Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

Ask yourself the right questions. Instead of asking yourself this unanswerable question all the time, 'Why them and not me? Why don't I have this? Why didn't I have this?' and using up all of your energy on the idea that life is just unfair ask yourself this: 'Do I want to be a victim all my life and sit around feeling sorry for myself?' Flip the switch and tell yourself, 'Okay, these were the cards that I was dealt. What can I do?' Place yourself back in the driver's seat and put that ball of empowerment back in your court. Take that kind of mentality and just run with it. You can do anything. - Liz Swail Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy.   PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.   Listen To Episode 474 As Liz Swail Uncovers: [1:30] Alive + Well in Austin, Texas Liz Swail Alive + Well | Austin, Texas RUNGA What we're going to explore on today's podcast: true health and wellness from the inside out.

What surprised Josh the most about Alive + Well and some of their products and services he has tried already. 400 Cal Callahan | The Great Unlearn: How To Find Your Purpose & Redefine Success How Liz and her husband, Mike, as well as other colleagues, have been so welcoming and meaningful to Josh and Carrie since moving from California to Texas.

How Liz was able to transition and leave her toxic environment behind for something better for herself. Difficult moments for Liz even before she was born with everything telling her mother to have an abortion when she was pregnant with her at 13 years old. What comes up for Liz today with all of the conversations surrounding pro-choice and pro-life.

Hawkins Why a low level emotion like despair has to be experienced in order to get to courage. The moment in Liz's life when she realized that having a title and money wasn't sucess for her. Why it's so beneficial to ask yourself question prompts + why it's okay if you don't answer them until later. 384 Shawn Stevenson | Eat Smarter: Use the Power of Food to Reboot Your Metabolism, Upgrade Your Brain, and Transform Your Life How deep contrast is so vital to propel us to something better or some type of growth journey. The moment Josh realized that having judgement about people with money and opportunities was actually blocking him from achieving those things as well. Why many people who do come from money don't always have a success story because they lack awareness and values.   [21:00] Breaking Your Negative Mindset + Behavior Cycles How to get out of victim mode by asking yourself these questions according to Liz.

What Liz's childhood and observing her grandparents taught her about emotional intelligence and love. How Liz felt lost during university, her skill sets, and what she should do with her life.

Why it's so easy to blame caregivers and the people around you for your childhood environment but it's actully disempower and not the right energy to use to help you forward.

Why our sickcare system isn't giving people the actual help that people need. 140 Unconventional Medicine – Chris Kresser   [30:00] Never Rob Someone of Their Process Different wellness services they offer at Alive + Well to help people on their health journeys from functional medicine to vitamin shots to relaxing spa packages. Alive + Well's mission to help people find and heal themselves if and when they are feeling lost. 277 How To Access Your Inner Coach: Christine Hassler Why it's so important to never rob someone of their process and you cannot force them to heal; they have to do it on their own terms and when they're ready for it. What therapies can help someone get their emotional energies unstuck and back into motion. Her father's experience being a drug addict, his recovery process, and her amazement at the life he's living today after being addicted for over 4 decades. Why no one is unhelpable; we can always heal and get better by setting goals, sticking to a path, and keep doing the inner work. Josh's own struggle with food and why control is a coping mechanism for many people. Why Alive + Well is not like other places; especially when it comes to individual attention and treating you like a person rather than a number. What Alive + Well is doing to always focus on growing and helping people thrive with new healing methods. How to make wellness like a fun hobby: something that you enjoy and can geek out on so that you're actually enjoying the journey.   [38:00] How Shroom Tea Helped Liz's Breakthrough Her experience trying shroom tea for the first time while living in the Caribbean and how that helped her have a personal epiphany and boost her confidence. 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines? Wisdom on Microdosing, The Muscle of Faith + How to Grow Your Spiritual Strength Her past practice of building another life in her mind to get away from coping with her reality at the time and sharing these made-up stories with other people until the shroom tea helped her realize that she didn't need to do that. Josh's recent experience connecting with his grandfather with a similar tea during a men's group event. How to be careful about plant medicine and why there's a right and a wrong way to do it.

Unpacking Liz's recent move to Dallas with her family and the current healing spiral she is facing right now. Her childhood habit of detaching herself from a current situation and how that is showing up now for her. Why she thinks it's very important to cultivate discipline in life because it will show up for you all of the time once it's a habit compared to motivation. What Liz does to manage her dark thoughts and why it's so important not to judge yourself for having those thoughts but just let them pass through you, acknowledge that they're there but not forever, and important questions to ask yourself. How developing good habits when you're healthy and in a good mindset will help carry you when you're not in that space of wellness. 423 Ryan Duey | Ice Baths: Cold Therapy For Weight Loss, Immunity, Metabolism & Mental/Emotional Health Why doing the cold plunge helps Liz so much when she is in a fight or flight mode.

What Liz does to show up as the best version of herself that she can be for her children in order to protect and support them. Why our children serve a purpose of reminding us what life is all about in the end. How and why we have moved away from the importance of family because of our current society and government. Common roots of important pieces of history including communism and the Holocaust that all started with dividing families. Why Liz believes that we all have holes in our hearts right now that we need to fill ourselves with the love and light of spirituality, a Higher Power, or God - whatever you believe in to feel whole and help one stay grounded. How removing God or Higher Power and spiritual beliefs plus feeding people junk food along and keeping them sick while also dividing families also leads to people being easily controlled according to Liz.   [1:05:00] Building Powerful Connection Within Ourselves and with Our Partner How gender dysphoria and confusing children's psyche as young as four years old is priming them for the brokenness that will need to be healed as adults yet some never truly heal. The detachment Liz faced when she was touched inappropriately by men when she was a kindergartner. How the pursuit of sole pleasure and no connection can break down one's humanity. 379 Drew Manning | How To Be Fit After 40: Why Drew Gained 75 Pounds on Purpose (Again!) Josh and fellow podcasters who have been addicted to porn for so long plus their journey being open about it. The intense experience Josh had with an Ayahuasca ceremony that did not go well and he ended up absorbing a dark entity that led to a psychic break. Paul Chek | All is God How Josh consciously chooses to be with Carrie and their son rather than allow thoughts about porn take over his control.   [1:12:30] The Evolving Wellness Journey + Cultivating Purpose Struggles Liz still faces today and that she is open about sharing with the world. How Liz has learned to love herself and the gifts that she does have instead of comparing herself to other people. What they do at Alive + Well to help people get well enough that they can step into their purpose and fully express themselves. The different layers of Liz, the time it took to get her health to where it is today, and why wellness is a never-ending journey for all of us. The fact that you can go in on something with a goal but you cannot be attached to the outcome and Liz explains why that is true. Why she believes it's so important to believe in some sort of power and embrace how incredible it is that we are a moment but there is something eternal.   [1:17:45] Unblocking Irrational Fear to Let Go of Trauma Her relationship with fear as she moves through the things that she is responsible for every day. How her husband, Michael, has helped her alleviate the fears she never thought she would get rid of like not being supported.  Questions she asks herself to help her unpack her fears in order to heal and move past them. How doing a holotropic breathwork experience helped her do some intense inner child work. Why a lot of our angry emotions and behaviors come forward because of the fear we had as children. The importance of uncovering your biggest irrational fears in order to finally not allow it to hijack your thinking and let unresloved trauma go. How she defines wellness and what living a life well looks like to her especially after her mother passed away.   Power Quotes From The Show Embracing the Whole Journey: Good Times + Bad Times "A society, we're in this pursuit of zero discomfort and instant gratification but without that contrast and journey we can't show up in an authentic way for other people. We can't show up in a powerful way for other people. If we can change that and allow ourselves to feel both the good and the bad, the comfort and discomfort so that we can be empowered." - Liz Swail   How to Control + Heal Fearful Thoughts "When you're fearful of something, you can't think of anything else. It's that inner questioning of 'What's going to happen if...?' and your brain is constantly spinning and spending energy on it. It's a waste because then you can't think of anything else like creating something bigger and better. So, recognize that fear when you feel it, don't be upset about it, and ask yourself why you're feeling afraid." - Liz Swail   Get Closer to Your Inner Child with Breathwork "What inner child ideas are coming up when you are afraid, angry, or anxious? Personally, I never understood or did inner child work until I tried holotropic breathing. I sobbed like I never did before and I could see myself at 5 and 7 being hurt by other people. That helped me to say to my inner child, 'I'm so sorry that happened to you little Liz,' and recognize how some fear had manifested in me from a very young age. When you act a certain way like snapping at your spouse it is almost always related to a fear." - Liz Swail   Links From Today's Show  Liz Swail RUNGA 400 Cal Callahan | The Great Unlearn: How To Find Your Purpose & Redefine Success The Map of Consciousness Explained by David R.

Liz had a complicated journey into the health and wellness space, as growing up she experienced a turbulent home life, disordered eating, suicidal thoughts, and poverty. Childhood: comparing the “then” and “now” of her life, touching on how she transformed her own health by making changes over time. The benefits of giving up gluten and alcohol, and the long-term benefits that you’ll see if you invest time and effort into your weightlifting regime. Liz balanced her strength training around her two pregnancies, and she managed to keep training right up until giving birth. Liz says that her Christian faith plays in her life and encourages listeners to find a higher power so that they’re not the center of their own universe.

The breath found me. My philosophy around breathwork is that it is opening us up to be conduits for life, love, and spirit to flow through us. - Gwen Payne Are You Stressed Out Lately?

How growing up in a Mediterranean culture where differences are celebrated allows Gwen to see how homogenous American culture and identity are all over the country. What Gwen's 'Breath is Prayer' medicine is and how it helped Josh let go of held-back emotions. Why experience is vital if you're going to facilitate and hold space as you lead a breathwork ceremony. The fact that the average adult is only using 30% of their lung capacity. Why sometimes people are so triggered and afraid by the idea of doing the inner work that they don't even begin it. Exploring the deeply embedded thought in our psyche that everything we need is outside of ourselves when that isn't true. Why we are so afraid to authentically express ourselves out of fear of being punished. [10:40] The Core of Behavioral Dysfunction What microtrauma is and how Josh did it to himself when he would watch porn or not speak his truth when he was a child. Why energy from trauma doesn't just go away; it transmutes. Unpacking the core of dysfunction: being out of alignment with our natural way of being. Why freedom is something that we already have and how we can unblock ourselves to obtain it. The moments of freedom that Gwen has experienced and witnessed in others while doing breathwork. Why just doing breathwork is not enough; the release it gives us is fleeting and so it must be practiced consistently to help us feel free and in alignment. The fact that it takes 90 seconds for an emotion to move through us + what it is about our psyche that blocks them. Going beyond the intellectualization of our healing to focus on somatic healing. 249 SOMA Breath For Less Stress: Niraj Naik 410 Mark Divine | Positive Neurodiversity: Kokoro Spirit, The 5 Mountains For Inner Peace, & How To Fulfill Your Potential Why Gwen was the only breathwork teacher that made Josh feel like he could teach other people.

The fact that more and more people are turning to breathwork as we experience more stress as a collective. How to go about selecting a breathwork program according to Gwen. Why it's so important to be a facilitator who creates such a safe space for participants that no matter what comes up, they can be there and support the people participating in the session. What usually comes up for people when they do breathwork and why trauma is present in various ways from crying and shaking to laughter or coughing. Gwen's own intense breathwork moment with a client and why it could've been an ego stripping or something from his past being let go. [34:20] We'll Always Be a Student of Life Josh Trent: Solocast | Healing The Father Wound, 100+ Hours Fasting, Vision Questing + Being Alone With Mother Nature’s Wisdom The best way to use breath to assist an emotion as it makes its way through the body in 90 seconds. Why having an open mouth during breathwork makes such a difference because there is a lot of control held within the jaw. The fact that we can never fully become a master at anything until we accept that we are a student. Gwen's thirst for always growing, learning, and becoming an even better breathwork facilitator and trainer. Her experience growing up in North Africa in an atheist/agnostic household and why it was the most educational and informative experience for her.

The fact that Gwen's great aunt was a spiritual teacher ever since her early 20s and how that influenced her mother. What a Sufi retreat is and what most people get wrong about sufism.

Her experience being a single mother and fighting for her children in different ways. How breathwork and other inner work practices have helped her shift her trauma and difficult experiences into something that has made her stronger. Why she strongly believes that we all need mentors and even multiple ones to help us develop. Paleo(Fx) Who she turned to for help and support when she didn't receive that from her family.

What to expect during a Breath is Prayer experience with Gwen. Why it's not uncommon for people to feel nauseous, dizzy, or even feel the need to go to the bathroom during a breathwork ceremony. The fact that Josh is still feeling the powerful medicine from last night's breathwork practice. How deep early childhood programming leads to our subconscious not wanting to feel and unpack our emotions, especially those we need to heal. [1:01:00] Why Death Can be Our Greatest Advisor Exploring the concept of death and how sometimes Josh and Gwen have experienced unique "death-like" out-of-body sensations during breathwork and for Josh also Ayahuasca ceremonies. Why the idea of death as her advisor has been a philosophy for Gwen for many years. The powerful exercise she did in which she was told death was coming and she had to prepare by writing letters to people and her own will. Lessons that death has taught her about how to be and live her life. How her grandmother's illness with polio and needing to walk with crutches showed up for Gwen in her epigenetics, beliefs, and healing journey. The deeply imprinted belief Gwen had at one point that she could not trust life. Molecules of Emotion: The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine by Candace B. Pert The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton How Family Constellations has expanded to the Systemic as well (such as the soul of a business for example) or the Collective to find out where energy is being blocked or not properly healed. [1:10:00] How Breath Exposes What's Already There Mindbody University What fascinated Gwen about breathwork the most to become a facilitator. How she has combined breathwork with the passion test, hypnotherapy, and epigenetic trauma. The incredible fact that we are breathing the same breath that our ancestors did. How you can combine breathwork with other healing modalities such as Family Constellations. The power of just doing a regular if not daily 3-10 minute breathwork practice. Gwen's powerful practice that she always does at the end of each of her own breathwork practices. Why Gwen says that "Breathwork doesn't bring anything new, it just exposes what's already there." Gwen's gift to the audience including an online breathwork ceremony recording. What Gwen believes is the meaning of her being a breathwork facilitator and life coach in Sedona. Why she believes we should all be striving to be the most authentic version of ourselves. The fact that it's just so much easier to trust a healer who is open about what they themselves are working on like in Gwen's case. What wellness means for Gwen with all of her life and work experiences. Power Quotes From The Show Letting Go of Our Collective Fear of Emotion "Collectively, we have such a profound fear of emotions. If people were to really go in and sort of take a magnifying glass approach at some of the beliefs that they hold in their body that have been imprinted on them, not that they consciously think these thoughts but they have them: 'If I feel this I will die,' or 'If I feel this I will go crazy,' or 'If I feel this I will never come back from it,' and on and on. So, people just fight it tooth and nail and the truth of the matter is if we could open up and allow that energy to flow through us, it's pretty easy. It might be intense but it's pretty easy." - Gwen Payne We're Only Using 30% of Our Lung's Capacity on Average "Do you know how little people are breathing? 30% is what the average American adult is said to breathe of their functional lung capacity. Only 30% is essentially starvation mode for the cells of your body and for your brain. You are literally living in survival mode and I don't think as a society we can help but feel anxious and depressed. If there is one thing I would encourage people to do, it's to breathe more." - Gwen Payne How Breathwork Unlocks Our Essential Nature "In breathwork, one of the things that I find so impactful is that concepts become viscerally experienced, and then it's an embodiment. In that moment of embodiment, there's nothing else that we're focusing on outside of ourselves; nothing. It's part of our essential nature. Those are the moments of freedom that I have experienced and witnessed in others.

Gwen credits her diversity and cultural experiences as the most formative education of her life – one that provided her unique vision and perspective upon which she draws in her work.   Gwen's Passion for Breathwork At the age of 21, Gwen stumbled across breathwork when she took part in her for spiritual retreat. She has remained passionate about it ever since. When she found a breathwork school years later, it's solidified her journey with the breath and her calling to share its power.

In a world that is left brain dominant, I have found that plant medicines have illuminated the path for me to connect deeply to my own innate intelligence & as a result, they have opened up the opportunity to have a nice cosmic giggle from time to time from the incredible gift that is the innate intelligence of the human mind, body & spirit. - Ryan Sprague Speaking to my own experiences within the realm of plant medicines, I have found one of the most potent effects from these experiences to be the ability for me to deepen my physical, emotional, mental & spiritual intelligence. For me, intelligence has been far more profound than knowledge, as while knowledge is defined as the collection of skills & information a person has, intelligence is directly related to how an individual applies his or her knowledge to their experience of life. Stopping by to share his time & wisdom with us today on the show is an individual who has made it his life mission to help others gain physical, emotional, mental & spiritual intelligence in the important work he creates in the world. Josh is the CEO of “Wellness Force Media” & host of “Wellness + Wisdom Podcast”, which is a show committed to providing wisdom from some of the greatest minds in today's world as to how to create authentic well being in their experience of life in order to live a life full of confidence, freedom & optimal wellness. He is also a dedicated father & husband & is passionate about guiding others who are looking to increase their quality of life through his free guides & the incredible community & tribe he has created by joining like minded individuals together to support one another in their experience of life & if all of that wasn’t enough, he is also someone who has benefitted from the conscious, intentional use of plant medicines. Within this episode, we will be diving into some of these experiences, the notion of less being more within the plant medicines space & what his experiences have allowed for within his journey of life.

If you don't go fight your battles and you're always open heart full time no matter if it kills you, if you don't go do what you're supposed to do on this planet - you have an energy inside of you and the obstacles that you face in your life are there to test that energy and if you avoid those obstacles, the energy turns in. The only choice you have is to listen to your intuition; what are you pulled to? What can't you get out of your mind? This helps lead you to your dharma. - Joseph Anew Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on. Listen To Episode 468 As Joseph Anew Uncovers: [1:30] How to be an Intuitive Warrior Today Joseph Anew RUNGA Spartan Race Intuitive Warrior Podcast Heartful: Practices to Awaken the Heart BREATHE. | Joe DiStefano | TEDxLugano Exploring how to be an intuitive warrior in our modern era and why it's such a challenge for many people. 375 Bizzie Gold: Break Method | Why Instinct And Intuition Are Not The Same (Rewiring The Subconscious) Breaking down how intuition is different from instinct. Why intuition gets stronger the more and more you use it. How Joseph has grown his intuitive muscle rather than just doing what his higher self wanted him to do. The fact that you can test your intuition through muscle testing. Paul Chek Joe Dispenza Why the future of healing comes down to frequency and vibration. [8:00] Joseph's Evolution + Hero's Journey from 3 Near Death Experiences Leonidas I Why Joseph decided to change his name, especially because of his son. Joseph's horrific accident when he actually fractured his skull. The inner strength Joseph found within as he began to heal and be his own support system. His mission to help everyone around him become stronger as he began to recover but deep down he really wasn't fine. The doctors that helped him and his decision to move to the island of St. John for a while after learning he was going to be alright after his accident after all. Why his parents weren't able to give him the support he needed but he has made peace with that. The various other accidents Joseph has been through from cracking his teeth to breaking his ribs to dislocating his shoulder. Joseph's first experience during an epic obstacle race and how it connected him to himself. Why actually just showing up to a Spartan event is half the battle of attending it. [20:00] How Obstacles Test our Energy + Purpose 086 Creating The Unbeatable Mind With Mark Divine 410 Mark Divine | Positive Neurodiversity: Kokoro Spirit, The 5 Mountains For Inner Peace, & How To Fulfill Your Potential Joseph's incredibly close relationship with his grandfather. His first spiritual awakening walking into his grandfather's home for the first time in 10 years after he passed away. Why the obstacles we face in life are there to test our energy and purpose. The importance of not avoiding the obstacles you face in life. Paths to God: Living the Bhagavad Gita by Ram Dass His obstacle in trying to read Paths to God and what important message came from that for his journey. What steps you can take to find your dharma or purpose by tuning inwards. Alan Watts The aiming issue that many people face when trying to figure out and live by their dharma. [28:30] How to Become the Frequency of Change How Joe Dipsenza's work has greatly impacted Joseph's journey. Where Joseph is at now compared to before having his frequency shift with Joe Dispenza's work. Why the phrase from Dispenza, "Be the frequency of change," has been so helpful for his growth. Arnold Patent Eckhart Tolle Tony Robbins Why acting like all of your dreams and goals have come true is so powerful. Their decision to ask people to fill out applications to be accepted to attend RUNGA. Breaking down how the heart acts as a magnet. The difference between the idea of 'law of attraction' and true sending and receiving messages on a higher frequency. [34:40] The Cataclysmic Event of Leon's Birth The incredible cataclysmic event Joseph experienced with the birth of his son while at the hospital during CV 19 lockdowns in Luxembourg. Josh and Carries own birth experience with Novah. Britta Bushnell Transformational Birth Course Why he recommends Britta Bushnell's Transformed by Birth course to help parents prepare for the unknown. The heightened intuition both Joseph and Josh felt as their sons' births got nearer and nearer. Nathan Riley, MD, FACOG The OBGYN physician that helped Carrie and Josh immensely with Novah, Dr. Nathan Riley. How modern western medicine has really robbed the birth experience from women and the family. The multi-hundred billion dollar industry that grabs very high-level plasma stem cells from the baby's umbilical cord and placenta. How Joseph and his wife, Emilía, have made peace with Leon's birth experience and they're so grateful to have a healthy son. Why a person's birth experience is often reflective of the life journey that they're going to have in their time on earth. Joseph's mission to be a warrior and protect Leon with all that he has especially with how the birth went for them. [46:30] Growing a Greater Capacity for Love Esther Perel What lessons we can learn from our parents, how their generation is different than ours, and what gifts they gave us while alive for us to pass on to future generations. The Dark Night of the Soul that Joseph went through when his father died in 2017. Why the healing journey all comes down to ourselves and the individual path we go on in life. How Arnold was like a surrogate father figure for Joseph when he seeked out his mentorship. 463 JP Sears | This Is How Media HIJACKS Your Mind: Stop Censoring Yourself & Heal The Tyrant Within The power of breath and being aware of active breathing and moments when it becomes constricted based on the energy we're feeling or what we might have just listened to or read. How Joseph grew a greater capacity for love after the death of his father. What true duality is and why we need to experience the dark to know and understand the light, joy, and how to love. How RUNGA has been created to be a transformational experience to help people grow and achieve greater abundance and step into themselves. [56:15] Joseph's Top Mental + Emotional Tool Sets Why healing and doing the inner work shouldn't be forced and that was an important lesson for Josh to learn when he changed the podcast from Wellness Force to Wellness + Wisdom. Byron Katie's Four Model Questions and why Josh (and others) feel that they push shame on people when used in a general way. Josh's experience at RUNGA and all of the different activities that they did.  Why certain life experiences or moments in life call for one set of wellness tools over another and how to know when to use each one. How detours and blocks pop up when we misinterpret our energy and look too much back into our wounding. Why sometimes we don't need to keep processing a certain energy but go and use it through an activity such as mountaineering in Joseph's case. The incredible biohacking tools and supplements we have available today to help us keep our health in check and beyond yet we're going backwards at the same time. MitoZen 436 Dr. John Lieurance | Melatonin Miracle: Supra-Physiologic Dosing, Sinus Health & Ending Inflammation How sound and stillness will be the next important wellness practices that Joseph believes we will be going back to for healing. Why you need to employ the power of a thunderbolt or sound and vibration when you're going to make a real change in your life. [1:06:00] The Heart is the True Brain The different rites of passage for both men and women and why a vision quest is one way to experience it. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and why it's an incredible tool to keep the body in sync and essentially the true brain. HeartMath's research and how the heart gives off so much more energy than the brain and the communication is from the heart to the brain; not the other way around. The blood pressure wave in the HRV and why it's the reason he believes the three strongest emotions - anger, fear, and sexual energy can switch in a moment. Why Joseph believes that it is attainable to live in joy all of the time despite the duality we live and experience. How HRV is a reflection of our mood and state of being plus why an elevated average is best. The fact that the roof of our mouth has 83 acupuncture points and every sound we make has a frequency. Why so many yogis change their names after years of practice. Joseph's belief that we can check all the boxes and try to follow logic but heart and intuition is the only true path. Why our partners act like a mirror and bring up all the things we need to work on for ourselves. What the neck up approach to loving and dating looks like plus why it's not the same as true intimacy. [1:15:00] Why + How We Choose Our Life Partners How Joseph's wife, Emilía, came into his life to help him do the inner work and in the end he became Joseph Anew. Josh and Carrie's similar relationship story and how they help each other grow. Paleo(Fx) Why Joseph was so sure that he was going to marry Emilía the moment he met her at Paleo(Fx). The idea that maybe we already choose a life partner that levels us up to the point where the things that are hurting us on a subconscious level are going to help us flush those out. Why love isn't always enough; we need to be with someone that will challenge us and make us better. Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives by Michael Newton Why being open and intuitive are so important because people and signs are the map even when things don't make sense. How we're matched up with a life and life experiences based on what we're only able to handle plus learn in this lifetime and the next one. [1:25:00] The Key to Finding Purpose + Gaining Mastery The power of exploration and learning different things in life rather than just zeroing in on one thing and how that fits into the health and wellness journey. How Joseph's return to mountaineering is going to flow over into other areas of his life, especially parenthood. Why curiosity and playfulness is the missing piece in wellness that RUNGA is able to provide participants. The gratitude that Joseph has for all of the lessons he has learned in life that have made him who he is today. What key piece of advice he would give to a 17-year-old who feels lost right now. Joseph's mission to help people transform and uncover their dharma in life. His own experience getting caught up in the whole "I have to go to college and figure out my life now" mindset and why he now wishes he knew at 17 about dharma and life that he does now. How Joseph came to name his event, RUNGA. Why attending these intense yoga classes were like a metaphor for Joseph's life at the time. Deepak Chopra What primordial sound meditation is and why the word, "runga," has an interesting vibration. Joseph's view on wellness and what being well means to him. What it means to him to step out with his new name, Joseph Anew, and how his DNA is literally changing with his new identity. Power Quotes From The Show Coming Back Home to Joy "When we are born, we are abundant. We are joyful, we are happy. The game, the lived experience is us going far from there and coming back. That's the duality, that's the journey." - Joseph Anew Law of Attraction vs Higher Frequency "Between the law of attraction and sending messages on a higher frequency, the approaches are different but it's the same concept. Different approaches cater to different audiences. When you read books like The Secret or Think and Grow Rich, you're very focused on what you want and it's not that you shouldn't get granular even if you're into Dispenza but to me with Dispenza, you're looking for a more broad version of this change. A lot of people are looking for healing for example; not a blue BMW by September 20th, 2025. In my opinion, you want to become the frequency of change to see what's there." - Joseph Anew How to Live Your Own Life "I would tell my 17-year-old self that everything is happening on purpose. Everything in your life is for a purpose. Remember that there is no time or space in dharma, really. Right now your focus is to follow your heart, find your true friends, take good care of your body, be as physically fit as you can be in a reasonable amount of investment, and await further instructions. When we go to college and everyone has to be a doctor or a lawyer or something that pays well, you lose the magic. Everyone has their unique genius, their special gifts. For example, you could be an astronaut if you want to be but you're not supposed to be; you have a different soul contract and purpose for this world." - Joseph Anew Links From Today's Show  Spartan Race Intuitive Warrior Podcast Heartful: Practices to Awaken the Heart BREATHE. | Joe DiStefano | TEDxLugano 375 Bizzie Gold: Break Method | Why Instinct And Intuition Are Not The Same (Rewiring The Subconscious) Paul Chek Joe Dispenza Leonidas I 086 Creating The Unbeatable Mind With Mark Divine 410 Mark Divine | Positive Neurodiversity: Kokoro Spirit, The 5 Mountains For Inner Peace, & How To Fulfill Your Potential Paths to God: Living the Bhagavad Gita by Ram Dass Alan Watts Arnold Patent Eckhart Tolle Tony Robbins Britta Bushnell Transformational Birth Course Nathan Riley, MD, FACOG Esther Perel 463 JP Sears | This Is How Media HIJACKS Your Mind: Stop Censoring Yourself & Heal The Tyrant Within MitoZen 436 Dr. John Lieurance | Melatonin Miracle: Supra-Physiologic Dosing, Sinus Health & Ending Inflammation Paleo(Fx) Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives by Michael Newton Deepak Chopra Shop the Wellness Force Store breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Joseph Anew Facebook Instagram LinkedIn RUNGA Facebook Instagram LinkedIn About Joseph Anew Joseph Anew is an international speaker, fitness expert, entrepreneur and lifestyle coach.

This is a rebroadcast of an interview I did on the Wondersoul Show with my friend, Skip Kelly. In this conversation we talk about money, fatherhood, breathwork, growing a legendary podcast, and building your dream life. But a lot of what we explore on this is a pathway and a guidance point moving towards the direction of our dreams; of what we actually care about. How do we find that childlike joy? How do we live a life of purpose? How do we move through the things that happen for us that are super challenging and not lose our enthusiasm? I think you're really going to love this episode.

I really do believe that we do have all of the answers within us if we allow the space, more of the feminine energy to come in, and welcome more of the quietness. So, seeing the space in between is really beautiful. It's like where time collapses because time is this funny, human concept but everything just slows down and you can process everything that's within you in the moment. - Dr. Jin Ong Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy. PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

Questions people have about catharsis and why some people feel uncomfortable about the release. Why she's moving away from the title of cathartic release practitioner and calling herself a psychosomatic therapist and emotional anatomy practitioner.

How she helps clients find out which emotions have been stored in their bodies and how to release them. Explaining where exactly the voice of our body comes from within ourselves. How we can better tune inwards when we allow the feminine voice within to come forward by spending time alone in a quiet area. Why verbal dialect is so important for releasing trapped emotions because of the vibration and frequency it carries. [14:15] The Importance of Both Our Masculine + Feminine Energies How the masculine + hustle and bustle energy in this world is causing so many people to create sideways energy from within. We shouldn't label masculine or feminine energy as good or bad because we need both. The cause of why so many people end up focusing more on being in their masculine rather than feminine selves plus the imbalance that creates within. How the masculine energy helped lead Dr. Jin to where she is now with her career. Why the feminine energy allows us to become our fully embodied selves.

The fact that all of the hives on her body were all over her joint lines and why that was significant to help her heal. How she uses her skin as a barometer to know when she is out of alignment. [25:00] Developing the Courage to Say, 'No' Breaking down why we struggle as a society to have the courage to say, 'No,' and set up healthy boundaries for our time and energy. The work she does to constantly teach and remind her clients how to say, 'No,' and that it's a full sentence - they don't have to explain why they're denying a request. Why it can be triggering to set healthy boundaries and that's why you have to know yourself so well including your values so that you can stay grounded in your decisions. Her journey of healing from being a constant high perfectionist with her Asian heritage and background. How parents can help their children heal and learn good behaviors by being good role models for them.

Viktor Frankl What the four milestones are that she sees her clients go through and how she breaks down each one. How being attentive and present to our emotions and triggers are the first steps for healing them.

[41:50] Healing Traumatic Birthing Experiences The importance of counselors and coaches learning how to ask their clients better questions. Questions Dr. Jin asks her clients to help them explore their minds and tap into their body wisdom.

The beauty of being in an open environment where you can openly share. Unpacking why we sometimes seek permission to share our feelings or experiences. Why exploring uncomfortable topics is so important for the healing process and not welcoming that can halt discovery for months or years. The birth experience Josh and Carrie had for Novah and why things didn't work out as they had planned. How a traumatic or emergency birth experience or having the umbilical cord wrapped around their neck can impact people later on in life. Why Dr. Jin believes it's key for parents to have not only a birth plan in mind but some flexibility and adaptability as well to help their experience in advance.

Carrie and Josh's personal experience feeling pressure from others in the Free Birth movement when deciding on how to bring Novah into the world. Why no woman should feel shame for having a C-Section or seeking out medical attention if and when they need it. How dogmatic camps and beliefs can shift so quickly when the tables are turned. Why we can experience karma when we have very high expectations for something like a birth. The powerful fact that it's never too late to do the work, before or after you become a parent. How we can go so deeply into a masculine mode when not just raising a child but also essentially keeping it alive. Why Josh believes that some people from the Free Birth movement are indeed doing beautiful work helping women such as the organization, Indie Birth. Indie Birth [58:10] Emotional Intelligence Training for Men: During Partner's Pregnancy + Post-Partum Josh's disappointment in one of the popular Free Birth organizations for not providing any resources or support for fathers in the natural birthing process. Exploring different emotional training tools for men to help them support their partner during their pregnancy and post-partum experiences. Why women can have a traumatic birthing experience when they don't feel that they're receiving the support they need from their partner. How Dr. Jin's partner was present with her during the pregnancy by doing things together like meditation or reading the same books. What hypnobirthing is and why she recommends other couples read up about it as well.

How to shift your mindset from "Why is this happening to me," to "Why is this happening for me." What wellness and living your life well means to Dr. Jin with all of her life and work experience. Power Quotes From The Show Have You Forgotten to Trust Your Heart? "Upbringing, conditioning, belief systems, the business of the masculine world, and getting stuck in the logical mind rather than trusting your heart block the body's voice from being heard. That is why having conversations with our younger selves is so important to help you come back home to yourself. In our pain, we often don't believe that it can get any better but yes; when have those deep, darker times it can make the high stuff feel even higher." - Dr. Jin Ong The Many Layers of Our Soul "I want people to know that there are so many layers to who they are. You ask one question and there are so many different perspectives and layers. Be and stay curious on your wellness path. There will be people who want to shut you down and stop you from growing but someone out there is going to be your support and help answer your questions to open up this wellness pathway even wider for you. Come back to that deeper inner trust and your intuition but communicate; use your voice if you're able to do so." - Dr. Jin Ong Dr. Jin Ong: Our Darkest Corners Hold the Greatest Lessons "So many people are under this illusion that when you connect with your purpose that your life is just going to flow and be free of challenges but that's not true. Instead, you learn to embrace the challenges and know and trust that there is a lesson in each one that will help you grow. I believe that we have these recurring things that happen and they can play out in our intimate relationships, our family, and at the workplace in different shapes, ways, and forms because there is a lesson there that we are yet to recognize. So, if we're willing to go in deep and be aware and get curious about our triggers, there definitely are deeper lessons that are linked to the interaction and reaction." - Dr. Jin Ong Links From Today's Show  The Art of Listening to Your Body Podcast with Dr. Jin Ong The Space Inbetween episode - The Art of Listening to Your Body Podcast Viktor Frankl 311 Mark Wolynn | It Didn’t Start With You: Ending The Cycle of Inherited Trauma 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma: The Thoughts, Feelings, Patterns & Behaviors Formed Before You Were Ever Born The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Peter Levine Indie Birth Hypnobirthing: A Natural Approach To A Safe, Easier, More Comfortable Birthing by Marie Mongan MEd MHy How Your Doshas Change Through Life And A Secret To Health Two Phases Of Discomfort Is Catharsis Fragmenting?

Jin Ong is a professionally trained as an osteopath, psychosomatic therapist, western medical acupuncturist and herbalist living in the beautiful lakeside town of Wanaka, New Zealand. Having treated thousands of clients in her clinics, she soon became fed-up treating with her clinical skills alone. She wasn’t seeing the results she’d hoped for. Deep down, she knew her client’s pain (not only physical) was a manifestation of their emotional state. They were dealing with hidden trauma and stress they’d never spoken about, which impacted the ability of their physical and emotional body to heal. Their body was speaking to them, but they weren’t listening. They had an emotional disconnect. How Dr. Jin Ong Helps People Heal Based on a client’s pain, injury, mental imbalance or behavioural dysfunction, Jin tapped into her intuition and started interpreting the deeper emotional issues at play. Not only could she bring awareness to the issues her clients were previously unaware of, she started facilitating her clients through a process to help them release these stored emotions to truly liberate them of their pain physically and mentally. After a pandemic hit and her clinics had to shut down, fear drove her to do what she was really passionate about. To train other therapists in her methods and processes as well as work with people all around the world at a deeper level to create profound shifts in their life and realign them with their soul purpose. She loves to dig deep, speak about the unspoken, and help people process unresolved emotions that hold them back from living the life they truly want.

This is Josh Trent. This is the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast. This is a very special solocast. It's something I've been ruminating on for a long time. I wanna know if you can relate. Do you ever feel like there's a tyrant inside of your mind, a tyrant who bullies you, talks down to you, and it makes you feel like shit? If so, let me know. In the comments, what is your biggest narrative? When it comes to the tyrant inside of you today, I'm gonna give you some big tools, some big rocks that I'll break down with mindfulness and with care. So that by the end of this podcast, you're gonna leave with less created self-stress. So you can show up for life, more powerful, less controllable, and somebody who embodies more courage and more peace. Let's start here. [1:00] Where is Your Tyrant Narrative Guiding You? We have narratives in our mind. We always have these narratives that either guide us toward love or guide us towards hate. Now, the reason is, that we're half beast, half spirit, we're a biological being, but we're also a spirit inside that being, having a spiritual experience. So inside of our brain, there is a default mode network. We're gonna go into this later on in the video, I'm gonna share with you how conscious breath awareness can actually turn down the volume of your default mode network. And I'm gonna tell you what the default is, and I'm gonna tell you what the default mode network actually is and why it's so important to your emotional intelligence and your piece. I'll give you another big tool. That's called Emotional Intelligence Squared. This is something that I've been working on for an upcoming book. We'll talk about CCI, which is Curious Compassionate Inquiry, and why these are the ways that all of us can get down to what I call the lens of the kaleidoscope, the kaleidoscope that's connected to our head, our heart and our soul. [1:56] Learning To Love The Tyrant Inside - Let's Get Started So we can make great decisions and not just be in our head all the time. Let me know if you can relate to this, you ever find yourself in your head and it's been days or weeks or maybe a month or more where you've actually felt your stomach felt your breath? I'll talk about how to get out of the mind and into the body. So you can make decisions from this alignment of the kaleidoscope. And lastly, we'll talk about the five sides of the Wellness Pentagon, something we've been going into depth on for Wellness + Wisdom, but it's the mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial ways that we all nourish ourselves. So we can show up in life with more peace and with more courage and be less controllable, especially what's going on in the war, for our minds and our souls on social media. So let's dig in. If you're the kind of person who has the narrative in your mind, that sometimes makes you feel like garbage, take a deep breath to your nose, fill your belly, and let it go through your mouth. [2:52] Understanding the Default Mode Network Let's begin. The default mode network is a structure in the brain that is the prefrontal cortex, the posterior singulate and the amygdala. Now, these are three big ancient structures. There are many more inside of the default mode network. But the key that we have to understand about the default mode network is it's most active when we're at rest. Now, why is that? If the default mode network, which is essentially the thing that's scanning for danger, the thing that remembers when you've been through pain, when you've been hurt or back in the day, if you're a cave person being chased by a tiger, it's probably a good thing to know. So I'm not here to demonize any structure of the brain or any structure of biology. What I'm saying is we have to be aware that these ancient structures don't necessarily apply anymore. Like they used to. So when we get this activation of the default mode network, it puts us in what's called a fight or flight state. It pulls us out of the present moment. It makes our respiration decrease. It makes our heart rate increase and it makes our stress hormones increase. [4:03] Understanding Our Fear Response We have structures near our kidneys called cortisol. We have structures near our kidneys called adrenal glands, which release cortisol. This is exactly what happens when we are in two places. One is anxiety, which is fear of the future fear of not being able to handle it, not being enough or one is depression rumination of the past, beating yourself up for what didn't happen, depending on your level of integration of trauma or stress, or just things that have occurred for you in life. You are going to have either a high volume or a low volume of the default mode network. Now here's where it gets awesome. One of the reasons that I use breathwork in my own life and for the thousand plus students that are in our BREATHE: Breath and Wellness program at breathwork.io is because when you use conscious respiration when you are actually having conscious breath awareness, you can scientifically and somatically turn down the volume radically of that default mode network. [4:30] Active vs Resting Brain Here's why it's active when our brain is at rest. When our brain is at rest, we also want to be engaged in loving activities or a flow state, but we get pulled out of it because of this rumination or this anxiety. So when we start doing circular breathing, and I'm gonna talk about some more of these tools, when we get to the Wellness Pentagon section in this solocast, when we're experiencing anxiety, we have a shortness of breath. When we're experiencing depression, we have a compression of breath. We don't have as much volume in our breath. So the best way to do this, which I talk about in our program and that you and I are gonna do right now to turn down the volume of this tyrant, which is really attached to the default mode network. We do it like this. We breathe in through our nose. We breathe out through our mouth three times without any pauses. So it looks and feels just like this. [5:00] If I Can Breathe, I Can Choose I like to continue to do that up until about 21-30 times, somewhere in between. You'll notice that when you're breathing like a circle, and also when you breathe like a box, we'll talk about this later, your mind is at rest over the course of time. The more that you do this practice, this circular practice with no pausing at the top or the bottom, you will scientifically and somatically turn down the volume of your default mode network. And when the volume is turned down, this is the most amazing thing. When the volume of your default mode network is turned down, you can show up more, present, and more loving. It's on my arm in Italian. I've talked about this many times, "se posso respirare posso scegliere," which means, "If I can breathe, I can choose." I myself fought depression, anxiety for a long time coming from my own familial situation, my own trauma. [5:49] The Anchor of Your Breath And I found that, you know, I did plant medicines and I did lots of other things and conferences. And you fell on the gamut. I mean, I did lots of things, but it was my breath. It was the anchor of my breath. It was seeking me out the entire time. And that is why I believe that conscious breath awareness is what we all need to learn right now. And that is what is going to turn down. All those structures, turn down the volume of the default mode network and allow you to unlock some peace. When you have peace, you're able to build more courage. This is the key. When you're peaceful, you're more courageous or when you're more courageous, you're more peaceful. It's the chicken or the egg. That's a big concept. I'm gonna link a resource right here to three different podcasts that I've done about the default mode network, about how our breath works. So you can dig in more. Let's move on. We're gonna talk about emotional intelligence squared or my EI2 process. [6:46] Josh's Vision Quest Experience So this came to me earlier this year after I did a vision quest. If you haven't done a vision quest, it can be incredibly transformational. Once you have a foundation of conscious breath, awareness and self-inquiry, and the Wellness Pentagon, the three things that I'm gonna give you in this solocast, but beyond just a deep dive into my soul, what I really felt from God's wisdom, nature's wisdom in nature. When I was fasting for four days with just water is I felt this compassionate inquiry. I really knew that everything I've ever wanted was inside of myself. And it's inside of you too. We're all just trained by society and the media. And unfortunately, our parents, who were trained by our grandparents, that we don't have the answers, but we actually do. The EI2 process is where we align the thoughts that we're thinking in our head, the feelings that we're feeling in our heart, which direct us to the energy in motion, the emotions that we're experiencing, and our intuitive faculty to connect with soul, to connect with God. [7:47] Your Guiding Kaleidoscope: Better Understand the Tyrant Within So head, heart, and soul make up what I believe is the kaleidoscope, the lens of awareness that we all have, but we have to, to cultivate the vision, to see through it. Here's how we do it. You take a piece of scratch paper or a journal. And on the left side of the page, you're gonna write down 10 things that you truly know are causing you pain. So go ahead and do that right now. Pause this podcast, pause this video, grab a journal, grab a piece of paper, grab a pen. Or if you want to, you can do it on an Evernote or a digital journal. So do this right now. This is truly going to be a starting place for you to relieve the narrative of the dogma and the torture of this tyrant that lives inside of all of us. And really we're gonna learn today how we can love it. [8:33] What Are You Grateful For? So write down those 10 things. Now that you've done that draw a line down the center and on the right side of the page, write down 10 things that you really, really love. And on the right side of the page, write down 10 things that you truly love. Things that fill your body with gratitude, things that you actually experience on a very deep level. Don't just be like, oh, I like food, I'm grateful for my food. Like things that you are, unless you really are, things that you are really, really, really grateful for things that you feel. Maybe it's holding your son, your daughter, your partner...your friends, something exciting. Maybe you love to paint. Write that down, take a big breath, let it go. Make sure your phone is off. Make sure you have no distractions. And I want you to circle the one on the left.. [9:21] Paralysis by Analysis ...that's causing you the most pain and you know what it is. Sometimes we get in this paralysis by analysis and it actually is a figment of the ego that keeps us stuck by being so overwhelmed or confused that we can't move forward on the one thing that we know is causing us the most pain. Now, here's why we did the 10 on the other side. So from that list of 10, that you're most grateful for, circle the one that you know is the most energetically aligned with your heart. The one that feels the best when you tune into it, you love it the most, maybe it's like your wife or your son or your daughter. I'm not here. Or your husband. I'm not here to tell you what that is, only you know what that is. So you've done the exercise. You've begun this emotional inventory in the emotional intelligence squared process. [10:15] Sharing Your Journey with Someone You Trust The EI2 you've began by doing the emotional inventory. So, you have your paper. You've circled the two, be honest with yourself because the next step is actually the most challenging. And the most liberating. You reach out to someone, maybe it's a coach, maybe it's somebody in the Wellness + Wisdom community. Maybe it's somebody in your community and you call a friend, someone that you trust and you tell them, "Hey, I've done a process and I'm changing my life. And I wanna share something with you. Can I share?" Now to the degree they give you back a response that's trustable, share with them, but do not share - This is a big key. Do not share your inventory process with somebody that, you know, secretly may not support your highest dreams, may not support your highest goals. So, be careful who you share this with, and then you share with them, "Hey, what's causing me... [10:55] What Are You Committed to Changing? ...the most stress is my current work what's causing me. The most pain is at my current work. I know that I'm destined for more. I know that I can make more money, whatever it is, or maybe it's a relationship you're in or health or finances, one of those big ones. And then you actually share to that person, this is what I'm committed to changing." And you put a date on it by when I'm gonna change it. By this point on this day, it's so empowering. And here's the key. You tell that person, "And I'm doing this because I may not have the biggest, I may not have the biggest amount of love for myself right now, or I love myself enough right now to change this..." Whatever your degree of self-love is, you talk to the person who you're sharing with about the thing that you love, the most, the thing that's gonna be worth it for you when times get hard. [11:37] Curious Compassionate Inquiry And when you're confronted with your ego and when you're confronted with the things that are not making you change, I know you can feel this. It's like palpable - in order to change and let go of something that's hurting you. That scares you. You have to have the fuel from something that you love. Otherwise, what's the point.? What's the point of changing? What's the point of evolving if you're not connected to someone or something that you truly love? And then from that place, you have taken away the first part, the most important part of this EI2 process. The next part of the EI2 process is where you look at the people in your life that are triggering you the most, the experiences of your life that are triggering you the most and just your general way of being. So the way that this works is now that you've done the first part, you can move on to stage two. And in stage two, you're gonna ask yourself five big questions. In other words, five wise deep, and you do this through the CCI process. The CCI is Curious Compassionate Inquiry. Now, if I'm having an experience, like let's say for an example, that my partner is triggering me... [12:37] Healing Our Triggers & Calming the Tyrant Within For an example, a traditional one is where somebody leaves their clothes all over the floor, right? And so just in this example, we'll say, "God, my wife left her clothes all the floor. Again! What in the hell is wrong with her?" You notice that response that you and I get, or that any of us get when we're triggered by a partner, when we're triggered by life, when we're triggered by an event. Obviously that is something that comes from the mind. The mind is making up a story. And so here's how we go five wise, deep. And by the way, you can apply this to anything, right? It could be capital "T" trauma. It could be lowercase "t" trauma, or it could just be an event that's occurring for you in life. The first thing that you do, and you do the same thing where you grab a piece of paper and you actually script this out. [13:22] Really Get Curious About Your Inner Tyrant! So you've already done the first part with the EI2 process where you did the 10 and 10 circled each one and told a friend, and that was putting you in the momentum of this next stage. And this is a thing you can do at any time. You can do this 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 times a day in the beginning, and you might have to, and that's okay. But the first thing that you write down on your page is what am I thinking? What am I thinking? And remember, you're gonna be compassionate to yourself. This is the CCI. So it's curious, compassionate inquiry. Be curious right now - don't run right to the answer. Just write it down. What am I thinking? I'm thinking that I hate it when my partner leaves the socks on the floor. I hate it.when my partner does this. What are the thoughts that are running through my mind about this person's circumstance or experience or situation? [14:12] Are Your Tyrant Thoughts True? Write it down, "What is the story that my mind is telling me?" Um, my mind is telling me a story of (I'm writing it down with you right now.): My partner doesn't actually care about me and they're lazy and they don't care about my feelings and they know it pisses me off. And this totally sucks. And you know what? This is a deal breaker. I hate this. That's really good to get out. Then the next question you ask is, "Am I reliving the past?" So maybe in another relationship, you had somebody that left socks or clothes on the floor and that was one of the reasons why the relationship didn't work out. Keep being curious here, keep being compassionate in your inquiry. And then the last one is, "Am I projecting into the future?" Maybe when I write that down, I'm feeling like they're never gonna change. Next week... [14:59] Unpacking All of Your Tyrant Stories ...it's gonna be the same thing and keep going until it doesn't hurt anymore. Keep going. You can go five. You can go 10, but make sure you ask those exact questions in that order so that you get to the bottom of it all, where you just realize this has nothing to do with my partner. This has everything to do with the experience inside of me. And when I really tune in to this kaleidoscope lens, through this compassionate inquiry, through this CCI, I can start to make decisions from a solid beam, a solid column inside of me. And that is the emotional intelligence squared. Now that you've done the CCI, you know what your mind is thinking, you know, all the stories, you know, all the fabrications, you know all the bullshit. Now go to your heart. What is your heart feeling? [15:51] What Is Your Heart Feeling? Your heart is feeling sad. Your heart is feeling sad. It's directing you to grief, the emotion of grief. Maybe it's directing you to the emotion of despair, whatever it is, write that down. You know what your thoughts are thinking, cause you just did that. And now go to your soul, close your eyes, take a deep breath. And I want you to visualize all those thoughts that are running in your head. All the feelings, all the emotion that your heart is truly feeling. The thing that maybe you don't wanna share, cause it's really vulnerable. And then I want you to connect with God. I want you to connect with your soul and feel your soul, giving you a lesson, giving you something that you know is for your greatest good. So, let's do this process. In my mind I just did the CCI, the inquiry. "I know my partner loves me, but God, it pisses me off. It reminds me of my last relationship and it makes me feel like they don't love me." [16:49] Listening to Your Heart's Wisdom Now, go to the heart. When I don't feel loved, I feel alone. When I feel alone, I feel like someone might abandon me. Huh? There's wisdom. There. There's a deeper emotion there. Keep going. It's not about just the socks on the floor. Just the laundry on the floor. It's about the emotion, the subconscious emotion that is being experienced from the thoughts that are narrating by the tyrant. And then go a little bit deeper. Now go to this experience with God, with soul and tune in and understand that this event is neutral. Your partner is not on purpose, trying to be mean to you or trying to hurt you. Even if they are - now, this is your experience to go to them with the head, the heart and the soul and give them a realistic understanding of what's happening inside of you. [17:43] How to Share with Your Partner And you do it by non-violent communication. Here's how, "Hey babe, I just did my inquiry. And I noticed earlier this morning, the socks were on the floor again. And my mind was telling me all these stories like you don't care about me. You don't love me or you're lazy. And it was really intense. I mean, the thoughts I were having were projecting me into the future and making me ruminate about the past. But really what I wanna share with you is that when I see the laundry on the floor, it makes me feel sad. It makes me have an experience that I'm not loved. And when I'm not loved, I might be abandoned. And it's super vulnerable for me to share with this. And it's super vulnerable for me to share this with you right now, but that's the truth. I know that this is happening because my soul is telling me that this is a way that you and I can get deeper..." [18:29] Emotional Intelligence Squared "...and this is a way that you and I can be closer together. So can you do me a favor please from now on just pick up your laundry on the floor." Now, can you imagine if you gave your partner that type of inquiry? Oh my gosh. Way different than, "Pick up your fucking socks!" Right? The way that we experience ourselves and the way that we articulate our experience is everything. It is truly everything. Try this on for size today, tomorrow, this week. I hope you've enjoyed this section two and really gotten something from this EI2 process, emotional intelligence squared, where you did the first part, where you wrote down the 10 and 10, you circled them. You shared, and you took action on a specific date. Then you went through a process of CCI, curious, compassionate inquiry, where you went at least five wise deep, and you recorded everything. [18:55] Power from Peace and Courage And then you actually shared, you took it upon yourself to align in this third portion of the EI2 process. You aligned your thoughts, your head, your heart, and your soul. And then you shared, then you came with the wisdom. Then you came with the courage. Then you came with the peace. And that is powerful. When you have power from peace and courage, that can be trusted, but brute force power. When you're just yelling at your partner, it's just not integration. It's just not emotional integration. And there's no shame to this because the tyrant is very loud. Let's go to the third part of our video today of this solocast. [19:29] The Wellness Pentagon And this is the five sides of the Wellness Pentagon. So in this last portion of the cast, we're gonna talk about the mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial ways that we nourish ourself so that our nervous system, our biology can actually hold the load of doing the EI2 process and of understanding what this tyrant is actually telling us. In other words, if our conduit is dirty, if our physicality is loaded, if we're stressed out, if we're underslept, if we ourselves are over-stressed, it's going to be really challenging. Let alone, I think even impossible to love the tyrant inside of yourself, by doing this compassionate inquiry, by having curiosity. So let's begin. [20:02] The Power of Box Breathing The first aspect is the mind. The mind obviously feeds itself on thoughts. So if we want to calm down the mind, if we want to let the mind lose some weight, maybe the mind is obese. We have to give it a stimuli to do so. And so what we do is we do a conscious connected. And so we employ box breathing. Box breathing is powerful. It is what I learned from Mark Divine. It is what I've also seen Navy special warfare do before they go out into battle. It feels the same for you and I, whether we're with our spouse or in life or in battle, it's all the same. Box breathing is known to not just pull us over to the parasympathetic side of the nervous system, but also it's known to decrease cortisol, decrease stress hormones. And this is really key. When you're doing box breathing, I'm gonna show you how to do it. You're focused on your breath. That's all you're focused on. How to do Box Breathing When you're focused on your breath, you can start to bring in a calming mantra. My mantra is "I am loved. I am supported. I am on the right path." So let's do two rounds of the five-count box breathing to satisfy this mental construct that is wanting more, wanting more, but really it just wants a deep breath. Inhale for five through your nose. Fill your belly. Hold for five Exhale for five Hold for five Inhale nose for five Hold for five Exhale for five Hold for five [21:53] Grounding Ourselves Through the Breath Now imagine if you did that 10 times, 10 times, if you did a five count box breath, you are going to bring yourself to a place that is totally at peace and totally calm. And you can do this for free anywhere, anytime. We also go into depth. So you can use not just the box breath, but also the circular breath and many different things for your nervous system, to clear your stress with your breath. That's at breathwork.io. And by the way, if you're here on this video, you can just use this discount code. I give it to my friends, my family, or people like us who are interested in calming down our nervous system and that's PODCAST25. So you can get that at breathwork.io, just enter the code PODCAST25. So with this mental construct, calm down, we can bring in that mantra. [22:40] The Physical | Wellness Pentagon I've done my box breathing. I bring in the mantra that says, "I am loved. I am supported. I am on the right path." Now you can bring yourself to the physical. This is the next part of the Wellness Pentagon. The physical is so important because obviously, you know that it's important for you to move. So choose whatever you'd like. I'm not here to tell you how to work out or train. Get sweaty first. You can also do the sauna. In the sauna, there's very special heat shock proteins that are released by your body. These build emotional resilience, they're called hormetic stress or hormesis. Very fascinating. I'll leave a link right here in the show notes below this video. So you can learn more about hormesis, but we also get something from cold as well. And so as we're nourishing this physical lens, this physical part of our Pentagon, it's important to know that after your movement or your sauna, if you go right to the cold plunge, not only are you getting the heat shock proteins from the heats, which give you more immune response and give you better health... [23:38] Cold Plunge Benefits to Keep the Tyrant at Bay But now you're gonna get the cold shock proteins from the cold. I like the brand, Plunge. You can go to joshtrent.com/plunge. With the code, "WELLNESSFORCE" you get 150 bucks off a Plunge unit, which is amazing. Then when you're doing this and when you do the cold and the hot and you cycle that one, maybe even two times, I promise you, now that you've done the mental calming, you've done the physical calming. Now you're ready for the emotional. See people jump right to the emotional. They try to get their charge outta their body without getting their body to let go of the charge. You see the difference. It's like one of 'em is push. One of 'em is pull. So now that you've pulled the things out, that no longer serve you by doing your box breathing, your physicality. Now you can go to the emotional process. We can do a two part breath. We can also just go into another CCI. The curious, compassionate inquiry. [24:32] Two Part Breath & Strike Pose The two part breath looks and feels just like this. You can do it nasally. Or if you want to have the two part breath looks just like this. Notice. I have my hand on my heart. I have my hand on my stomach. That's allowing you to get that cry response. A lot of times, remember when you're a little kid or just people that cry, cause crying's normal. When you cry, you go like this, right? The two part breath is so powerful for letting go of emotions. And also you can do what's called a strike pose. So you get on the ground with, with your knee about shoulder width apart and you take your hands, just like this so that your fingers are together and the palms of your hands are down and you strike, you, put your hands over your head and you strike the pillow with a full body motion up and down. So that you're actually getting rid of the energy, getting rid of the anger that you may have in your system. [25:12] Getting Rid of Energy in Motion One of the best ways that you can nourish your emotional self is yes, doing the EI2 process going deep into what's happening for you, the head, the heart, the soul, but also sometimes we can be so overwhelmed by what's happening for us emotionally that we have to get the energy in motion out. We have to just get the energy out of our body. So yes, you can do the two part breath. You can do that. Just like I showed you for three minutes or five minutes and just allow what comes out to come out. Or if you're feeling really intense, you can go into that strike post. That is a big one. We talk about many of these things in the BREATHE program. Again, I've already given you the discount it's at breathwork.io (PODCAST25). [26:01] Centering After an Emotional Release with MitoZen I like to stack my breathwork with the tool from Mito Zen. This is Dr. John Lieurance's company and this has oxytocin and hoppe in it. So a lot of times after I do a big purge or release, I'll relax with this nasal spray. It is so powerful. I actually use it for breathwork practices as well, but you can get this joshtrent.com/mitozen. There's a code "WELLNESSFORCE." You get 10% off. The reason I like it the most is because after I've had the release, it helps me to reset. It helps me to actually be more in my center so I can calm down. And it actually gives me a little bit of a high. Now it's not the kind of high like psychedelics, but it is absolutely powerful. I totally recommend it. It is my go-to for emotional intelligence and for emotional release. [27:00] Cleaning Our Spiritual Lens +Understanding the Tyrant Within The next is our spiritual lens. So now that we've gone through the physical, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual is where we actually connect with that part of our soul. That part that connects to God. And we do that through either reading some type of scripture, doesn't have to be the Bible - I'm not a religious man - or some type of intelligence that you know is godlike or angelic. Maybe you could just do a dedicated prayer or a loving kindness meditation. This is a big one because when you sit still and want to put your hand on your heart and your stomach, maybe you just sit and do a loving kindness meditation. You just allow thoughts to come up that aren't loving and you let them go. When you do this, you actually start getting information from the collective, from the ether, whether you're scientific or spiritual, you know that there's lots of things out there that you don't understand and whatever created us all, whatever's gonna give you that spiritual connection because without spirit, you can't do anything. [28:00] Tools for Greater Spiritual Connection Whatever's gonna give you that spiritual connection. You can find that by being still. One of the ways I love to be still is this Feel Free product (40% off with code "WELLNESS40"). It's a plant tonic. It's got really beautiful adaptogens in it. One of them is kava so it relaxes you. It also gives you a focused euphoria and I've found that after I've cleared my physicality after I've done my breathwork after I've purged emotionally when I really want to connect to my myself, the God in me and the God outside of me, I love, love, love to use this Feel Free. It's one of my most favorite tools, actually the Mito Zen spray and the Feel Free are like every single day. Actually, that's not true. The spray is more like three times a week. I don't do the spray every day, but the feel free is my go-to for connecting with the deeper parts of myself. So I can have that focused euphoria. And also you don't need this. You don't need the Feel Free to connect with God. I'm not sitting here saying you must have any of these tools. They just have helped me a lot more so I thought I'd share. [29:07] Build Greater Financial Health And the last one is financial. Many of us experience this anxiety about finances or depression from our epigenetics about finances. We can shift the story. And I know this. I came from welfare, I've been $75,000 in debt myself. I've had quite the money story. And here's what you do to fill your financial self. You ask yourself who do I know that I feel is wealthy and that has a life that I love? Who do I know that's wealthy and has a life that I love? Add your time for them. Add your time as value for them. So you might take an inventory of your phone or all the people in your community. And you might go to someone who's a mentor or somebody that you really think is doing both. Has a great life, has a life that you would love and has has wealth. And you ask them, "Hey, would you mind? I'm actually like in a process right now where I'm growing my own intelligence. I'm moving forward in my life. And I'm honestly sick of being poor. I'm done with the anxiety and depression that comes with being poor. And with being financially strapped, would you be able to allow me to volunteer for you?" And don't be surprised if they say, "No," it's okay. You can have maybe 10.  I guarantee you. If you ask 10 people, one of them is gonna say, "Yes," and you can just share with them. Your goal is to share with them, your dreams and let them know you'd love to volunteer. [29:32] The Beauty of Volunteering Your Heart Energy This is key. There's something so reciprocal about volunteering your heart energy, which is the most incredible thing connected to your time, which is a gift that time can never be replaced. So when you offer your time and you offer your heart to someone that is wealthy and also has a life that you feel like you would love, you can tell that they are embodying love in their life. That is gonna bring you closer to you saving money, you becoming more wealthy and get excited. Get excited about growing your own wealth regardless of your external circumstances. Now we just filled all the five sides of your Wellness Pentagon. You should feel incredibly nourished. Watch this entire video again, write down all of your notes. [31:18] Getting Closer to Your Wellness Goals You can also go to joshtrent.com/464. That's where everything here is laid out for you. All the discounts, all the resources, the BREATHE program, and everything we've talked about today. From my heart to yours, if anything, you moved 1% closer to being more emotionally intelligent by turning down the volume of this default mode network and giving this tyrant an outlet that lives inside of you. It's not about beating up the tyrant. It's not about being a tyrant. It's about recognizing that inside of me, inside of you, inside of us, there is always a tyrant cause to be human is to be a tyrant, to be on the path of emotional integration is to sometimes find that you need to love the tyrant inside of yourself. I know for me, this came on full strength recently in the vision quest. [31:55] How Do You Live Your Life Well? And if you're like me, you're on this path of constantly learning about yourself and constantly reflecting about, "How do I live my life well?" How do I be the person I know that I'm capable of? How do I step into my potential? And these are not terms that Tony Robbins speaks on a stage. These are feelings and experiences that you and I are feeling probably right now. Otherwise, you wouldn't be watching this video or listening to this podcast. So again, joshtrent.com/464. It is my wish. It is my desire that from this solocast, you have been able to get rid of the self-created stress so you can live better. You can have more courage. You can have more peace or vice versa.

Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy. PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.
