Listen To Episode 762 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] How the Survival Paradigm Hijacks Your Mind Why 95% of your thoughts are stuck in unconscious survival loops. How Dr. David Hawkins' frequency scale reveals the hidden trap of "good vibes only." Why mindset alone can’t pull you out, your identity must evolve. What the Wellness Pentagon™ reveals about true multidimensional nourishment. Why being stuck isn’t weakness, it's the voice of your inner victim feeding noise, not truth. [05:00] Becoming the Signal in a World Full of Noise How your environment programs your biology unless you intervene consciously. Why your body is a human battery and how to stop letting distractions drain you. What it means to be the signal above the noise (and why it’s not about your nervous system). How the five elements of the Wellness Pentagon™ rewire your internal guidance system. [10:15] The Missing Link Between Knowing + Doing Why willpower alone will never get you unstuck. The real reason you can’t meditate, journal, or change, even when you know it’ll help. How pressure, time, curiosity, and love create the internal bridge to lasting transformation.

Why nourishing yourself in all five domains can change the collective. [19:10] The Real Reason You’re Still Stuck Why emotional pain lingers longer than it should (hint: it’s not the feeling, it’s the belief). The forgotten sequence that governs your life: Belief → Thought → Feeling → Action. How unconscious stories like "I'm unworthy" and "I'm not lovable" trap you in survival mode. [22:55] How to Clear Generational Trauma + Societal Conditioning The 3 layers of emotional purification: intergenerational, societal, and internal. Why consuming content is not the same as embodying truth. How to finally live your truth instead of just speaking it. [25:45] Why Emotional Maturity Is the Key to Ending Pain The critical difference between exploring emotions and getting lost in them.

Why niceness is an emotional survival response born from fear of not being loved, fear of being alone, and fear of not being worthy. How people pleasing is a conditioned response rather than a personality trait. [02:35] Somatic Recognition + Body Awareness The most common physical indicators of niceness: facial tension, elevated shoulders, and fast breathing. How the enteric nervous system can detect authenticity within a 6-foot perimeter through micro-facial expressions. Why the body responds half a second before the mind processes input. [13:05] Language + Identity Transformation How self-identification as 'recovering people pleaser' or 'recovering perfectionist' reinforces the unwanted identity. Why we need to feel emotions rather than bypass them. The three awareness pillars: body awareness, voice/word awareness, and environment awareness. [15:40] Practical Implementation Strategies How to practice authentic 'no' in low-stakes situations to build courage for high-stakes scenarios. Why 'no' is the greatest gift we can give others, as it demonstrates self-love and trustworthiness. Pre-response check: placing hand on chest, breathing, and asking 'Is what I'm about to say/do aligned with who I am?'. [19:45] Stop Being a "Nice Girl" Why women struggle with direct communication and tend to avoid conflict through indirect refusal. How nonviolent communication in relationships serves as a model for boundary-setting. [20:55] Parenting + Generational Patterns How Josh navigates situations where he catches himself telling his son to 'be a good boy.' Why we pass people-pleasing patterns to children if our personal healing work isn't completed. [22:00] Identity + Values Framework The core self-knowledge questions: 'Who am I? What are my values? What do I stand for? What do I do and why?' What it takes to become'unfuck-withable.' How identity transformation extends cycles of recommitment from multiple daily reversions to weeks between old pattern occurrences. [25:55] Setting Boundaries in a Workplace The importance of recognizing people-pleasing behavior in a management role. Why we need to be kind but firm in our communication in professional settings to maintain healthy workplace dynamics.

It's a vicious cycle that's very hard to escape." - Nathan Graville Peptides + MSCs "Peptides and MSCs are the future of longevity. These are two therapeutics that will get us to living into our hundreds. When you do a MSC IV, it's going to find out where in your body you need healing and it's going to go to those areas on its own. This is potentially the most powerful therapeutic that we know about in existence as it relates to longevity." - Nathan Graville Feeling Healthy Doesn't Equal Being Healthy "There's no way to know if you're healthy based on just how you feel. You can have elevated markers that are directly correlated to all-cause mortality. Which is why looking underneath the hood is so crucially important. The only way to know is by doing a routine blood work." - Nathan Graville Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Nathan Graville Nathan Graville is a tech founder with a passion for designing beautiful products that deliver meaningful value.

If Talk Therapy Worked, You’d Feel Better: Mike Zeller Reveals New MDMA Therapy Breakthrough
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 748 Are your unresolved childhood wounds hijacking your relationships and keeping you stuck in depression or anxiety? Neuro-Rewiring Expert joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 748, to share how healing your protector parts can transform conflict into deeper connection and trust, why psychedelics can reopen critical social learning periods and give you access to the hidden programming of your mind, and how to move from fear-driven protector parts into authentic flow state. "Our core longing as human beings is connection and love. We think that the wounded, victim, angry self is who we are because that part is in the driver's seat, and we're identified with that feeling. When we do the neuro-rewiring work, we separate that enmeshment. And because of that separation, we can now recognize the patterns and awareness instead of being in it so much that we can't see." - Mike Zeller 🍄 A fully legal psychedelic microdose? YES!

How Josh realized in a session with Mike that he intellectualized a traumatic moment from when he was 11.

Power Quotes From The Show Exile Protector Parts "Exile protector parts are there to protect something that was vulnerable, something that happened in our life where we got taken advantage of, or someone was really harsh with us. It's something that's unprocessed. That protector part is wrecking havoc and we're losing energy. We want those parts in harmony. So we have to gently invite that part back into our psyche, make sure that part feels safe even when he or she has a little bit of a flare up, then approach again with gentleness. So then the flare up becomes less and less." - Mike Zeller Relationship Will Trigger Your Wounds "Our core wounds are often going to be activated in a very precise and needed way from our partner. That means that my wife's core wounds and my core wounds are perfectly in friction. So if I left, then I would have cowarded out on dealing with my core stuff." - Mike Zeller What Is The Driving Force of High-Achieving Men? "High-achieving men are high-achieving because they want love and they're clamoring for love. They think their pathway to get there is to excel and be perfect. They’re working hard so that their partners will love them, even though their partners already do love them. They don't have to do all those things. Instead, they can achieve from the state of 'I'm already loved and I'm already worthy and I just want to offer my gifts to the world.'" - Mike Zeller Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Mike Zeller is the only Neuro-Rewiring Expert in the US.

Marc Gafni | Why Soulmate Relationships Don't Work: The Secret Whole Mate Code to Cosmic Love

Marc Gafni | Why Soulmate Relationships Don't Work: The Secret Whole Mate Code to Cosmic Love
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 746 Are you ready to reconfigure your past and reimagine humanity’s future through the power of outrageous love? Visionary Philosopher joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 746, to guide you from mythic narratives of soul mates to the co-creative vision of whole mates: evolutionary partners in service of the cosmos. Learn how the gift of suffering becomes the pathway to transcendence, why raising children is a spiritual act of embodiment, and how solving humanity’s value crisis can spark a galactic awakening. "Soulmate relationships don't work. They're insufficient. If a couple is not looking at a shared horizon and they are only looking deeply in each other's eyes, it will not work. Whole mates are not just looking deeply in each other's eyes. They're first looking at a shared horizon, a shared mission. They're looking at the whole. They're in a relationship to the whole. And then from there, they turn back and look at each other." - Marc Gafni In This Episode, Marc Gafni Uncovers: [01:20] Outrageous Love Why 'I love you' is our sacred creed.

Power Quotes From The Show Ordinary Love VS Outrageous Love "I love you are sacred words, but we've lost connection to what they mean. We think that I love you is an ordinary love, a social construct where we agree this is the thing called love and we love each other and it gives us status and security and a sense of belonging. That's not what love is. Love is not ordinary love. Love is outrageous love. And outrageous love is not mere human sentiment. Outrageous love is the heart of existence itself." - Marc Gafni Bodhisattva Sexing "Sexuality models the larger field of Eros. It doesn't exhaust it. There are seven levels of Eros, seven tastes of sexing. And the seventh level is called Bodhisattva sexing which is when my orgasms become prayers. I'm sexing for the sake of the whole. I'm pouring my energy into the whole." - Marc Gafni The Source of Loneliness "Loneliness is the inability to share my soul print with another person, usually because I haven't shared it with myself. But my soul print is not a thing. My soul print is a story. It's a set of relationships. That's what reality is." - Marc Gafni Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Marc Gafni is a visionary thinker, social activist, passionate philosopher, and author of 25 books.

Listen To Episode 745 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Introduction to Emotional Epigenetics + Genetic Determinism How we inherit emotional patterns. The myth of genetic determinism: genes are not destiny and can be influenced by environment, emotions, and beliefs. Scientific studies prove how trauma and emotional experiences can be passed down through generations. The concept of learned helplessness is where individuals feel stuck due to societal programming and limiting beliefs about healing and personal change. Quantum entanglement and how personal healing can ripple through past and future generations. The four pillars of the L.I.F.E. Method: Liberation (uncovering hidden patterns), Integration (using breathwork and somatic tools), Frequency Upgrade (regulating the nervous system), and Embodiment (anchoring new behaviors and boundaries). [05:45] It's Your Responsibility to Heal Emotional epigenetics is likened to tending a garden, where inherited genes are seeds and the environment and choices are the nourishment. While inherited pain is not one's fault, it is each person's responsibility to heal and prevent passing trauma to future generations. How the L.I.F.E. Method program accelerates participants to pull out inherited emotional 'weeds' and rewire their nervous system. Emotional healing is not just biological but also spiritual, involving energy in motion (emotion) and the quantum field. Daily practices of emotional integration and inventory, and the importance of unconditional love and acceptance from all spiritual traditions.

Author and extreme adventurer, , joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose. The purpose is what it gives you access to. It's the transcendence, the awakening, the breaking down of the illusions, the surrender." - Akshay Nanavati In This Episode, Akshay Nanavati Uncovers: [01:10] 60 Days Alone in Antarctica How the world shows you more about the human soul than any textbook. Why it's a privilege when we can choose our suffering. How he confronted his inner demons while crossing Antarctica. Why Akshay's biggest mental challenge during the expedition was frustration. How the last 10 days felt like he was drunk. Why he ended the expedition after 60 days due to a life-threatening medical issue. [08:45] How to Stay In The Present Moment What brought Akshay into moments of oneness and bliss during the expedition. The three elements of a raw experience. Why he was pushing himself back into the present moment in order to keep going. How the only thing he could control was his next step. [12:40] The Paradox of Oneness How we all seek different forms of peak experiences. Why the illusion in which we experience life changed for Akshay. How the opposites encompass the human experience. Why the mind creates an illusion of good and bad. How Antarctica made Akshay feel very small but also extremely powerful. Why love is an experience of both separation and connection. How resisting or clinging to duality creates suffering. [19:40] The Gift of Suffering The bigger the dragon we battle, the better the treasure on the other side of the battle. Why the human experience is a paradox. How suffering is the means to transcendence. Why pain connects us to God. How Akshay accepts what is instead of resisting suffering. Why comfort is not the enemy. [26:45] Pure Experience Why reality is not "either, or." How labels create divisions and limitations. Why words can open the door for us, but can't provide the same value as experience. How mastery is about bringing ourselves back to the center. [31:40] Stop Attaching to The Outcome How Akshay's Antarctica crossing helped him shed the resistance to the outcome. Why he's been embracing the process more than the outcome. How he plays on the edge in the middle. What led Akshay to find more peace within. [36:40] Don't Be Afraid to Get Off Balance Why Akshay doesn't feel like the polar expedition was dangerous. The importance of allowing ourselves to feel grief. Why stillness isn't the same as doing nothing. How getting off balance helps us awaken.

Why separation makes us feel more connected. [54:15] Accept The Isness Why we're stabbed with two darts of suffering, according to Buddha. How bringing conscious awareness to our self-dialogue can help us change it. Why all unnecessary suffering is the resistance to accepting the isness. How embracing the edge of you makes life more joyful. [59:00] Feel It All Why we need to respect the mystery of God. How Akshay saw value in the delusion he was experiencing during the expedition. Why we shouldn't rob our children of their lessons. How Indian parents tend to over-spoil their kids. Why having our kids experience the full range of emotions builds their resilience. The only way out of the suffering is through it. [01:06:30] The Power of Language How soft talk disempowers us. What led Akshay to become more conscious of his language. How our words shape our reality. When we give our pain voice, we give it more power. How all words are conceptual thoughts. [01:11:20] The Reality of Polar Crossing Why Akshay's now on a mission to share his storm with others. What makes him want to go back to Antarctica. Why his goal was to spend 115 days on the polar mission. What he was eating while he was crossing Antarctica. [01:16:10] Turn Your Pain to Your Purpose Why we often want to skip and bypass grief.

How being a father makes men into leaders. [01:38:10] Find Beauty in Suffering How judgment comes from resentment or jealousy. Why fear and nirvana are not opposite but complementary. How finding beauty in suffering makes life more joyful. [01:43:15] Fear of Other People's Opinion Why Akshay doesn't feel directly affected by Indian culture. How he feared what people would think if he didn't make it through the expedition. Why other people's lens of reality doesn't change who we are. How Akshay only took a day off from walking Antarctica on day 50. [01:47:30] Your Beliefs Hold You Hostage Why Josh wasn't able to start the podcast for 4 years because of his childhood conditioning. Why all paths are a crossroad. We don't rise to the level of the desires that we want, we fall to the level of the struggle that we're willing to endure. How all the suffering Akshay went through was worth it. Why belief is built on the battlefield. We are not defined by our thoughts. How confidence is a result of an action, it's not the fuel for action. [01:56:25] Connection with God Why Akshay didn't have a relationship with God when he was struggling with suicidal thoughts. How he taps into gratitude and the essence of the human spirit. Why Akshay wants to help other people cross their own version of Antarctica. 🍄 A fully legal psychedelic microdose? YES!

The resisting or clinging to either side of any duality is what creates all suffering." - Akshay Nanavati What Struggle Are You Willing to Endure? "We as individuals, we will not rise to the level of the desires we want. We will fall to the level of the struggle we are willing to endure." - Akshay Nanavati The Paradox of Oneness "The paradox of oneness is the realization that all the opposites that encompass the human experience are not truly separate. They are interconnected and they are part of a greater whole. True peace and freedom are created through shedding the illusions of the conceptual mind that creates these divisions, seeing them as one, and embracing both sides as part of the greater whole." - Akshay Nanavati Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Akshay Nanavati has overcome drug addiction, PTSD from fighting in Iraq with the Marines (where one of his jobs was to walk in front of vehicles to find bombs), depression, and alcoholism that pushed him to the brink of suicide. Since then, by embracing his demons, he has built a global business, run many ultramarathons, spent 17 days in darkness and isolation, and spent 100 days alone dragging heavy sleds for over 1200 miles in the polar regions. Despite 4 biological defects including a blood disorder that 2 doctors told him would kill him in boot camp, he is now a sponsored athlete and most recently he pushed his body to the brink of death, spending 60 days alone in Antarctica dragging a 420 sled for 500 miles on what has been called “the boldest Antarctic expedition in modern times.” Combining his life experience with years of research in neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality, he wrote the book “Fearvana," about which the Dalai Lama said, “Fearvana inspires us to look beyond our own agonizing experiences and find the positive side of our lives.” Now, Akshay travels the world sharing the wisdom he has unearthed from the most extreme depths of solitude and suffering. He is on a mission to help our human family explore the edges and fall in love with both play and suffering in order to create a life of greater meaning, joy, and fulfillment.

LLS | Accountability Vs. Boundaries: How to Hold People Accountable Without Burning Bridges
Wellness + Wisdom: Liberated Life Series | Episode 741 Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host, , and the Liberated Life Series Co-Host, , reveal the secrets to accountability and boundary enforcement without shame or anger, drawing on nonviolent communication and the “rule of three”, and how emotional regulation and clear communication can guide you to practice boundaries in a way that fosters deeper connection and self-trust, no matter how challenging your relationships might be. We ALL have problems. Stop hiding. Start living life liberated. Learn how to set yourself free from self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, thoughts + behaviors so you will have lifelong confidence + clarity of purpose through a thriving community + practical tools, guiding you to play a new reality game. Discover lifelong confidence, clarity, and a true sense of purpose with practical tools and a supportive community. Learn to rewrite your reality + master a new “reality game.” Unlock your highest potential in your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual + financial SELF beyond your wildest dreams through accessing the power of surrender to trust life + create new results. Listen To Episode 741 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Introduction to Accountability + Boundaries The essence of accountability. Boundaries are essential for self-love and healthy relationships. How much responsibility do we have to hold others accountable? Fear often prevents people from enforcing boundaries; fear is reframed as 'false evidence appearing real.' [03:45] Setting + Practicing Boundaries Boundaries are first set, then practiced; self-regulation and self-accountability are key. Letting go of the fear of 'burning bridges' is crucial when enforcing boundaries. Boundaries should be communicated clearly, especially in family and intimate relationships, where they are often hardest to enforce. Practicing boundaries with strangers or in low-stakes situations helps build skill and courage. [07:20] Learning from Broken Boundaries + Pain Pain from broken boundaries teaches self-love and integration. Rigid boundaries may block love and growth; flexibility and self-trust are needed. Repeated lessons occur until boundaries are internalized and enforced naturally without fear or anger. [09:45] Nonviolent Communication + Boundary Enforcement Boundaries can be enforced without shame or anger, using curiosity and dialogue. Public and private boundary enforcement share the same principles: identify the breach, ask questions, and seek shared outcomes. Role-play example demonstrates the 'rule of three' for boundary communication: verbalize the breach, bring curiosity, and co-create a result. Adding emotional context (how it makes you feel) enhances understanding and connection. [19:35] Emotional Regulation + Honesty Breath and presence are essential for emotional regulation during boundary conversations. Triggers are opportunities for growth; honesty about feelings creates clarity and speed in resolving issues. Slowing down communication and being honest about triggers or fears leads to better outcomes. Honesty is the foundation for clarity, which in turn enables faster resolution and connection. [24:40] Attachment Styles + the Path to Peace Speed in resolving conflict is a universal human desire, but true speed comes from honesty and clarity, not rushing. Attachment styles (anxious and avoidant) influence how people approach boundaries and connection. Sitting in honesty and clarity helps both attachment styles achieve harmony and connection quickly. Awareness is the starting point for all personal growth and boundary work; the series aims to nourish all aspects of self (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial). 🍄 A fully legal psychedelic microdose?

How To Die Young As Late As Possible: Sean Lake on New Collagen Science for Longevity + Peak Parenting
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 740 Can collagen help you ‘die young as late as possible’ and keep your body in peak condition? Sean Lake, Founder of , joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 740, to share how collagen supplementation transformed his own healing process, allowing him to maintain a life of adventure in his 50s, why only a fraction of supplement companies genuinely care about helping you heal, and how collagen helps with connective tissue repair and alleviating joint pain. "After you're in your early mid-20s, you lose 1 to 2% of the collagen in your body every year. So when you turn 55, you're at half.

BUBS Collagen Peptides start out as grass-fed bovine collagen and are then turned into collagen peptides through a controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process. This process transforms the collagen into much smaller and easily digestible peptides that are highly bioavailable. Collagen peptides are typically recommended for those looking to support skin health, improve joint function, boost bone density, and enhance hair and nail growth.

They have to walk it, but I want to show them the right path." - Sean Lake Can You Get Enough Collagen From Your Diet? "Ground beef and bone broth are an amazing way to get gelatin collagen in the body. But what you don't realize is how much you'd have to eat. For most bodies, 20 grams is the baseline. But to get 20 grams from nature, you'd have to be eating a lot of ground beef or bone broth. And our lifestyles don't really allow us to do that and then there's also a digestive cost." - Sean Lake Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Sean Lake Sean Lake is an entrepreneur, former professional snowboarder, and the co-founder of BUBS Naturals, a wellness brand best known for its grass-fed collagen protein and MCT oil powders.

Leadership Coach joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 738, to share how cultural pressure, generational wounds, and the fear of “not being enough” shape our identity from a young age, why challenging these scripts can help you rewrite your life, and how to close the gap between who you think you should be and who you really are. "The language that your parents speak to you becomes the language that you speak to yourself for the rest of your life.

She took that out on you because that's the only way she could think if I made you better, then I would be better. But when you're a kid, all you understand is the internalization that you're wrong, you're bad, and you're not good enough." - John Wang We Take On Ancestral Patterns "My grandparents were dealing with famine and war. And so I have the patterns they learned to survive in my body, even though I'm not facing famine and war. But yet that is the level of anxiety, fear, self-judgment, and guilt that I carry because they had to carry it. They're not mine. I didn't create them for my survival. I took them on because my parents taught them to me." - John Wang Why We Hide Our Truth "We fear telling the truth because if I can keep up this illusion of who others see me as, then one day I'll come to believe in myself. If I can convince you to like me, then I'll like me. If I can convince you to think that I'm important, then I'll think I'm important. If I'm trying to sell you a version of me, that relationship is poisoned." - John Wang Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About John Wang is a leadership coach to the Asian American community, corporate speaker, and host of the Big Asian Energy podcast.

LLS | Why You Were Never Meant to Heal Alone
05/02/2025
LLS | Why You Were Never Meant to Heal Alone
Wellness + Wisdom: Liberated Life Series | Episode 737 Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host, , and the Liberated Life Series Co-Host, , share how letting go of outdated relationships frees you to find deeper belonging, why self-awareness and courage are the real keys to attracting your trusted tribe, and how online groups can serve as scaffolding for more intimate in-person meetups, and why you were never meant to heal alone. We ALL have problems. Stop hiding. Start living life liberated. Learn how to set yourself free from self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, thoughts + behaviors so you will have lifelong confidence + clarity of purpose through a thriving community + practical tools, guiding you to play a new reality game. Discover lifelong confidence, clarity, and a true sense of purpose with practical tools and a supportive community. Learn to rewrite your reality + master a new “reality game.” Unlock your highest potential in your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual + financial SELF beyond your wildest dream through accessing the power of surrender to trust life + create new results. Listen To Episode 737 As Josh Trent Uncovers: [00:00] Defining Authentic Community + Connection Community is defined as a space of mutual trust, support, and non-judgment where individuals can be authentic. Modern society often replaces true community with transactional relationships. The concept of friendship is visualized as three rings: inner circle (trusted tribe), middle (friends), and outer (acquaintances). Authentic connection starts with self-awareness and the courage to be oneself Biological and neurological need for community is emphasized—humans are wired for connection. [06:15] Personal Growth, Letting Go + the Evolution of Friendships Personal development often leads to outgrowing old friendships and communities that no longer align with one's values or growth. Letting go of relationships can be painful, but it is necessary for personal evolution and to allow space for new, aligned connections. Take inventory of your current relationships and assess their authenticity and alignment. Growth and change in core friendships typically occur every 5-7 years. [11:30] The Power of Community in Healing + Growth Healing and personal growth are maximized in community, not in isolation. Practices like breathwork and nonviolent communication are more powerful when done collectively. Community acts as a mirror, providing feedback and shared experiences that foster deeper learning and transformation. [13:50] Online vs. In-Person Community + The Role of Intuition Modern communities often begin online but should ideally transition to in-person for a deeper connection. Intuition is key in discerning authentic communities from transactional or inauthentic ones. The gut-brain axis and healthy lifestyle choices are linked to stronger intuition and better discernment. [20:15] Scaffolding of Online Communities + Financial Considerations Online communities serve as scaffolding for building deeper, in-person connections. Financial limitations can be a barrier to in-person experiences, but online spaces can help build the foundation for eventual in-person engagement. True value in a community comes from honest participation and mutual support, not just financial transactions. [24:00] Money, Energy Exchange + Models for Community The necessity of energy exchange (including money) for sustaining community leaders and facilitators. Different community models: free, paid, and hybrid (scholarships, partial gifting) communities. The value of transformational experiences is often worth the investment, and money is reframed as a vehicle for energy exchange. Question assumptions about money and community, and find models that align with both integrity and sustainability. A fully legal psychedelic microdose? YES!

Silvy Khoucasian | Stop Confusing Chemistry for Trauma: Why You're Attracted to the Wrong People + How to Finally Break the Pattern
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? 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. Agreements are the gold where you start to recognize how to find the bridge for both people's needs. And then you also set internal boundaries and agreements with yourself so that you're contributing to create that environment" - Silvy Khoucasian In This Episode, Silvy Khoucasian Uncovers: [01:15] Are You Looking for The Red Flags? Why everyone has their own red flags in a relationship. How red flags can be related to an unbalanced nervous system.

Why reassurance from her husband helped her heal her attachment style. It's normal to have vulnerabilities in a relationship. [14:10] Learn to Self-Regulate The differences between each of the four attachment styles. Why we unconsciously relive our childhood memories as adults, even when we don't remember them. How we only discover our wounds when we get into a relationship. Why it's important to learn to self-regulate. How we can co-create safety with other people. [19:55] Create Positive Interactions With Your Partner Why relationships are not easy for most of us. How we create agreements in a relationship to protect ourselves from ourselves and from each other. Why vulnerability is the key to creating connection. Why there's no point in being in a relationship if we're not attuned to our partner. [25:40] Replace Judgment with Curiosity Why it's hard to be curious about another person if we're not curious about ourselves. How Silvy felt lonely inside because she put all of her focus on others. Why curiosity is the antidote to judgment. How we want our partner to be like us when we're in a conflict. [28:45] How to Express Emotions in A Relationship Why men are not meant to always hold space and emotionally regulate their partner. How to be respectful towards our partner when we emote. Why women's emotional outbursts can violate men's boundaries and create resentment over time. Why women need to learn to hold space for men to be vulnerable. The importance of being able to share emotions without harming the other person. How Josh navigates conflicts with his partner. [35:45] Expression Instead of Projection Why it's important to have role models who are securely attached. How Silvy learned to express her wounds instead of projecting them. Why they constantly create new agreements with her husband. How to navigate potential threats to the relationship. [40:25] Heal Your Deepest Wounds Which wound Silvy needed to heal in order to be in a relationship. How she learned to speak up for herself and walk away from where she was mistreated. Why Josh struggled with an anxious attachment wound. How avoidant people seek control to keep themselves safe. [46:55] The Anxious + Avoidant Relationship Dynamic The positive traits of anxious and avoidant people. Why anxious and avoidant attachment styles are drawn to each other. How the anxious person makes the avoidant even more avoidant. The importance of communicating our needs with clarity. Where passive-aggressive communication comes from. How anxiously attached people struggle with vulnerability. Why agreements help us move towards secure attachment. [52:05] How to Heal Attachment Wounds Why avoidant individuals are not truly present in the relationship. How avoidant attachment style is formed through neglect. Why we leave relationships when there is no willingness. How IFS therapy and parts work are going to help us heal our relationship wounds. Why it's important to understand the vulnerabilities of the other person. How Silvy utilizes solution-focused therapy in her work. [59:25] Why You Ignore The Red Flags How seeing the potential in our partner can make us miss the red flags. Why the anxious attachment style causes us to ignore the negative traits of a potential partner. How acknowledging and grieving childhood pain provides healing. Why the avoidant attachment style makes us idealize the other person. How Josh used to put his podcast guests on a pedestal.

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.

"When you don't sleep very well, you're choosing to age faster. If you stay up for 20 hours, you've added 4 hours of damage, which means your brain is aging 25% faster. If you do this regularly, you will get neurological decline." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Get 20% Off Dr. Parsley's Sleep Remedy Sleep Remedy is designed to enhance the quality of your sleep, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Sleep experts meticulously formulated this product to naturally align with your body's sleep mechanisms, providing a non-habit-forming solution to improve nightly rest.

Why the Industrial Age affected our sleep quality. [27:35] Super Sleeper Genes Why wearable data is not actionable. How we can't change what we don't measure. Why our genes define whether or not we suffer when we get less than 8 hours of sleep. How to treat insomnia using non-sleep deep rest. Why we need to mimic what our ancestors did to sleep well. The importance of creating a list of our worries. [39:05] The Science of Sleep Why parents lose 6 months of sleep during the first 2 years of their baby's life. How we can recover from long-term lack of sleep. Why it takes 8 hours to recover from being awake for 16 hours. How we clean the waste inside of our body through sleep. What happens in the body when we go to sleep. Why our body creates inflammation when we don't manage to get rid of the waste product. How calcified plaque is created in the body. [44:55] Chronic Sleep Deprivation = Neurological Decline? How psychiatric illnesses are highly impacted by sleep. What chronobiology has discovered about psychiatric patients and their mental health in relation to circadian rhythm. Why being awake is catabolic and being asleep is anabolic. How we repair our stress levels while we sleep. Why immediately after working out we are weaker and we need to repair during our sleep. How aging affects our capacity to repair our body. Why long-term lack of sleep makes us age faster. How releasing stress hormones can help us repair if we don't get enough sleep. Why we're the only stress-deprived species on Earth. [54:20] How to Navigate Sleep Deprivation As a Parent Why co-sleeping with our children is not essential. How each child has different sleep needs. Why Kirk repressed a lot of his childhood anger and trauma. How he used to pull all-nighters when he was studying, working, and raising his children. Why sleeping 4 to 5 hours a day for several years caused Kirk's health to decline. How he was helping the SEALs with their health issues but wasn't helping himself.

[01:44:15] The End of Suffering Why Kirk used to believe that we need to choose to suffer for a reason. How he always wanted to raise his children to be able to handle as much as him. Why the consequence of suffering was that he got tired of suffering. Power Quotes From The Show Lack of Sleep = Threat? "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. So it's an inflammatory response." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Links From Today's Show Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Biohacking Wellness Test Kits Nutrition + Gut Health Supplements Sleep Natural Energy Fitness + Physical Health Healthy Home Mental Health + Stress Release Personal Care Mindfulness + Meditation Clothing Free Resources About Kirk Parsley, MD is certified in Hyperbaric Medicine, Anti-Aging Medicine, and Hormone Replacement Therapy, and is currently pursuing national certification in Psychedelic Medicine Therapies.
