actually just a result of cultural conditioning, quietly shaping your life from the shadows of your subconscious mind?

On today’s show, we go deep with my friend Josh Trent, host of Wellness and Wisdom. We’ll dig into the science behind epigenetic and generational habits, and explore what happens when you start asking better questions about your life and grow beyond survival mode.

As Josh shares, sometimes we need to break down to break through.

On this episode, you'll discover:

The secrets to being impossibly productive while avoiding burnout
How to redirect faulty inherited beliefs and rewire maladaptive emotional patterns
How an addiction to pickleball destroyed a client's life
And much more...
