One devastating moment at age 11 changed Tavish Calico's life forever. Witnessing the car accident that claimed his father and brother left scars that would take decades to fully process. In this raw, powerful conversation, Tavish opens his heart to share not just the trauma, but the extraordinary healing journey that followed.

"I couldn't sleep for years," Tavish reveals, describing how insomnia led him to channel his emotions through art and music during endless nights. As his mother recovered from severe injuries, young Tavish became her caretaker while wrestling with grief no child should endure. The emotional weight settled in his body, creating numbness that would take years to recognize and address.

What makes this episode truly exceptional is Tavish's vulnerability in describing his transformation. After reaching a breaking point in 2021, he embarked on a profound healing journey through therapy, energy work, and physical practices including yoga and cleansing. His description of sitting at the piano in darkness, playing from the depths of his pain while his mother stood listening in tears, captures the power of creative expression when words fail.

Today, Tavish approaches wellness with the same creativity that saved him, embracing everything from chakra clearing to cold plunging. His current detox cleanse has allowed him to experience what he calls "being fully present in my body" without the barriers that trauma creates. "The journey from the head to the heart is one of life's great challenges," he reflects, articulating the struggle to trust intuition over logic.

Whether you've experienced profound loss or simply feel disconnected from your body's wisdom, this conversation offers a roadmap to healing through awareness, acceptance, and holistic practices that honor both physical and emotional health.
