Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 736 Is your attachment style secretly directing every move you make in a relationship, from how quickly you run away to how desperately you cling? Silvy Khoucasian joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 736, to share how our nervous system, childhood attachments, and self-imposed boundaries can either block or build authentic love, why some red flags can be transformed into healthy agreements how to break old patterns and self-regulate more effectively, and what it takes to begin creating fulfilling relationships based on curiosity, vulnerability, and mutual respect. "Even red flags can become yellow flags or green flags if you work on creating agreements to prioritize the safe relationship.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show There's Too Much Pressure on Romantic Love "There's never been more pressure on romantic love. We used to look to God and spirituality for our connection to those places and now we look to creating that in conscious relationships. We rely a little too much on relationship for that feeling of aliveness, but do we actually have that aliveness in other parts of our lives?" - Silvy Khoucasian Women's Emotions Are Not Men's Responsibility "Having a man that just has tolerate anything and just be this rock and hold the space and just receive, that's not even healthy for her. That's not going to keep her in integrity with herself. Being able to witness the range of emotion is important on both sides, but not from a place of where you could just spew out any words and stories and assumptions that comes out with that. That's actually a boundary violation." - Silvy Khoucasian Move Towards Safety "You have to look for signs that your relationship is moving in the direction of healing, more safety, and more connection. And it doesn't mean you're not going to have those struggles. You are. But how do you learn from those things? And do you have a partner who's willing to co-create that safety together? And sometimes it's us that's contributing to that lack of safety. Can we be really honest about that?" - Silvy Khoucasian Links From Today's Show  Silvy Khoucasian 548 Dr. Stan Tatkin | Healing Toxic Relationships: What’s The Bite That Fits Each Other’s Wounds?

"The only animal on this planet that sleep deprives itself on purpose is us. It makes evolutionary sense that our brains perceive lack of sleep as famine or threat because there's some kind of stressor going on. That is why people who don't sleep well or don't sleep enough have higher amygdala tone and higher stress hormones." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Benefits of Sleep "It takes 8 hours to recover from being awake for 16 hours. The benefit of sleep is the hormone production, the repair, the acceleration of your immune system, the consolidation of memories, the categorization of emotional events." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Your Brain Creates Waste Products "When you go to sleep, the neurons that hold the structure of the brain contract about 30% and they create little channels for the cerebral spinal fluid to flow through. There are ways for it to clear and get outside of the blood brain barrier and get rid of your waste products. If you don't clear that, it's toxic. It's a waste product. It'd be like if you leave feces in your living room, you don't get rid of it, it's toxic. And what happens is that your brain or your body attacks it. It's like a foreign object.

We ALL have things we may feel inclined to hide from, but that only keeps us stuck within our self-imposed limitations.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 732 Have you ever wondered if the dream you’re chasing is really yours? Anne-Laure Le Cunff joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 732, to share how to stop living someone else's life by removing unconscious scripts, the key to living an authentic life, and how embracing liminal spaces, questioning societal scripts, and running tiny experiments can free us from the pressure of finding our purpose. "We always think that we're following our own definition of success, but it's just amazing how many of our scripts are copy-pasted from other people. And not wanting to disappoint your parents is actually a really strong driving force." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff   🧠 Better Brain Health Starts Today Save 20% on Mendi.io with the code "JOSH20" + Take control of your attention, learn to avoid distractions, and enhance mental resilience.

Imagining a new path for ourselves takes courage. Our brains are designed to help us survive. Why it's important to learn to let go of the need for certainty. [06:30] Think About Your Thinking The difference between autonomous and automatic responses. Why we can't get rid of our automatic thoughts. How we're the only species that has the capacity for metacognition. Why crime can be predicted from precognition. How scientists tend to think of spirituality as separate from science. [11:00] The Truth Behind Finding Your Purpose How finding purpose has been monetized. Why nobody finds their purpose by filling a sheet with questions. How our passion and purpose can change throughout our lives. Why people who haven't found their purpose feel like something's wrong with them. How being obsessed with finding our purpose might prevent us from finding it. [14:30] The Crowd Pleaser Script How not knowing your purpose may be your purpose. Why we can't predict what excites us. How we follow the crowd-pleaser script to follow other people's dreams. Why we don't question why we actually want something. [18:55] The Role of Liminal Spaces Why liminal spaces don't feel safe. How we want to exit the transitional state. Why sometimes it's necessary for us to leave the liminal space fast. How we perceive unpredictability as danger. Why liminal spaces allow us to discover ourselves. [22:10] How to Reduce Time Anxiety The difference between quantitative time and qualitative time. Why time can expand or contract depending on our experience. How AI can provide more time for us. Why AI has the potential to reduce time anxiety. How the notion of being late implies there's a fixed timeline. Why there's always a new beginning that we can join and build around it. [31:55] The Silicon Valley Script of Success How time anxiety fuels investment in Silicon Valley. What was Anne-Laure's experience working at Google. The script of success in Silicon Valley. Why young people rush into creating a start-up. [36:30] Rewrite Your Scripts How we've been conditioned to believe that if we're not doing the most epic thing, we're harming people. Why we follow other people's definitions of success. How all of us have cognitive scripts and have the power to rewrite them. Why we can choose to follow a script if it feels aligned with us. How Anne-Laure thought leaving her job at Google meant she was rewriting her script. When nobody's surprised by our decisions, we're still probably following a script. [42:50] Liminal Space VS Immediate Needs How Anne-Laure found herself in a liminal space after her first start-up failed. Why she started making money freelancing to be able to stay in the liminal space. How she took time to explore to find what truly excites her. Why Josh spent a year in Hawaii to start a new path. How everyone is on their own journey. Why the in-between moments give us the freedom to experiment. [52:00] How to Live Authentically Why Josh used to have purpose guilt. How authenticity is born in radical discomfort. Why we can find authenticity through questioning our choices. How people can feel if we're truly being ourselves. Why even older people still want to find what they truly enjoy. How we can include curiosity to explore our passions in our daily lives. [58:15] Experiment with Your Passions Tao: The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts How we can realize that what we thought would make us excited is not the right thing for us. Why starting a company wasn't what made Anne-Laure feel fulfilled. How experimenting with our passions helps us collect data about what we truly enjoy. [01:04:25] Learning in Public Why true leaders shine a light on others as well as on themselves. How Anne-Laure challenged herself to write 100 newsletter emails in 100 days. What helped her overcome her fear of public speaking. Why learning in public invited feedback and ideas. [01:11:35] Tiny Experiments Why it's important to start with small steps when we're experimenting with something new. How we can prove to our brain that our fear is irrational. Why there is no prescriptive advice that we could follow. How the amygdala drives our fear of rejection based on human evolution. The importance of asking questions. How being in a community and witnessing our experiments speed up our growth. [01:20:25] Create Beyond Legacy Why Anne-Laure believes we don't need to focus on building legacy. How money is not part of our legacy. Why success is when children still want to spend time with us when they're adults. Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg How we can teach ourselves to move beyond our scripts. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Ask Yourself This to Live a More Authentic Life "You can get a little bit closer to living an authentic life when you start asking yourself, what do I want? What am I curious about? And making space for it, as much space as you can." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff Liminal Space "Liminal space is a space where you don't know the rules, you don't know the players, you can't predict the outcomes. But we can't predict what's going to happen either way. It's this illusion of safety and certainty that we're seeking. The gift of the liminal space is learning more about yourself, about your work, and about the world. It is a space for self discovery if you allow yourself to stay in it, which can be very uncomfortable." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff What Would You Do If You Could Do Anything? "If the traditional definition of success was out of the equation, if it was just you, and you could wake up in the morning and spend your time in any way you like, read any book that you want, listen to any podcast, walk anywhere, just spend your day in any way following your curiosity, what would your day look like really?" - Anne-Laure Le Cunff Links From Today's Show  Anne-Laure Le Cunff Tiny Experiments by Anne-Laure Le Cunff Tao: The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

Save 20% with "JOSH20" Listen To Episode 731 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] The Power of Self-Talk The words we use are described as 'spells' and 'little prayers' that impact our mental state The narrative about pain can keep us stuck (e.g., saying 'I'm in pain' vs. 'I'm healing') The unconscious mind constantly listens to our self-talk Our brain receives 11 million bits of information per second but can only process 50-120 bits Neuroplasticity enables our brains to create new neural pathways through repeated thoughts [10:15] Disempowering Language Patterns Common disempowering phrases: 'I can't,' 'I should,' 'I'm bad,' 'I'm not smart enough' Learned patterns often pass down through family generations Spend 24 hours noticing how you speak to yourself The phrase 'I have to' creates a feeling of obligation and burden Replacing 'I have to' with 'I get to' shifts from obligation to opportunity The etymology of 'should' comes from Old English meaning debt, obligation, or duty [20:30] Replacing 'I don't know' 'I don't know' is a definite response that closes off possibilities Replace 'I don't know' with 'I'm figuring it out' or 'I'm learning how' The connection between disempowering language and lack of trust in intuition When we replace definitiveness with curiosity, it opens up possibilities Curiosity is lost during arguments when we get triggered (prefrontal cortex activity decreases) [30:45] Eliminating 'Try' + 'Maybe' 'Try' implies potential failure and provides a backdoor excuse not to succeed Replace 'try' with 'I will' or 'I'm going to do my very best' 'Maybe' steals our ability to take action and indicates a lack of conviction 'Maybe' often serves as a safety net in case we're wrong Replace 'maybe' with 'I commit to' or 'I believe' The importance of balancing high standards of communication with grace for ourselves Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Links From Today's Show  732 Anne-Laure Le Cunff | Stop Living Someone Else's Life: How to Break Free from The Hidden Scripts Controlling You 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!

Beliefs can be inserted when someone is vulnerable (financial hardship, emotional vulnerability) Manipulation tactics: fear-mongering, guilt, and virtue signaling Discussion of objective vs. subjective truth and their differences [15:45] Common Manipulation Types + Defense Strategies Three common manipulation types: fear-mongering, social proof pressure, false dichotomies Fear mongering: creating urgency through fear (COVID example given) Social proof pressure: fear of social rejection or judgment False dichotomies: presenting only two options when more exist Breathwork as a tool to exit manipulation cycles The key question to ask: 'Who benefits from me believing this?' The contradiction test: look for contradictions in someone's 'absolute truth' If you can't argue the opposite side, you've been conditioned, not educated [23:45] Rebuilding Intuition + Exiting Manipulation Every time you ignore your gut feeling, you make it weaker The cost of ignoring intuition: toxic relationships, bad jobs, meaningless pursuits Four ways to sharpen intuition: conscious breathwork, meditation, microdosing, conscious reflection The counterintuitive solution: 'The only way to win the game is to stop playing it' The observer mindset: watch the world like a movie rather than reacting to it Eight takeaways summarized at the end, including remembering that feelings are not facts Final encouragement to find peace and fulfillment by exiting manipulative systems Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Links From Today's Show  698 Cory Clark | Pro-Blame Bias: How to Find The Courage to Speak Your Truth + Escape Victim Mentality Wild Wild Country (2018) 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & COVID19 breathwork.io EONS: DAILED (Amanita Muscaria) - Get 20% off with code JOSH20 Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Legacy Cacao - Save 10% with JOSH when you order by the pound!
