Kyle Cease | I Fasted For 11 Days To Dissolve Trauma (Surrender Experiment)
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast
From Comedian To Mindset Teacher
Kyle recounts his comedy career, the anxiety crisis that started his awakening, and the shift into teaching transformation.
Is the discomfort you're trying to fix actually the signal calling you back to your soul instead of another problem to solve?
Josh Trent welcomes Ex-Comedian, Kyle Cease, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 791, to explore how fasting dissolves emotional hunger, why effort and ambition are often trauma driven, how the ego uses goals and problems to stay in control, why pain is a spiritual teacher, and how surrendering identity, outcomes, and the need to be someone can reconnect us to soul, presence, and God.
