Alive and Free

In the Bible, Jesus forgives an adulterous woman long before she forgives herself. In fact, he reveals to her that the only one condemning her is herself.

Here's why this matters even if you're not religious:

Only you are punishing yourself for your sins, mistakes, and past traumas. This creates hopelessness, depression, anxiety, and even addiction. But once you figure out how to stop criticizing yourself, you'll experience more happiness than you thought possible.

In this episode, I'm revealing how to stop beating yourself up so you can see how great your life can be.

Show highlights include:

• How an ancient Bible story helps you to free yourself from being enslaved to your sins (even if you're not religious) (3:08)
• Why fighting your emotions is like fighting a cloud (and how to restore the blue sky whenever you're feeling down) (8:34)
• The weird way feeling soul-crushing defeat is the first step to destroying your sense of worthlessness (9:07)
• The dirt-simple mindset tweak that restores your sense of hope (16:22)
• The 3-step "Freedom and Forgiveness Process" for healing all your past traumas and mistakes (18:40)
• Why the Hebrew definition of "sin" makes it 10x easier to forgive yourself after sinning (19:22)
• How you're subconsciously poisoning your insides with negativity, lethargy, and hopelessness (26:33)

Most people think that addictions come from the substances themselves. Not only is this false, but it sabotages your ability to kick your addictions.

The truth is: All addictions come from you. In fact, there are 3 components powerful enough to make anything addictive. If it contains these 3 things, it could become your next compulsive behavior.

Why?

Because these components give you a more intense experience of life.

In this episode, I'm revealing the 3 parts that make something addictive. And how you can use this to free yourself from any compulsive behaviors you have.

Addiction doesn't say more about you as a person than a runny nose. But we often stop looking at ourselves as humans and start seeing ourselves as "addicts".

Not only does this keep us enslaved to our compulsions, but it fills us with guilt and shame.

The antidote to addiction isn't creating more suffering. It's learning the skill of freedom like a toddler learns how to ride a bike.

Want to free yourself from your addictions for good? Hit play and listen to this episode.

• Why you can't pray away your addictions (and how that empowers you to eliminate them) (2:39)
• The "Broken Bone Approach" for healing your addictions (without creating more guilt and suffering) (6:28)
• The sinister way popular addiction recovery programs trap you in your addictions instead of liberating you (8:29)

In life, we focus on removing the bad behaviors, habits, and actions to become happier. But we never take the time to reflect on good things that are slowly sabotaging our joy.

Take your phone and money for example. Both of these tools can help you live an easier and happier life. But they can also latch onto you like a parasite and slowly destroy your well-being.

They're what I call phoney friends — and they can be much more lethal than your worst addictions because they're helpful.

In this episode, I'm sharing how to identify these phoney friends earlier before they ransack your enjoyment of life.

Show highlights include:

• Why your smartphone is like a timewarp that makes life speed past you without enjoying it (4:20)
• How the 6 inch device in your pocket seizes control of your brain and "zombifies" your life (9:56)
• The weird way your phone addiction makes you worry nonstop about money (11:03)
• How something genuinely good can hijack your psyche and corrupt your happiness and peace (12:31)
• Why making more money causes more headaches and stress (and how to enjoy life to the fullest right now without money) (15:17)
• How focusing on your problems multiples your hardships (even if you're creating solutions) (16:19)
• Why getting addicted to helpful things is usually more dangerous than destructive habits (17:24)

Too often in life we have a "poker face." We hide our true emotions and pretend to be unfazed by painful feelings. We do this in our relationships, with our spirituality, in our careers, and on social media.

All this bluffing and hiding your authentic self tricks the people around you. Not only does it harm them, but it harms you. Whenever you lie, you force your brain to justify it — which drowns you in worry, fear, and even resentment.

In this episode, I'm revealing how to lift off the mask to your "poker face" so you free yourself from mental hang ups that suffocate your happiness.

Show highlights include:

• How "poker facing" your partner sabotages an otherwise healthy relationship (1:31)
• The almost too-simple, yet profoundly effective "cheat code" to make your life easier (7:01)
• How a "Truth Reality" liberates you from the burden of lying you've accidentally placed on your shoulders (7:07)
• The weird way your emotional baggage subconsciously makes your worst, most irrational fears come true (7:16)
• Why going to church every Sunday can weaken your relationship with God (10:30)
• The radical mindset shift that instantly eliminates anxiety, depression, stress, worry, and fear (13:40)

There are several times throughout our lives when we're chained to the couch and our motivation is depleted. That's when we turn to Tony Robbins and other motivational videos to kick us into gear.

But this is another subtle form of procrastination. Truth is, you don't need motivation in order to act.

In fact, there are 2 universal motivation killers that always rear their ugly heads when you're feeling lazy, overwhelmed, and burnt out. Once you're aware of them, you can instantly shift your perspective and take action — whether you're motivated or not.

In this episode, I'm revealing these 2 deadly motivation killers so you never have to worry about your lack of motivation again.

Show highlights include:

12-step programs and other well-meaning groups have done a lot of good in the world. But they've also ruined people's sense of freedom and joy.

These programs try to help members escape addictions, but accidentally traumatize people into thinking they're the only way to treat addiction, depression, and anxiety.

The truth is there isn't only one way to overcome addiction, self-loathing, anxiety, or depression. And you should steer clear of any program which says they're the only way.

In this episode, I'm revealing different and slightly weird ways to overcome your suffering (especially if programs, therapists, and other methods never worked for you).

Show highlights include:

• The cold, hard truth about why seeing a therapist never worked for you (and the oddball physical alternative that can finally flip your life around) (5:54)
• Why addiction, depression, and anxiety don't exist (and how pretending they exist creates a self-fulfilling prophecy that sabotages your sanity) (7:16)
• How suppressing horrible bouts of PTSD amplifies your PTSD (and how embracing your wretched fears finally frees you from it) (9:40)
• The "Movie Method" which helps you overcome your worst emotional and psychological trauma (12:31)
• How to weaponize "trauma" so you can conquer internal psychological warfare that's keeping you from freedom (15:50)
• The insidious way 12-step programs and other well-meaning programs plant dangerous "trauma seeds" that imprison you (17:19)

Too often in relationships, we put up boundaries and "keep out signs." This is especially true in marriages.

We think we're protecting the other person but we're actually slowly poisoning the marriage and ourselves.

Why?

Because you can't become one with the other person when boundaries are involved. It's not easy to become one with your spouse, but nothing will give you a more profound healing experience than becoming one with your partner.

In this episode, I'm revealing how powerful this weird idea is, how it's already transformed my marriage, and how it can revitalize your marriage too.

Show highlights include:

• How seemingly healthy boundaries subtly sabotage your marriage from the inside out (1:25)
• Why full disclosure usually wrecks marriages (and how to be brutally honest without sacrificing your relationship) (4:36)
• The weird way your spouse can "absorb" your thoughts, feelings, and emotions (and how this strengthens your marriage) (15:26)
• How "merging" with your spouse to become one instantly stops bickering, arguments, and resentment in its tracks (16:10)
• Why compromising with your partner is like drinking poison that slowly ruins you both (17:17)

Most people say they want a beautiful transformation in their life that frees them from all their unhappy thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and addictions. But they don't realize what they're asking for — it means you must sacrifice all the good in your life too.

You can't do this with a magic pill, hypnotist, or 6-week program. The only way to do this is by "becoming freedom." And you can only become freedom by killing your old self and becoming someone new.

It's not easy, but it's possible. And nothing creates unlimited joy and happiness like becoming someone new.

In this episode, I'm revealing how to become someone new to experience joy like you never thought possible.

Show highlights include:

• How to "morph" your body and mind to become freedom so you can permanently ditch your addictions (6:06)
• Why trying to conquer your biggest mistakes chains them to you forever (and how to eliminate them for good) (7:20)

• The wacky "punch to the chest method" that instantly frees you from all your pent up emotion you've bottled inside (13:37)
• Unhappy with your life? Here's how one question lets you start it over from scratch today (20:07)
• How clinging to all the good stuff in your life makes it impossible to change the bad (21:00)

Have you ever stressed about something that wasn't nearly as bad as your mind made it out to be? That's because you unconsciously manipulate your emotions to motivate yourself to take action. We've all done this since childhood — but that doesn't mean it's right.

What if you could motivate yourself without infecting your body with misery? Not only will you get more done, but you'll experience a joy for life that you probably never experienced before.

In this episode, I reveal all the insidious ways you manipulate yourself and how to stop manipulating yourself so you can be uncomfortably happy.

• Why adding meaning to your life locks you in a cage of agony, stress, and emotional turmoil (7:09)
• How to regain control over your nastiest emotions by simply driving your car (9:33)
