Listen To Episode 749 As Josh Trent Uncovers:

[00:00] Understanding Awareness vs. Action

  • The disconnect between knowing and doing
  • Why awareness alone isn't enough to create change
  • Mar shares her personal struggle with social media addiction
  • Why we struggle to implement the practices that we know would help us
  • How biological trust must align with conscious knowledge

[04:00] Parts Work Exercise (IFS)

  • Josh guides Mar through connecting with her inner child part named 'Maky' (age 12-13)
  • Maky reveals she believes she must 'prove herself to be worthy of love'
  • The inner child expresses discomfort with receiving love, as it feels unnatural
  • Josh helps Mar establish a gentle connection with this part of herself
  • Maky shares that all she ever wanted was love, but doesn't know how to trust

[11:55] Healing Through Connection

  • Maky agrees to 'come along' with adult Mar on her life journey
  • Mar acknowledges the paradox of wanting love while being afraid to receive it
  • Mar understands that her parents weren't bad people, but struggled to express love in ways she needed
  • Josh notes how this inner child connection is the missing piece between awareness and action
  • The exercise reveals how external behaviors (like social media scrolling) are clues to deeper emotions

[24:25] Integration + Transformation

  • Why awareness isn't about 'fixing' but about loving ourselves into trusting life again
  • How emotional patterns get passed through epigenetics
  • Why awareness is just a guidepost leading to deeper understanding
  • The ultimate goal is liberation through genuine peace and trustworthy power
