Thad Wong: Healing From The Inside-Out

When Thad Wong moved in with his future wife, his secret relationship with alcohol was exposed—and everything changed.

 

In this deeply reflective conversation, Thad shares how he went from numbing the pain of “not being enough” with alcohol and marijuana to building a life of spiritual connection and embodied strength through internal martial arts and the 12 steps.

 

We dive into the heart of wu wei, the Chinese concept of effortless action, and how Thad’s practice of qigong and Bagua Zhang helped him shift from doing to being. He opens up about surrender, rebuilding trust, and why healing requires facing your inner dragons—not just quitting alcohol.

 

If you’re stuck in the loop of overachieving, overthinking, or overdrinking—this one’s for you.
