This episode is a call to presence.

Most of us are running on the same loop — replaying our trauma, our story, our past — hoping it’ll somehow lead to a different future. It won’t.

Here’s the truth: you can’t think your way out of pain. You can’t process emotions with your brain. You have to feel it. You have to drop into your body, into this moment, into what is real right now.

In this conversation, I dive into:

• Why endlessly retelling your story keeps you stuck
• The power of presence as the only real medicine
• How belief literally reshapes your body, health, and DNA
• Why you can’t “logic” your way to God, healing, or freedom
• How collective trauma (and doom-scrolling the news) hijacks your nervous system
• The hardest — but most beautiful — part of the spiritual path

And, for a little plot twist, I share how a parasite nearly killed me, dropped me 40 pounds in a month, and became one of the most revolutionary initiations of my life.

This journey isn’t easy. It’s lonely. It’s brutal. But it’s also the most breathtaking, sacred, transformative thing you will ever do.

And you are not alone. I see you. I feel you. And you are going to be okay.
