Alive and Free
It's time to rip the cover off what really works to finally ditch stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, past trauma, chronic pain, and all other kinds of human suffering. No, not just relief, recovery, comfort, healing, or sobriety. We're talking the F word here — freedom — Happiness and well-being on autopilot. My team and I will share straight from the trenches what we've learned from using a non-therapy, body-based approach to leave our own struggles behind while also coaching thousands of others to do the same. And since these are often such heavy topics, we’re gonna get a bit irreverent and ha...

Should You Trust Your Brain?
The brain is a very useful tool when we’re dealing with what’s around us. But when it comes down to real life, it’s our bodies that are experiencing it. Today we’ll talk about relying on the brain’s understanding. Have a listen. Highlights: I would punch them and they would feel so good and energized because they realized it feels good to be in their body. (10:20) I didn’t know that I could question these things that were all in my head. (17:00) The phrase “my truth” is a decision to not let anybody question you when you should be questioning yourself.

It's Not What You Do, But How You Do It
We’ve had our fair share of questions and comments from people who have “already done all these things”. Today we’ll explain more what we’re really doing and why it just might not be the same as what you think. Have a listen. Highlights: Somebody might have trained with people that I did but that doesn’t mean they know what I do and what I am trying to do with these techniques. (5:20) I’m not saying, “this is the only way,” this is just the best way that I’ve seen. (13:30) In order to see the change you have to feel it. Your body has to learn it.

You Don't Have to Have Issues
When something happens, there doesn’t always have to be an issue with it. You can let go of the response and control it. We’ll talk about it more today. Have a listen. Highlights: I was leading myself to my own grave because of some teachings that I had likely misinterpreted.

I Am... Except When I'm Not
We have often had people who have a single belief of who and what they are. It’s not that they’re wrong for that, it that they had never tried to challenge it before. People who were “superior” to them had given diagnosis and those were taken to heart. Today we’ll talk about it more. Have a listen. Highlights: A lot of people we encounter had their mom, their teacher, their mentor tell them something and that’s never been challenged. (13:10) Internally, I don’t want to put the keys in the lock that are almost a fit, but to a perfect fit. I’d rather make them on the inside. (19:20) Medical doctors aren’t always right and I think they would appreciate if we said; I don’t think that’s accurate and here’s why. And together you could figure out a solution. (30:30) Trauma is not a thing and if me saying that is upsetting, then maybe its an invitation to set down all that. (39:15) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Win the War Within

Have a listen. Highlights: The body has some way of remembering how it’s reacted in a situation before. (10:10) You are the hardest person you will ever coach.

Description vs Prescription
Description; “I feel happy”. Prescription; “I’m doing all of these things so I should be feeling happiness”. Don’t let the prescriptions and “shoulds” in life, run over the descriptions, and the present moment. Today, we’ll talk about this more. Have a listen. Highlights: In a list, you’ll be given prescriptions, not what will become good, natural byproducts of your living experience. (14:30) “Where am I at, where am I headed, and what do I need to shift in order to move in that direction?” (17:00) Take a step back and think, what if everything will just naturally happen, if I just focus on what’s important right now?

F1 Love
After the 2024 Miami GP, Lando Norris gains his first win and declares his love to everybody. Now, after a grueling two hour race, he probably felt relieved and wasn’t actually feeling “love”. Today, we’re going to talk about this more. Have a listen. Highlights: In that moment, was he really feeling love? (10:15) Feelings of love and kindness are a direct result of the state that the body is in, in any given moment. (14:20) Like I’ve been saying for a long time, your thoughts and emotions are a byproduct of the body. (20:00) There is a big difference between your senses, and what you make of your senses.

To the Wives... "It's not you, it's me."
This one’s for the women. A man’s “addiction” to pornography doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with you or that you need to change. It is just the way that his body has found to cope with his discomfort. We’re going to talk about this more today. Have a listen. Highlights: Because the “addiction” is no longer sexual, we look at; what are they coping with? (15:50) Depression, shame, and guilt are all mechanisms that are engaged in order to solve an ongoing problem. (17:25) It’s a chasing of a sensation all because, the person is unconscious of the way that they have built discomfort into their lifestyle. (25:35) Women, there is nothing wrong with you. And if the guy is wanting to change, that is evidence that he cares and that you are enough. (36:20) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Get Good Help
If you’re going to get help with something, at least get good help. Ruminating on the problem won’t solve it, so find someone or something that looks at the source, not the symptom. We’ll talk about this more today. Have a listen. Highlights: Do you really want validation on your trauma? (5:20) If you don’t want things to continue down their current path, validation will not get you to another place. (7:20) When bad help becomes the main source, it causes rumination on the symptoms, and not on the causes. (16:50) If you’re going to get help, then get good help.

Bad Therapy by Abigail Shrier
Therapy is not really as useful as it seems. In reality, therapy gets you to just ruminate on thoughts and situations that are no longer useful to you. Instead of spending time pouting about it, learn from it and move on. Today, we’re going to talk about that more. Have a listen. Highlights: When going to some form of entertainment, the emotional controls are almost willfully set aside for the enjoyment of another story. (6:05) No doubt, teenagers all over the planet have these hormonal things that show up, and have situations that they have emotions about. But it’s being blown out of proportion to where everybody is being taught, everybody will have emotions that are too big for them and these tools are needed. Instead of; there might be an emotion from time to time, no big deal. (10:40) There becomes such a focus on the problem that it becomes overwhelming and it can seem like there’s no hope. (27:30) Don’t feel bad if the tools that have been given to you aren’t as effective as some other ones out there could be.

Money and Monsters
Money isn’t the source of happiness and problems in life. It might just be some warning lights on your dashboard of life. Today, we’ll talk about this more. Have a listen. Highlights: You’re thinking of this creeping up debt as a problem, when all that’s happened in the past is that a new solution to the problem has been found. (3:10) The money in your wallet might be a monster. (8:30) Life is the greatest give that you can get. (20:50) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Evolutionary Biology, Science, and Myth
Biology, evolution, science, and religions are all great and can be useful tools in life. But they shouldn’t interfere with your experience. We live in the present, the now. Not 100, not 500, not 5000 years ago. Today we’re going to talk about this more. Have a listen. Highlights: There isn’t a bodiless it out there, like god, that is saying; “this is the case and you must accept it”. But because it’s in a book, people accept it. (9:05) Just because you can connect all the dot’s on the paper, doesn’t mean that you actually understand the paper. (17:20) It’s not that science is bad. But in the end, it’s not needed to live a powerful life. The effort to try and understand the distant past, has prevented people from making use of the present, in order to have a powerful experience in your life.

F.A.I.R.O's
FAIRO is an acronym for “false ah-ha’s impersonating real ones”. Meaning that when an ah-ha moment comes up, no time is wasted in assuming it is the answer and not just an observation. Today we’re going to talk about this more. Have a listen. Highlights: There’s danger in assuming that an ah-ha moment is the truth. (7:55) The ah-ha moment is the moment when you’ve conceptualized the world into an idea. (13:30) Assessing someone on a first impression isn’t the issue. Clinging to the impression is. (22:00) Stop making assumptions from ah-ha’s and start making real observations. (30:30) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

False But Useful???
Today we’re going to do a little bit of a play by play of a book that I recently read. But as we talk, find what’s useful, and keep it. then toss the rest out. Have a listen. Highlights: There are humans so busy suffering and chasing power, money, prestige and all the other things that they end up killing each other for it. (3:05) I was making all kinds of claims, but I found a lot of frustration in that that I wasn’t willing to admit. When something wasn’t working I’d turn it on, and judge myself more poorly because what I assumed was the truth wasn’t. (7:15) Continue to look and hear with your eyes and ears, find what’s valuable and toss the rest. (35:15) If the body is in a negative state then negative thoughts will emerge. (37:20) Don’t make the mistake of believing that thoughts are reality. They are just a part of your experience. (44:50) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Everyday Bliss
Everyday bliss. Just being in a space where you can enjoy running your body, from just being alive. Not having to operate from a place of constant tension. We’re going to talk about that more today. Have a listen. Highlights: When talking about a life, it isn’t the big things that I’m talking about. It’s how do you open the car door, cut food, talk to your spouse, it’s all the little things. (8:10) If the nerve is already agitated to the brink of firing, then the tiniest little thing will set it off. (10:45) People don’t want control over everything, they want life to happen in a beautiful way for them, no matter what’s going on. (25:25) The inner party, is louder than the outer chaos.

Proprioception
Proprioception can be often thought of how you perceive your physical situation, but it goes a lot deeper than that. It is how you perceive yourself in any situation. Proprioception is how you catch yourself in the act of living. We’re going to talk about this in depth today. Have a listen. Highlights: The prediction is made first, and only if the prediction is wrong, is more energy spent trying to figure out what’s going on. (6:00) We end up limiting our future by never challenging the predictions of the past. (11:20) The physicality of it is an attempt to sideline all of the thinking and doomsday-ing that’s happening inside. (21:45) If a reaction to something was less than it was before, and if it stays that way over the course of a day or two, the brain is now making different guesses about the idea that has been adopted.

Affirmations & Disbelief
AF 243 - Affirmations & Disbelief Sounding like opposite ends of a spectrum, affirmations and disbelief are not so different. In fact, affirmations come for the disbelief in yourself and the lack of surety. Today we’ll talk about this more. Have a listen. Highlights: If you don’t go through pain, then you don’t gain pain. (3:45) People are trying to find a trauma to blame their problems on, and they feel worse because they’re “just that messed up”. (8:35) I can say that I feel like there’s something missed in the beauty of life, in its natural form.

Integrity vs Honesty
Although Integrity and honesty may seem very similar, there are a few key differences that make a whole lot of change. Today, we’ll talk about that more. Have a listen. Highlights: …under the assumption that in the next 20 years of life, an opinion would and should never change. (5:40) If I could connect to people on their goodness, then positive things would come out of it. But I thought goodness meant that people thought and operated the same way I do. (14:55) At different times in the world, goodness would have been defined differently. (18:00) Only when the perception change, does the reaction change.

Body-Based Approach to Happiness, Health, and Well-being.
So Bob is out of town, and Lee decided to do a classic rewind of an important podcast. With one of two amazing episodes; this is from September 1, 2021, called The Body-Based Approach to Happiness, Health, and Well-being. In our modern society, we put too much emphasis on our minds, thoughts, and feelings. The problem with this is your mind is just a fraction of your total experience of life. In fact, your whole body is a brain. And I can prove it. Pinch your finger right now and you’ll experience pain signals shooting up to your brain. Yet, when it comes to emotional baggage, trauma, addictions, and other mental ailments, we forget about the body and hyperfocus on the mind. If you want to permanently free yourself from these mental diseases, you have to first start in your body. Ancient cultures from all over the world knew how to do this. But we forgot how to do it in our modern world. In this episode, I’m revealing how a body-based approach to happiness, health, and well-being is more effective than any therapist could hope to be. Listen now. Show highlights include: The strange way laws prevent therapists from helping you as much as they could (4:09) Why therapy and counseling can only help a fraction of your mental health problems (even if it feels like they’re working) (14:33) How chanting mantras can actually make your anxiety, depression, and even schizophrenia subside (17:11) Why using your body is the single best way to eliminate all your mental and emotional baggage forever (19:32) How to teach your body freedom so you can erase mental health problems, addictions, and even chronic pain from your life (28:38) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

E-Comas
Comas aren’t always, lights out and unconscious for a long time. Sometimes it’s just the lack of energy from overstimulation. And in today’s world, there’s a lot of it. Today we’ll talk about it more. Have a listen. Highlights: Everything you see is changing the tension patterns in your body, and that’s going to change your perspective of things. (8:00) When you prime your system with; something’s gone wrong and we have to find the mystery, you unconsciously live your life that way. What entertains you, trains you. (13:05) When you do something unconsciously, it seems like you don’t experience it. (20:35) Instead of wondering why there’s little energy to do things, maybe, just maybe, It’s being used to process everything you see.

Mastering the Breath
The breath has been studied many times over for years. All the little tips and tricks can help understand the breath. But mastering it comes for paying attention to how it feels to you. Today, we’ll talk about the breath. Have a listen. Highlights: People tend to try to master breathing by only thinking about breathing in certain regards or certain breathing practices instead of understanding the nature and depth of what breath really is. (6:30) The best place to start, in terms of mastering the breath, is to pay attention to it. How are you breathing during the day? (8:40) How are you breathing?

Biology Over Psychology
Not everything is purely psychological. The biology of a person has a lot to do with their emotions, their thoughts and their moods. So, connection the biology to the psychology can be a key experience to letting go of trauma and addiction. Highlights: I’m taking my years and years of experience understanding how the mind and body are intertwined, to bring the mind and the body together too un-stitch all of the quilted patterns of misery that people have stitched to themselves over the course of their lives. (12:50) There’s nothing wrong with allowing breath work to happen, but why not let it happen on purpose? Why not be deliberate with how you use the breath? (14:05) I hold people in this spot, teetering on the edge of play and challenge and discomfort, back and forth to where they can’t keep holding on to their old reasons to suffer. And somewhere in the middle of it, the magic happens. (27:05) The key understanding is that people’s thoughts and feelings come from their biology.

Recovering Recovery
Recovery shouldn’t take forever. There’s no reason for you to be an addict, or a recovering addict, for a majority of your life. Today we’re gonna talk about that a little more. Have a listen. Highlights: If you are not able to live a life free of that thing, and happy, and more capable than you were before, then it doesn’t deserve the title of a rehab center. (4:00) I’ve often compared it to being chased by a rabid dog; you always have to stay one step ahead and you can’t stop. (6:55) If it takes 30 years to overcome something that can happen in days, weeks, or months, then whoever’s running that program, doesn’t have a clue about it. (11:20) How closely have you paid attention to the small things, and how well have you trained yourself to recover. (14:20) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

The 10th Sense?
Knowing that there are more than the 5 senses you were taught throughout your childhood, let’s talk about another one. Today we’re going to talk about the sense of self. Have a listen. Highlights: Humans use a sense of self as a way to navigate the world of society and as a way of motivating ourselves. (9:00) We talk about ourselves as if that’s who we are all the time, but really, that’s something that is altered. (13:25) That self is whatever I’ve identified as me. It has to do with experiences I’ve collected, or had powerful emotional responses to, or the things that have felt “important”. (18:45) This search for who you are, is what a lot of people are on.

An Immense World
We live in such an immense world. The belief that humans are a superior race and are built to rule all is not true just because we’ve invaded everything. Today we’ll talk more about what’s going on in not our world, and what we’re missing. Have a listen. Highlights: We are so dependent on our eyes, We are so dependent on our eyes because they are the most delicate of our senses. (4:00) Across the board, humans aren’t really doing much difference, except in terms of quality. (13:20) There is something that we’re calling life that is massively varied, all of which is experiencing itself in a variety of ways that we humans can’t even understand and yet we have the hubris to believe that we are the reason for all of it and that we are more important and better than the rest of it when there’s so many places where we fall short and so many things we do not see. (15:30) There’s so much that we don’t understand about reality, so much that we are missing because our senses are set up to help our species survive the way that this species does.

How Emotions Are Made
Today, we’re going to think about what’s really going on when you tell somebody that your day was good, or when you feel sad. Although it might seem like just a simple feeling, there’s more to it than that. Have a listen. Highlights: They were creating stories about how they were marred when in reality they weren’t, and that goes back to, what are we creating with our own thoughts. (11:50) These experiences are built out of a brain that’s just pulling information from the body that it happens to be sitting in. (14:25) It’s a lot easier to live in a world where you already know what’s going on. (35:25) Emotions are not a reflection reality at all, it is your brain’s best guess about how it should respond to the situation.

Homo Whatiens?
Lee had the question; what is a human? A big bundle of nerves and tissue or some higher and wiser being on this planet? Today we’ll talk more about it. Have a listen. Highlights: From the very beginning, human cells are bejng supported by bacteria. (14:15) People are too busy saying we are meant to dominate nature, when really, we are at the mercy of nature the entire time.k (14:45) A human is never existent without the environment it’s in. (18:20) If we hold our body in such a way that doesn’t make viruses and bacteria the enemy, what could be possible? (30:00) Human is a category, but what does it mean to be you?

On Your Nerves
Today we’re talking a little about an experience we had with the human nervous system. Maybe we’ll get on somebody’s nerves a little, maybe not. Have a listen. Highlights: This whole collection of nerves is providing your human experience. (4:15) Even as he’s dead, he treats him with the utmost respect. (13:00) The identification of one’s self with the body, on one level, creates a possibility for experience, but on another level, it creates a trap inside that experience. (29:30) The whole nervous system was almost mapped out like a tree. (31:30) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Eat Food
With all the clamoring voices declaring the latest health fads and superfoods, so many of which seem to be in contradiction to each other, how is one to know what to do? Do we follow the simple advice of Michael Pollan (Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.)? Or do we micro measure every morsel for optimum productivity and neurological function? Lots to discuss, and, as always, with an eye to making things simpler. Have a listen. Highlights: Nowadays you can walk into almost anywhere and see the teenagers have all the signs of being youthful, but there’s something off with their physique. (5:50) There are a lot of experts today that claim to know what health is. But when I step back and look at it, it just seems to be that what we’re claiming health is, is really distorted. (9:25) People define freedom as the ability to do whatever you want to do, but I’ve suggested the following definition; that freedom is the ability to not do what you don’t want to do. (21:29) It doesn’t have so much to do with your genetics, but the way you learned to eat. So if you change the way you eat, you can actually change what the outcomes are.

Holiday or Hellidays?
With the crazy season upon us, don’t let that be something to take the happiness away. So many people feel they have more responsibility and expectations on them because of the chaos of holidays. Today we’ll talk about that more. Have a listen. Highlights: Everybody has expectations for a holiday when they don’t have expectations for an average Tuesday. (2:50) With traditions, is this the kind of experience that you want to have, or are you just putting yourself on autopilot and trying to knuckle through the holiday? (8:25) It’s almost like saying, “take a holiday from the holiday”. (27:30) The holidays are a chance for everyone to catch their breath, not just one person.

Uncompromising Intimacy (w/ Alexandra Stockwell, MD)
I periodically get people asking me if we do couples' counseling. While we have worked with a number of couples, it's usually one at a time. So I decided to bring on a guest whose approach to bringing what she calls "everyday eroticism" into a marriage that still has to wash the dishes and get the kids off to school, might just be what turns the tides for you. Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is an author, physician, and personal coach turned relationship guide and is here to share her wisdom. Have a listen. Highlights: Understanding gives you enough framework to feel safe to have different experiences. (6:55) People don’t honor the “I just knew” piece enough. It’s a feeling in your system, it’s not an intellectual problem with a person, it’s the only thing your body could make sense of. (8:45) You have no chance of creating what you want if you don’t know what you want. (23:00) I think the way to be human is to eliminate the taboo as much as we can and be integrated with all the elements that we get to express in a marriage. (47:10) You can find out more about Alexandra's work, her book, and her podcast at https://www.alexandrastockwell.com Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

The Fast Episode
Fasting isn't the hungry problem that I always thought it was growing up. Although the hunger may set in at some point, it isn't a "no pain, no gain" situation. Today, we'll talk about that more. Have a listen. Highlights: Even though I felt great, there was nothing to show a breakthrough. (11:30) What if fasting is a gift to my body to finally allow it to go through its full cycle? (14:40) Everybody’s talking about a painful death, but your body is designed to make that not happen, if at all possible. (17:50) If you give somebody a promise of something that they haven’t experienced, they’ll make believe what those words mean without realizing that those words connect to something already in their experience.

Faith as Focus
What is faith? Inside of all the confusing definitions, descriptions and depictions, let’s look at faith as focus. Let’s see faith as where you put your attention. Today, we’ll talk about that a little more. Have a listen Highlights: People ask where is god in this and the response is where do you want him to be in this? Let him be everywhere. Why does he need to be in one little pocket. (2:00) If your focus shifts, that doesn’t mean you lack faith, it just means that you’re interested in something else and your focus has shifted. (10:20) My focus was, I want to live a full life. The life that I feel in my bones that I came here to live. And if I put my focus there, unwavering, what might happen? (15:00) If you don’t train your brain to focus on the things that matter to you and that build life and vitality, then how is your body going to know to do that on autopilot?

Commitment to Freedom
Throughout the years, the biggest ingredient I've found that determines whether a person finds freedom or not is what I'll call "commitment". Not commitment in the sense of making promises, but a drive to "make this work". That drive is what led me to my own freedom. It's not the only ingredient, but definitely one of the biggest players. So let's look at it. Could it possibly be that the main reason we fail is because we are more committed to our story, our comforts, our victimhood, our traumas, our triggers, our diagnoses, and our pains than we are to creating a life of freedom? Could that be the real obstacle? Have a listen. Highlights: I just admit that I cannot do for somebody, what only they can do for themselves. (10:10) To put MD after your name, makes people automatically assume that you’re an expert on the subject that you’re teaching. Even if that’s not the case. (14:00) The experience we’re giving is also transmitting how to live a good life from your previous one. (32:40) Are you willing to embrace that your feelings and thoughts could have been wrong because you’re finally more committed to letting go of the pain, than being right? (36:50) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Rehab Recon (Part 2)
Here comes the second half of Amber’s inside look at what really happens inside a good rehab center. This time, we’ll also discuss what else might help. Highlights: Your life was built to be you. A unique expression of life on this planet that has never been here before and never will be again. (4:00) Most people struggle not because they’re stupid and don’t understand something, but because the rest of their body hasn’t gotten it yet. (19:30) When you’re taking a medication, you’re inserting chemistry into your body to force that chemistry into a different space. (20:30) The people that are the lowest on the totem pole, they start going to other places for help. It’s drinks and drugs and pornography and when they’re beaten down from that, they’ll find somebody else who will lift them up and in those places they’re being molded until they almost form a different breed of human. (29:15) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Rehab Recon (Part 1)
Amber joins us today for an insider's look at what really goes on at a rehab center. From the schedule, to the therapy, to the classes, there’s lots to talk about, including why the success rates are as low as they are across the board and what can be done to turn that around. Have a listen. Highlights: So alcohol became an escape, and at a certain point it became a catastrophe. (6:40) Why is it called recreational therapy, why not just play ? (17:25) The thing I’ll say is that therapy got me through. It didn’t get me over my troubles, but it got me through. (31:10) Everything that you encounter in your life is going to change the function and neurology and synaptic patterns and everything else going on inside you. Pinning that on addiction only is a bit dishonest. (39:35) I’m not worried about sobriety. Only addicts are worried about sobriety. I’m a human being.

Objections from the Pros?
Over the time that I have been building and running my business, there have been a good number of arguments made against me and why anything I do won't work. So, today we'll just run over a few of them. Have a listen. Highlights: Therapists consider it unethical to get peoples hopes up and say that it’s possible to get over depression and anxiety without medication. (7:25) People argue that I’m not a licensed therapist and I say, I know. Thats why I can do what I do. (10:10) Doctors are too busy labeling what’s happening instead of seeing what’s there. (29:35) There’s things that we can do with stuff that we can see, taste, touch and smell. There’s nothing we can do with a theory. As soon as you believe that theory is real, then it’s a fight against a phantom. (31:20) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Your Bag of Tricks
Today lets talk about your bag of tricks. All these little tips and tricks that are available at anytime because they come from you. Go ahead, have a listen. Highlights: When people take bits and pieces from other material, sometimes they’re cobbling all the little pieces together and in the end they don’t get to enjoy that it’s not just a puzzle, but a picture also. (4:00) When you’re in the here and now, you do not experience anxiety. Anxiety is a future oriented thing. (7:10) Being so focused on doing something right means not just doing the thing. Doing something right is not doing the thing. (11:50) Just by turning a conclusion (an ending) into a beginning (a quest or a question) a whole new world of inquiries opens up.

Devil's Advocate
In spirit of upcoming Halloween, Lee is playing devil's advocate with some common questions that we get in mind. Have a listen. Highlights: It’s not uncommon for a human being to have assumed that because another person uses a word that their familiar with, that therefore they know everything about that word and subject and can pronounce their opinion on it. (3:15) Assuming that I have to understand your struggles in order for you to let them go is such a big misconception. (10:45) I don’t deny what happened in my life, but I don’t suffer it. (20:25) Diagnoses are just a snapshot in time of how you are doing at the moment. (26:10) Don’t let good experiences be a mountain top experience, let it be the base line.

Built For Freedom For You
Today, Lee decides to air his opinions about The Freedom Specialist — "You were operating like a non-profit without any of the benefits of being a non-profit." It's what led us to actually create Built for Freedom as a non-profit to be able to offer help and support to people who aren't in a position to afford that on their own. If you'd like to join us in offering scholarships for those in need, you can donate here . Highlights: I didn’t realize that I knew something valuable, and when someone pointed it out in a pointed fashion, I went for it. (13:20) These are people that are trying to learn self-defense in order to protect themselves, but I’m teaching it in a way that you cease to become a target in the first place. (14:15) Freedom can spread like a virus. A freedom virus. (23:20) We’re not trying to change the medical industry or the psychology industry. This is something totally different. (31:10) This basically eliminates the notion of problems by teaching people how to live so powerfully that what they used to call problems, evaporate on their own because their entire life is just blossoming.

Conative Strengths
School is one example of a social institution where some people thrive and others tank. But what if that has more to do with the way it's set up than whether some students lack the ability to learn. This was Kathy Kolbe's connundrum. Dyslexic, dysgraphic, riddled with ADHD, and a female in the mid-twentieth century is not exactly a winning formula for success. But she was determined to scientifically prove equality. What she produced has been a tremendous asset in helping our clients learn how to succeed at healing, recovery, and happiness in a way that matches their own strengths (instead of being forced to always do things the way the teacher says). It has freed them to finally be and honor themselves just as they are. Today well talk about that a little more. Have a listen. Highlights: There’s a lot of people listening that don’t realize that when they think there’s a deficit in them, they’ve really just been asked to operate differently than their own strengths. (11:10) Being burned out, hopeless, stressed, and depressed; how much of that is just you trying to be someone that you’re not? (12:00) It gave perspective on the way I operate and It gave permission to be me. (27:55) This is not an excuse to cop out on what you aren’t as familiar with, but maybe that there are other ways to do it.(29:10) Your perception of the world, your instinctive reaction to the world, is the place where freedom can be put on autopilot. And that is markedly different than Kathy's conation. (34:45) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Dear Glucose
Are you really what you eat? Most of the research seems to point that direction. At least we can say that what you put in your body has an enormous effect on how you experience your life. Meet Glucose, that wonderful saccharine molecule that has a tendency to break down arterial walls and pump the pancreas for all of its insulin. It's the bad guy in so many diets. Yet when eaten after other foods, those foods often nullify the blood glucose spikes that are the hallmark of diabetes. Simply the order the food is eaten changes that. And that's just one way to play nicely with the bad guy so Mr. Glucose doesn't bully your innards as much. Today we’ll talk about this more. Have a listen. Highlights: She’s very careful to mention that you are the scientist of your own life. If it doesn’t work, change it up. (6:20) When handling one part of the human body well, it cascades to other things. When handling two parts well, it seems to give exponential help to the body. (7:40) Making the argument that you get all these antioxidants from a big spoon of honey is not going to work when they can all be gained in a blueberry. (:) It was all sugar. It’s no longer a gas station, it’s a sugar station that happens to sell gas. (26:00) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

The Spectra
What if we could look at a diagnoses not as limitations but as possibilities like many cultures have done over the millennia? People with multiple personalities have the ability to split their emotions and other changes in the body. Yes, I said an ability. Instead of thinking on diagnosis as a disorder. Maybe we can think of it as a strength. We’ll explore more of this today. Have a listen. Highlights: The difference between somebody with multiple personality disorder, and a normal person, is that the former's personalities don’t talk to each other. (7:15) We had a client who claimed to have OCD. So we did a cognitive test on them and they were high in facts and structure. So what if it’s not a disorder, but instead a strength? (12:05) Back then the answer was to cast out people with multiple personalities. To put them through some kind of experience that maybe un-fractured the mind a little. (22:20) A person with different personalities, has many different personas and masks. The fact that they can take them off at will is amazing (24:55) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Question Everything???
As my dad battles his cancer, his doctors are prescribing him with more and more pain meds. But as they give him the substances to shut off his pain signals, they aren’t even questioning whether or not this is adding to the massive bowel obstruction seen on his CT scan. Nor are they even considering any option that is not a drug to alleviate his pain Yet I show up and give him simple things to do to ramp up his own internal pain killers. These are things "pain doctors" should know, but instead they give me a quizzical look like I'm an alien. All because they aren't questioning whether or not the method they're used to is the only or even best way So today we’ll talk about the possibility that comes from being willing to question. Have a listen. Highlights: There’s lots of places where people just swallow the information instead of questioning. (8:30) None of them have ever experienced it. And that led to the question, “Why am I listening to them if their answers will only ever keep me on the roller coaster?" (12:25) What we’re dealing with is your biology. What we’re dealing with is the comfort of your system, and how your mind makes sense of that. (13:50) Doctors are trained to never suggest that they don’t know what’s going on. (30:45) It was a really hard thing for this man to even question his own practice. (34:40) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

What Do I Do When...?
Let's get real about what it feels like when emotions and behaviors take over. When that happens, what do you do? Today we’ll also talk about questioning things. Not necessarily everything, but all the things that, when questioned, add up to a lot more freedom. Have a listen. Highlights: Question everything. If it’s helpful and useful to you, then question it. (14:00) In any conflict, there’s ten fights and nine of them are going on inside yourself. (21:25) If there’s somebody that’s saying “I’ve had a worse life”, I won’t deny that. But what do you want to do now? (26:00) In the moment that “I don’t know if I can let this go” is said, then nothing is being let go. But once it is questioned, then it has already been let go.

Is Angustia Sin?
Lee brought up the question “is angustia sin?” Angustia is the constriction brought by chemicals in the body from their experiences. Sin is something offencive against moral law. So when you experience something that is against your own morals and your own laws and you feel that disappointment, or that constriction, you feel angustia. Today we’ll explore that more. Have a listen. Highlights: The more experience and interaction there is with certain concepts, the more the brain can fine tune its understanding of the world. (26:30) When sin enters into a being, the PH levels change and they cause changes in the body that are “leading toward death”. (27:10) When you get down to the bottom, a person experiences their sin in angustia. When the life is being squeezed out of their body by themselves. (39:15) If karma is taken as “what goes around comes around”, and somebody does good in order to get good in return, but they don’t get that good, they’ll experience disappointment. Which is angustia, which is sin. (39:40) The idea that life is a byproduct is a great way to measure whether or not what you are doing is in harmony with the life that you are.

Transformation Through Turmoil
As we get older and spend more time on this planet, we often create and experience what might be dubbed turmoils and trauma. But these aren’t always bad. These biologically intense experiences often create tensions, emotional patterns, and behaviors. As a result, we unwittingly change our instinctive reaction to life. But this doesn't always have to be an accident. Consciously creating those kinds of experiences while also deliberately redirecting the response in the body generated what might be dubbed "positive trauma", or what one author and researcher calls transformation through turmoil. Today we’ll talk more about this. Have a listen. Highlights: If trauma is defined as a seed idea at a time during physical or biological intensity, then there’s no need to call it good or bad. (8:45) “Do you know the type of intensity and care that has an intention that is good for you?” (15:30) Being grateful for not just the results, but the process of trauma as well, was refreshing. (17:25) There are ways to court this conscious discomfort. (29:00) Oftentimes, the way out is in. In resisting discomfort, we are keeping it around.

Movement as Medicine
As humans, we inevitably create tension patterns in our body from experiences we’ve had and the way we’ve lived. Those tension patterns can show up in all sorts of situations, from the way we talk, all the way down to the way we walk. Using new and different movement to mess with those tensions and put a “disturbance in the force” is a ridiculously simple method that can free us from these tensions. Those movements also have the added benefit of revealing all the other patterns we’ve created. We’ll explore this a little more today. Have a listen. Highlights: Any lever in the body will effect something, so let’s pull the practical ones. (11:40) It’s impossible to lie and hide what’s on the inside. It’s like whack-a-mole, it’ll just pop out another hole. (13:20) On the second day of retreats we have the guys move in various ways to get rid of their physically rigid form, and that will translate to their mentally rigid form. (16:20) Start breathing before the movement, keep breathing throughout the movement, and continue breathing after so that the breath becomes an envelope. (19:45) Hard work is not a virtue. It may be required from time to time, but it’s not a virtue. It’s taxing on the body, and the body doesn’t want it. (23:30) When the movement can be something that is smooth and powerful, there’s more power with less effort, and your body doesn’t suffer the consequences.

Mindful Malfunctions
We all know that feeling when you’re watching a movie and you feel the stress and the tension just like the character on the screen. This is your body creating a tension pattern around something that you subconsciously enjoy. There are many things people do to control these states — like chants or meditations — but not all of these are beneficial. None are better or worse than others, but they aren’t always everything they are cracked up to be, despite the propaganda. Today we'll explore some things to watch out for. Have a listen. Highlights: Every human life seems to have a different expression of human-ness (2:00) Whatever activity you engage with, however good or bad, it is conditioning your mind and your body to function in a certain way. (7:40) You didn’t break your brain, you just taught your body an uncontrolled skill (9:40) If you are training and then the army invades, and you’re exhausted, then your training didn’t serve you well. (12:05) Do you want an employee that sits down for their lunch break and wakes up 13 days later? You're going to be functional in society when you're in these ecstatic meditative states. (15:35) Meditation is not designed to cope with life. It's a place where something very, very deep within a person can open up in really profound ways and you can grasp the nature of your own existence.

Adults Ask & Tell The Truth
You know that feeling when you want to ask for something but you don’t want to seem weak or helpless? Or when you feel guilty because somebody else didn’t communicate clearly and you “let them down”? These are the times when we, as adults, forget that we can actually ask for things. We spend all out time telling our kids this, and yet often don’t do it ourselves. It might surprise you how freeing it is to ask for things — to "use our words" — instead expending all that energy in the constant chess game of manipulating other humans, holding expectations, and then hoping people read your mind and do what you want. Just ask. Here's more on that. Have a listen. Highlights: Alive and Free go hand in hand. The more life you have flowing through your body, the more alive you will feel and the more free you will feel, regardless of your circumstances. (1:50) We set up this expectation that if somebody really loves me then I shouldn’t have to communicate what I want from them. (6:45) I’m too lazy to care enough about the other person to communicate effectively with them and then I want to blame them for lack of communication. (14:40) You don’t actually love people. You love the idea of them, and when they don’t measure up to your idea you get upset about it. (17:00) There is some courage in putting yourself out there and appearing vulnerable (8:50) When you are honest, you have the most power in any room. Everybody else is busy trying to manipulate other people into believing them. (20:35) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Our Universe
People told me from the time I was little that the universe was created either by a big bang or by some outside, greater force. And (because I was little) I never really thought to question that. But what happens if, instead of just accepting every "fact" just because someone bigger or older says it's a fact, we take a second to pause and actually see if they are useful ways to see the world? That journey — allowing yourself to question everything that has been told to you — can sometimes feel scary, but it opens the door to better solutions than the ones that haven't been working. It also frees you from being sucked in or duped by another authority, documentary, news reel, or even research study. It gives you the ability to see life with your own two eyes instead of always having to look through the eyes of others. So let's challenge some "facts" today, shall we? Some BIG ones. And then see how that relates to your freedom from trauma, addiction, depression, pain, and so much more. Have a listen. Highlights: Nobody has witnessed any of these explanations, they’re just theories attempting to explain what we don’t know. (4:25) Nobody is right, the question is whether it’s useful to you in your life. (19:05) That’s where the religions that have stuck around have flourished. They’ve been useful enough to people that they have some staying power. (19:15) It’s important to question any narrative that you’ve been given. (21:20) When I speak from my own experience and don’t exaggerate, people don’t try to argue. (34:25) Build your life from your own experiences and then borrow whatever is useful to you from other people instead of believing it because of their authority.(35:30) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

How Rocks Are Made and Why It Matters
Sometimes we have these emotional rocks — literally, these are crystallized bits of ammonia, lactic acid, and other chemistry just sitting in our system. Leftovers from previous emotional soups run dry and not cleaned from the pot. Those "rocks" form because of the way your body instinctively responds at a molecular level to changes in your environment or situation. You might feel this as stress, ecstasy, anger, or even bliss, but what's really happening are that a bunch of neurons and cells are caught in a habitual chain reaction. And if not allowed flow through you and out, if resisted or suppressed in some way, those chain reactions persist. That's the key. Resisting, interpreting, and giving meaning to all those reactions repeatedly trains your system to create it as a shortcut. Today, we get to explore a bit about breaking the rock cycle. Have a listen. Highlights: If you don’t clean out your body you just have a bunch of emotional soups that are left in there. (8:30) Your body is basically a walking Petri dish because of all the little bacteria and things in it. (16:25) There isn’t a root issue with you, there is just a state that your body is in and your brain's interpretation of that state. (17:30) If your body doesn’t change its state, then it's feeding the brain the same information to build with. (18:35) The rocks of your body form out of the soup of the emotions that are inside of the system. (21;40) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

The Breath of Life
A breath of fresh air is more than just the smell of trees, grass, and ozone? That one action is one of the fastest ways to mix up the chemistry in your body and create a completely different experience of life. It’s a very simple, direct, and even easy process at times. Because how you feel is directly tied to your internal chemistry. We had a client with anxiety who needed a change. Someone constantly anxious. Someone getting the creepy feeling like there were people in his house even when he knew that nobody was there. And with a just little bit of breath work he began to feel amazing. We're talking minutes here. Because with a few adjustments to how you breathe, you can power up your body, think more clearly, calm yourself down, and even eliminate pain. Today, we get to explore that a bit more. Have a listen. Highlights: As I learned to breath better I became more aware of my body. (11:04) Where you agitate the breath or where you don’t agitate it will create a different effect in the breathing and the body. (17:25) This is a guy with lots of anxiety and after some breath work, he feels amazing .(21:20) Breathing changed him and helped clear out his OCD in a week. (22:30) What we’re doing is not a pitch to help somebody, but rather an invitation to more life. (36:30) Maybe take some time today and consider the gift that you have of the breath of life.

Chasing the Carrot
What if the real answer to your situation is that there was never a problem? I mean that with things as small as “he took my toy” and as big as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and the like. It’s the radical, all-in-a-moment shift in perception that makes just about every problem vanish as quickly as it appeared. Without that, you end up endlessly chasing the next carrot and building an unpaid career in healing that never promises retirement. Nearly two decades training and teaching kung fu taught me about chasing the carrot. From lengthy sequences of movements to small little death points, there’s always something else that you need to master or some ancient technique that was “long forgotten”. But those are for the black belts. Or the next belt. And if you don’t keep at it, you’ll miss out. Major FOMO. Same thing happens with the latest new-fangled healing modality or whizbang medical breakthrough. You need this, or you must have that. But do you really? The answer to that lies in looking at your situation again and seeing through all the competing voices to what’s really going on. Do that, and all the unnecessary carrots vanish like the mirages they are. Today, we get to explore that a bit more. Have a listen. Highlights: In order to keep you going, the industry had to keep you aware that there was more. (6:55) In order to make you feel like you need something, advertising corporations show you something that makes you think your life is miserable. (11:36) If you can’t be happy when you aren’t married then you’re never going to be truly happy when you are married. In fact, that makes it worse (12:12) What is the life that is within me asking for? Not, “What does everyone say it should have?” (20:25) If you can’t explain it to a six year old then you don’t understand it yourself (34:40) The chase ends not when you solve the problem or fix yourself, but when you realize you were never broken in the first place.

Let The Body Learn It
Perry came to us as a videographer, not a client. He filmed retreats for us for 4 years until finally asking for some of the physical work we do to help him out. This is a guy who has run yoga retreats, explored all sorts of personal growth work, experienced a vast array of psychedelics, and deeply gets the link between the mind and the body. Yet still, he said afterward, “I thought I understood what you guys do, but I didn’t realize just how deep it was.” That’s what happens when you bypass the mind and work both directly AND deeply with the body. Things change fast. Because all our mental and emotional issues are built on the state of the body. Change that, you change everything. Have a listen. Highlights: People are hungry to know how their body works and not have to rely on a book they read or anything else (7:20) By the time he got up it was like the facade had fallen and there was a real person sitting in front of me (10:25) If you’re talking about a broken person, there’s no such thing. If they were they’d be dead (11:55) Once someone puts a label on what I’m doing, they think they understand, and they discount it (14:20) It’s the body, not the mind, that experiences the change, and it rises up and discovers it’s not lacking, not weak. (24:25) It only seems impossible because you’re looking at it from your history, not from your possibility (26:15) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Freedom Inside of Conflict
Here’s something that will make you challenge everything you believe you know: The real reason why there’s so much anxiety, or depression, or pain, or frustration, or stress, or fear, or anger in your life is NOT because something’s broken inside you. Or because something’s “wrong” with you. The real reason is because you probably never trained in conflict. So when conflict shows up, you do your best and exhibit the above emotions. And you know what? By training yourself in conflict, you can figure out how to be free of conflict. You can even find joy in conflict, and banish these nasty emotions without any other work or effort. And this creates a freedom to feel joy surge through your body at every moment in the day. In this episode, you’ll discover how to unlock this kind of freedom inside of conflict and live the rest of your life in immense joy. Listen now. Show Highlights Include: The oddball “narrate your life” trick for never getting road rage again (1:54) The “Martial Arts for Healing” method for erasing your trauma through roughhousing and play fighting (9:16) Why the root cause of all your suffering is from conflict (and how you can create freedom and joy inside conflict) (10:10) The “pride is punched” secret for unlocking joy even when you’re being physically attacked (12:21) How taking blame for the conflicts you find yourself in liberates you from them (16:19) The “Functional Meditation” technique I reveal at retreats which lets you bring a meditative quality to everyday life (21:08) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

ADHD? Really?
Labels and diagnoses, from ADHD to codependency and every one in between, usually limits your potential. For example, I recently discovered that I probably have ADHD. But since I never labeled myself as ADHD or have gotten an official diagnosis that I have ADHD, it’s been a super power for me instead of a way to victimize myself. The problem is, most people don’t operate like this. They get labeled an addict, then falsely believe that they’re an addict forever. It strips the power from them instead of empowering them. The solution? Challenge all of your narratives, even the ones you created. Because there’s a chance you’re limiting yourself instead of tapping into your natural super powers. In this episode, you’ll discover how to challenge your narratives and unlock the pent-up super powers you already have inside you. Listen now. Show Highlights Include: The counterintuitive way creating habits to get into a “flow state” can leave you more distracted and less productive (0:51) Why the ADHD population is the most underserved community on Earth (and how to use it as an unfair advantage for life) (5:34) How thinking of your ADHD as “otherabled” lets you unlock the super powers it can give you (7:58) Why the mentality of modern education makes you think your strengths are weaknesses (10:09) The insidious way labeling yourself gives you a negative perception of yourself that lasts for decades (11:34) Why taking a problem solver test (like the Kolbe test) gives you a better insight into how you operate through life than a personality test (20:40) How starting your day by creating a “Not To Do” list can boost your productivity and make your happiness soar (25:38) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

What A Masterpiece!
The concept of “healing” might sound appealing, but it’s actually a dangerous trick in disguise. Why? Well, it means you have to believe something is wrong with you in the first place, otherwise healing would never interest you. And when you let healing lure you in like a worm on a fishing rod it can actually create more misery, shame, and suffering. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You don’t have to “fix” or “heal” anything. Instead, you could just be done with that “masterpiece” of your life, and start painting a brand-new canvas, free from your past mistakes and trauma. How do you do this? In this episode, I reveal the counterintuitive way to stop judging yourself for your past, and how this unveils a new beauty in life. Listen now. Show Highlights Include How diving deep into art forces you to see the hidden beauty in life (1:29) The insidious “fix me” trap you can fall into on your healing journey which actually heightens your misery (6:53) The “Masterpiece” mindset shift for becoming oddly grateful for your past traumas, addictions, and suffering (9:04) How writing your own eulogy can help you set down the worst things from your past and start a new life (16:27) Do you shame yourself for your mistakes? Here’s why celebrating them instead frees you from them instead of imprisoning you to them (24:32) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Let's Talk About Parasites
There’s an invisible world living beneath your skin. It controls your emotions, mood, cravings, and can even alter your entire personality. What’s this invisible world that can hijack your very experience of life itself? Parasites! Now, I don’t say this to creep you out or give you a reason to shift blame onto these nasty single cell organisms, but to offer you hope: Whatever you’re dealing with now that’s lowering your quality of life, could be the result of parasites. And that is empowering because there are things you can do to rid yourself of these parasites. In this episode, you’ll discover how much control parasites have over your body, your feelings, your thoughts, and more. And I reveal some simple (and some complicated) ways to rid yourself of these life-lowering parasites. Listen now.

Accelerants
A while back, Jasmine and I considered ending our marriage. At the time, I was in a weird depressive funk, which is no place to decide on what to do in a relationship. Now, I wasn’t depressed, but I was stuck. I didn’t know what the point of life was. And I lost all motivation. So, I decided to try ketamine therapy. Well, I discovered a ton of interesting insights throughout my 6 session ketamine therapy, including how it accelerated these feelings of disillusionment I was feeling. In this episode, I reveal my insights, so you can decide if ketamine therapy can work as an accelerant for your life too. Listen now. Show Highlights Include Thinking about trying ketamine therapy? Here’s how to decide if it makes sense for you (10:55) Why being in a weird depressive funk where you lose all motivation is a crucial step towards complete bliss (14:51) How disillusionment allows your life to move forward without your ego, personality, or any other baggage getting in your way (16:39) How resistance to new situations can masquerade itself as anger (21:22) Why the biggest obstacle and source of judgment in your life is your own name (22:24) How to use ketamine therapy as an accelerant for overcoming difficult life problems (and why ketamine therapy alone may not help) (24:33) The “Positive Trauma” secret for swapping out your suffering with joy (35:40) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Past Wrongs?
Do you want to be a victim of your own memory? The unfortunate truth is, while unwilling to admit it, most people kind of like being a victim of their memory. Why? Well, it’s comfortable and it absolves you of responsibility for things that happened in your life that you didn’t like. But it comes with a steep cost: When you're a victim of your own memory, you cannot live every moment of your life in complete joy. Your past traumas and suffering haunt you relentlessly. And it fills you with misery. Here’s the good news: You can stop being a victim of your own memory—as soon as today. All it requires is questioning your memories, and the stories you told yourself about those memories. And in this episode, you’ll discover how to challenge your memories—even your most traumatizing ones—and delete them from your “code.” Want to live every moment of your life in complete bliss, free from your past (and your future)? Listen now. Show Highlights Include How treating life like one big, fat joke relieves your stress and boosts your joy (even during tough times) (0:53) The too-obvious observation that sounds silly but gives you a life jacket that can pull you out of anxiety and depression (2:03) Why questioning your thoughts about the future can instantly suffocate your suffering (4:15) The insidious way “pasting” and “futuring” puts your misery on steroids (5:55) How to make yourself grateful for annoying problems that pop up in your life like blowing a tire (6:42) Why embracing freedom can transform what would’ve been an anxiety-inducing situation into a fun experience (8:04) How you can literally “rewrite” your past and delete your traumas from your psyche with the GPS technique (11:25) The “memory doesn’t exist” mindset shift for freeing yourself from a haunting past (12:05) Why your memories are set up in your brain to predict future things—not accurate representations of your past (and how this enables you to experience bliss in every moment) (25:20) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Killing the Buddha
In the Buddhist religion, masters would tell their students that if they saw the Buddha, they should kill him. Why? Well, the authorities that you revere are your last obstacle towards achieving true freedom. If you’re still letting them influence you, you’re not using your own eyes and ears, which can lead you down a path of judgment and suffering. By “killing the Buddha,” you become the author in your life, with the ability to change your life’s experience from negative and dark to positive and vibrant. In this episode, we’re discussing the last “Adventure” of my new book, Built for Freedom. You’ll discover how to kill the Buddha, how to unlock an endless source of joy, and how to leave all your suffering in the past. Listen now. Show Highlights Include The “Kill the Buddha” secret for finally overcoming your final obstacle towards achieving real freedom (1:19) The insidious way idealizing someone subconsciously creates negative experiences of life for you (even if the person you idealize has improved your life) (4:17) Why pursuing happiness will always keep it just out of reach (and how to make it naturally arise inside you instead) (6:11) The “Happiness Happens” mindset shift to stop chasing approved from others and unlock blissful peace (7:53) How to radically change the way you see yourself for the rest of your days by reading this book (19:48) Why the only thing standing in your way of unlocking ultimate joy and peace in your life is simply learning a few basic (and fun) skills (21:58) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Becoming An Experitus
We have several tour guides throughout our lives. Our parents, our teachers, our mentors, and our friends. When used correctly, these tour guides steer you down creating your own path, and becoming an experitus. But the problem many people face is that they lose their own experiences in the process of bouncing from tour guide to tour guide. The result? Your tour guides become stumbling blocks, introducing more pain and suffering into your life instead of freeing you from it. But at some point, life’s all on you. And, as you’ll discover in today’s episode, that’s great news. Because it means you—and you alone—have the power to change your life, replace your negativity with positivity, and experience true freedom and joy. Want to know the secret for becoming your own experitus and watching your freedom and joy jump through the roof? Listen now. Show Highlights Include The “expert of your life” mindset tweak for instantly boosting your self-esteem and joy (2:25) The special “BBP Experience” which trumps every other kind of experience and enables you to get rid of decades of trauma in 4 days (3:01) How learning from “experts” actually makes it harder to internalize the lesson (and what to do instead) (4:36) Why you don’t actually learn from your experiences unless you do this key thing afterwards (11:51) The “Experience Over Thinking” secret for resetting your mental habits and changing your default state from negativity to positivity (15:46) How “aha moments” and brilliant insights are the true enemies to making actual change (17:28) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

The Human Effect
“What entertains you, trains you.” It’s a pithy quote I’ve repeated often on this show, but there’s also hardcore scientific evidence that proves this phenomenon is true. For example, in science, there’s what’s known as the placebo effect, and the nocebo effect. Both of these phenomenons prove that your thoughts can alter your reality—both in positive and negative ways. Here’s what that means for you in your life: You are in the driver’s seat. You have complete control over the experiences you want to have. And the experiences you don’t want to have. You just have to pay attention to what’s training you. Take suffering for example. It’s not a fact of life, but it happens. And it’s an option. But most people don’t realize there are other options available too. In this episode, we dive into the 8th chapter from my brand-new book, and reveal how much control you have over your thoughts and feelings. And how to pick more positive options instead of drowning in your suffering. Listen now. Show Highlights Include: The “Placebo/Nocebo Effect” for bending reality to your will and unlocking a deeper sense of peace (1:18) The weird reason why your own name can cause your trauma to attack you (2:12) How social institutions subtly brainwash you to hyperfocus on negative things instead of looking for the positive things we’re surrounded by (6:11) Why your thoughts alone about a past experience can morph it from a positive one to a negative one (and vice versa) (10:44) How physiological experiences can wipe out lifelong trauma in mere minutes (10:59) The scientific mechanism which proves—beyond a shadow of a doubt—that your thoughts change the way your body operates (14:07) The strange “religion as a technology” secret for feeling better and even living longer (17:03) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

The Rorschach Condundrum
There are a lot of similarities between pain (even chronic pain) and emotions. But the most important similarity is this: Your pain and emotions are an opinion!

In this episode, you’ll discover why pain is just an opinion your brain has, and how this makes it easier to overcome your pain. Listen now.

The Ultraviolet Catastrophe
We’re suckers for authority. We see someone in a white lab coat, and immediately think they know all the answers. But reality doesn’t typically play out how they say: Take Amber for example, a featured guest on this episode. She battled chronic pain for years, got prescribed pain pills, and shortly became addicted to them. When she realized she was done taking pain pills, she quit cold turkey. And the next time she went to her doctor—someone she likes as a person, mind you—he told her that quitting pain pills cold turkey could’ve killed her. Well, it didn’t. And we do this in our own lives too: with therapy, with visits to the doctor, by reading self-help books, and even by scrolling WebMD only to convince ourselves we’re dying. The truth is, authority isn’t always right. In fact, it tends to be wrong a lot of the time. And this is dangerous because at the end of the day, we’re our own ultimate authority figure. While it may seem like bad news, it’s not. Because this empowers us to make positive changes by simply questioning authority. And in this episode, you’ll discover how to do just that to free yourself from addiction, misery, pain, and suffering. Listen now. Show Highlights Include Why we’re predisposed to believe anything from an authority speaker’s lips (even if its dead wrong and causes more suffering) (5:41) The insidious way pain pills promise to make you better for your family (and how to quit them cold turkey when you realize they aren’t serving you) (8:12) The “Slippery Slope” reason why pain pills can help you one day, then overwhelm you with addictive tendencies the next (9:22) How doctors prescribe you life-changing pills off conclusions from the data, not the data itself (and why understanding this distinction helps you break free from addiction) (12:48) The”experience” mindset shift which instantly turns emotions generally considered as bad into fun roller coaster rides (16:11) The weird way watching Inglourious Basterds can help you blow up your trauma—for good—in a fiery explosion (18:37) The “beyond the Milky Way” secret that unlocks an infinite amount of hope that your addiction is not permanent (20:30) How the stories you tell yourself can dupe you into thinking you have full-blown kidney disease (even if you’re perfectly healthy) (24:23) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Bichloride of Gold
Society has been brainwashed into believing a lie. This falsehood has caused more addiction, pain, and suffering than perhaps any other lie in history. But the good news is: It’s a lie. So, what’s the lie? The disease theory of addiction. Now, this theory has helped many people overcome their addiction, but they still aren’t freed of it because one of the tenets of this theory is that you can’t get rid of addiction. That's where the lie comes in. And in this episode, you’ll discover several reasons why it’s not only possible to free yourself from addiction—for good—but it’s also easier than you might think. Want to experience a life that’s not driven by your addiction? Listen now. Show Highlights Include The one single “lie” everybody believes which ruins all the life in you (1:25) Why the therapy industry itself is broken (even if it’s helped you overcome some issues) (3:03) How propaganda borne the idea of “addiction” (and how understanding this makes it 100x easier to conquer your addictions) (4:45) The insidious way the “Disease Model of Addiction” traps addicts into a vicious cycle of addiction (and why this theory is dead wrong) (6:09) The “Symptoms Underneath” secret for addressing and erasing embarrassing or shameful addictions like pornography (10:44) The “ABLE” system for unlocking the power to turn up and down the volume of any problem or emotion you’re facing (20:19) The weird way to stop fighting with your spouse and develop a stronger sense of communication by simply leaning back when arguments pop up (22:17) How your belief alone can cause cancerous tumors to disappear and come back (and how to use this fact to free yourself from addiction) (32:59) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

The Weight of a Dime
Scientists discovered that a tiny fraction of the weight of a dime creates enough pressure on your cells to force them to divide. What does that mean for healing yourself from decades of suffering and trauma? Well, it only takes a little nudge of pressure, applied in correct places, to free you from your decades-long misery. Yes, it can be that simple. In fact, when I speak of “Stick Work” that I do at Freedom Specialist Retreats, this is why it can completely liberate you from your trauma in mere moments. In this episode, we examine Chapter 3 from my newest book, Built for Freedom, and how to use your body and pressure to eliminate your deepest held traumas. Listen now. Show Highlights Include Why letting your fear fuel you drowns you in suffering (and how to free yourself of fear instead) (2:52) The “Stick Work” secret of jabbing a stick into your ribs that liberates your problems almost instantly (4:08) Why you can leave therapy feeling like a million bucks yet still haunted by old feelings (9:45) How treating your body like a glorified instrument relaxes both your physical and mental stress (13:45) Why tension can create either misery or bliss in your body and mind (and how to use it for bliss more often) (15:08) The bizarre way being punched can unleash pent-up emotion lurking in your body and free you from it (17:28) Why you can change your nasty negative thoughts in mere moments (even if you’re suffered through decades of deep trauma) (26:20) The insidious “Re-Traumatizing Effect” therapy often creates that keeps you stuck in misery and suffering (29:22) How activating your sympathetic nervous system can release years and years of trauma in a jiffy (37:34) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

27 Miles West
About 14 years ago, a plane crashed into a volcano it didn’t see because the coordinates had been two degrees off on the instrument panel. This story reminds me of the current state of therapy: Therapy’s success rates are shockingly low. In fact, even shock therapy gives you better odds. Now, it’s not because therapists are bad people, most of them have the best intentions, but they’re just two degrees off on how to solve it. Well, in this episode, we look at Chapter 2 from my newest book, Built for Freedom, and my journey for discovering a better, faster, and more effective way to conquer your addictions and trauma. Want to speed up your “healing process,” and free yourself from your past? Listen now. Show Highlights Include The insidious “Shock Therapy” trap many people fall into after a traumatic experience that they think will help, but actually increases their suffering (7:13) Why popping healing sessions like pills can result in getting help for 14 straight years without overcoming your problem (8:52) How the healing process itself can make you addicted to it and unable to ditch your past (12:33) The weird way depression can become a meditative state (and how to figure out if you secretly like your depression) (16:07) Why shock therapy actually has better odds at reducing your symptoms than most of the regular therapy modalities (17:55) The “Dancing with Fear” secret for using your fear to make you happier and more free (19:29) How blindly believing what people like Jordan Peterson or even I say is a recipe for anxiety and misery (and what to do instead) (31:47) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

A Dot on the Radar
Imagine your body is an airplane, and you have no idea how to control it, let alone fly it. Well, that’s how most of us live our lives. It’s no wonder we drown in addictions, traumas, and misery.

Dominoes (not Pizza)
When you invite freedom into your life, it creates a domino effect that seeps into every aspect of your life—for the better. Take Lee for example: By inviting freedom into his life after attending a retreat, he finally put his body at ease. Then, his mind became at ease, and he didn’t have as many dark and depressing thoughts. Next, he lost 30 pounds, then 60 pounds, then 100 pounds. Before freedom, he had sleep apnea and stopped breathing 175 times each hour. After freedom, he’s had nights where he only stops breathing 0.4 times per hour! He’s also sold his home, sold 99.5% of his possessions because they were no longer serving him, and is unquestionably the happiest he’s ever been in his life. Imagine you had a similar transformation — where joy and freedom are your defaults. And you experience a glorious cycle of your life getting better each and every day. That’s what freedom offers you. And in this episode, Lee and I break down Lee’s amazing transformation in nitty-gritty detail, so you realize positive change is more possible than you think. Listen now. Show Highlights Include How choosing freedom can help you lose 30 pounds, erase your negative thoughts, and unlock a joy-filled life (3:51) The weird way freedom can eliminate serious health problems like sleep apnea (5:19) How to “flip” your mood from gloomy and depressed to bubbly and happy with one simple question (7:01) Why your body can dupe you into feeling depressed even when you aren't (and how to notice when this happens) (8:59) How to physically rewire your brain for joy and peace instead of depression and misery (12:07) How freedom helps you feel almost 4 decades younger (14:39) The sneaky “hidden costs” of your identity and how they gradually fill you with dread and overwhelm (24:24) How purging 90% of your possessions invites freedom into your body and psyche (28:47) The “Subtracting Misery” secret for instantly boosting your happiness (without exerting any effort) (36:34) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

Octopi and Humans
Have you seen the Netflix documentary, My Octopus Teacher? Lee and I recently watched it—and it blew us away. Why? Because it puts this thing we call life into perspective. It shows you how to overcome trauma and pain without letting it consume you—and without forgetting the lessons that can help you avoid traumatic situations today. In this episode, you’ll discover how acting like an octopus may be the key to leaving your decades of trauma in the past for good. And how this helps you embrace the animalistic freedom we all secretly crave. Listen now.

Slow It Down
Every relationship is hard, whether with your spouse, kids, or friends. But we have a tendency to make our relationships harder than they actually are too. When emotions infiltrate your relationships, especially in heated conversations and arguments, it leads to compromises, hardships, and even resentment. The solution? Slowing things down to an Eeyore trot. For example, when you have an argument with your wife, you can use email to communicate about it (without sacrificing living life in the moment). Jasmine and I recently did this after I wanted to experiment with THC gummies in Colorado and she felt a certain way about it.

A Change of Heart
Most people lead their lives with their mind, not their heart. This causes unnecessary stress, worry, and anxiety. Why? Because your heart sends signals to your mind, and your mind makes up negative stories about whatever your heart’s sending you. And most people don’t realize they can lead their lives with their heart instead of their mind. But by leading your life with your heart first, you can eliminate these anxiety-inducing thoughts before they even pop up. In this episode, you’ll discover how to lead your life with your heart first, how it erases much of your suffering, and why it’ll make your life easier and happier. Listen now. Show Highlights Include The insidious way our brain makes up stories about our life (and how these stories can either be beneficial or harmful) (3:01) How thinking in terms of stories gives you gut-wrenching anxiety that makes your blood pump, your heart hammer, and blurs the beauty of life (8:41) Why believing everything your mind thinks can wreck your relationships, heighten your trauma, and make you miserable (11:06) The “Dumb It Down” secret for eliminating 90% of your anxious, worried thoughts (14:16) How simply looking into this fancy mirror can shatter all the mental projections you have about yourself (25:14) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Learning to See
Every time an event happens in our life—good, bad, or in between—our brain creates a story out of it. And since your brain is cunning and sly, it connects these made-up stories to other made-up stories in your mind. While this isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing, most people believe these stories they tell themselves are reality itself. The result? Your mind creates trauma, suffering, and misery out of thin air! Not only are these stories false, but two stories almost never have the connective tissue between them that your brain thinks they do. And by simply questioning these stories, you can free yourself from your suffering. In this episode, you’ll discover how to question these stories and unlock peace as your default state. Listen now. Show Highlights Include The insidious way our brain makes up stories about our life (and how these stories can either be beneficial or harmful) (3:01) How thinking in terms of stories makes your blood pump, your heart hammer, and blurs the beauty of life (8:41) Why believing everything your mind thinks can wreck your relationships, heighten your trauma, and make you miserable (11:06) The “Dumb It Down” secret for eliminating 90% of your anxious, worried thoughts (14:16) How simply looking into this fancy mirror can shatter all the mental projections you have about yourself (25:14) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

"How Does Bob Parent?"
Many listeners, Freedom Specialist clients, and even other Freedom Specialist coaches wonder how I parent. And admittedly, I have some weird and counterintuitive parenting strategies that might make other parents scoff, but work well for my kids and my family. For example, I don’t congratulate my kids when they create an awesome drawing. Why? Because it trains them to seek validation from outside sources. Instead, I use it as a way to help them validate themselves. And this is just one example of many. In this episode, you’ll discover my favorite parenting strategies, why I use specific techniques that sound counterintuitive, and how you can use some of my weird parenting methods to have more fun while parenting. Listen now. Show Highlights Include The counterintuitive way congratulating your children when they succeed trains them to seek outside validation when they accomplish anything (2:13) How to prevent your children from needing a participation trophy by “flipping” your compliments (4:39) 2 questions to ask your kids when they’re upset at a problem to prepare them for the real world (7:07) How solving problems for your children stunts their growth and limits their potential as adults (9:47) 3 simple parenting techniques from a mother who raised two MDs and a CEO that you can implement in your household (13:45) The insidious way helping someone can cripple them (and what to do instead) (14:55) Why watching your children struggle better prepares them for real life (even if it hurts you in the moment) (16:56) How being vulnerable as a parent helps your kids step into themselves completely and without fear (23:27) The “Playful Adventure” parenting secret for using play to teach your children responsibility (29:29) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Getting Caught
Everyone has secrets. Most of them for a good reason. But, it’ is not the same with addictions. Keeping secrets may be exactly what holds you back on your way to recovery. It’s difficult to open up about your weaknesses, regardless of how close you may be with the other person. Especially if you were raised in a strict environment, that answered your mistakes with punishment. The truth is, there is nothing inherently wrong with you, and the people in your life can support you on your way to recovery. In this episode, Lee and I will share the communication framework to talk about trauma and addiction. And why getting caught may be the deciding stepping stone on your way to heal yourself. Listen now. Show highlights include. How you hurt yourself by keeping your addiction to yourself (and how to move past that) (1:17) The simple, yet hard question you can ask yourself to protect your children from traumatic experiences (8:01) How to overcome a childhood of accumulated limiting beliefs (12:42) How to end the fear that sabotages your recovery from addiction (19:04) Why getting caught may be the greatest opportunity to turn your life around (even if the first thing you feel is shame) (27:22) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Lust or Life?
I had an experience the other day when my buddies and I went out for dinner. We saw an attractive woman, and I used it as an opportunity to understand what was going on inside my body as a result of seeing her. Most people would call the sensation I felt lust. I would too, until I started paying attention to what was actually happening. After paying attention, I realized it was not lust I was experiencing, but life itself. Here’s what I mean: Any type of energy you feel—from lust to depression and everything in between—is simply a sensation in your body. A sensation you can move anywhere else in your body, the same way you can focus on your right or left big toe. The problem most people have is we dissipate this energy without realizing it’s life itself, which results in misery, fatigue, and emptiness. But when we harness that energy and send it elsewhere, we unlock profound amounts of bliss. In this episode, you’ll discover how to transform your “negative” energies into a renewed sense of life and happiness. Listen now. Show Highlights Include The sneaky “Suppression” trap which may be the root cause of your porn addiction (and how to overcome it) (2:45) Why thinking porn is bad actually increases your chances of binge watching it (5:12) How changing your body position exterminates lust from your body (7:46) The weird way to use your lust for random strangers to grow your intimacy with your spouse (10:34) The “Sexual Sensation” secret for instantly getting rid of sexual urges (and how to use this power for depression and any other emotion) (12:14) How to unlock a new level of peace and joy and bliss by refusing to dissipate your energy (even if you think it’s a “negative” energy like lust) (19:15) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Out of Control
Most of the people who have come to a Freedom Specialist retreat—myself included—have had one thing in common: Their biggest fear is a lack of control. But this fear itself dupes you into subconsciously sabotaging everything you value in your life. It’s why relationships fall apart. It’s why you can’t get ahead in your career. And it’s why you imprison yourself in misery. And you know what? This fear—in every example I’ve ever seen—stems from being dishonest to yourself. When you’re honest with yourself, you set yourself free from this problem and open yourself up to bliss and joy. In this episode, you’ll discover how to be more honest with yourself, and why honesty may be the most important factor to your happiness. Listen now. Show Highlights Include The insidious way fearing your lack of control leads to addiction and misery (1:09) The “Anti-Jordan Peterson” approach for finding joy and hope in life instead of war and struggle (6:20) How embracing your compulsive and destructive behaviors actually helps you get rid of them (even if you think it’ll make them more pronounced) (8:04) How saying you love yourself when you don’t deteriorates your control over your life (13:23) Why eliminating “I am” phrases from your vocabulary instantly catapults your happiness and freedom (15:22) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Welcome to the Himalayas (w. Lee)
Salvation, enlightenment, and bliss. These are the experiences everyone craves. We want the 40 lb backpack of despair, addiction, and trauma lifted off our shoulders, so we can start living life to the fullest again. But how do you get there?

And a lot of people think they’re a bunch of charlatans stealing money from desperate, vulnerable, and emotional people. The correct answer isn’t what you think it is. In this episode, you’ll discover why thinking “there has to be something else” isn’t always the answer.

What Are You Pouring Your Life Into? (w. Lee)
Imagine you have a battery attached to your body. Everything you do—from eating food and working to driving and watching TV—either drains your battery or recharges it. Most people unknowingly do activities which drain the very life source from them without ever asking if those activities are worth draining their energy. Some draining activities are worth it, but are they all? On the other hand, there are certain activities that charge you up, surround you with bliss, and help you tap into the divine nature of life itself. In this episode, you’ll discover how to build your awareness, so you can swap out your most draining activities for ones that make you feel alive. The result? You’ll start to notice all the miracles happening around you without you even trying to look for them. Listen now. Show Highlights Include How meditating can charge up your life’s battery more effectively than food or water (2:24) The sneaky way worshiping food steals your happiness (5:08) Why even being around certain foods can cause your joints to ache (and how to develop this level of awareness to pour more joy into your life) (12:51) How to permanently delete all the specific problems in your life by tapping into the lifesource within you (15:17) Why tuning into your body unlocks miracles around you without you even trying (18:17) How overeating is a sign that you’re lacking love (and how to pour more love into your life without food) (19:55) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Sparrows And Labels (w: Lee)
Confronting your beliefs about life is one of the most difficult (and rewarding) things you can do. Nobody likes being wrong, let alone admitting their wrong. But what if your beliefs—whether in God, addiction, or trauma—are wrong? And what if admitting your wrong opens up a new possibility for life itself? One that can even grow you closer to God than you are now. That’s what each of the people who have come to a Freedom Specialist retreat have experienced in some form or fashion. And that’s what Lee and I discuss in today’s show. In this episode, you’ll discover how to question everything you know and how to remove the labels that are keeping you trapped in misery. Listen now. Show Highlights Include How using labels strips away your joy and fascination of life around you (5:13) The weird way your ignorance can unleash a glorious rush of joy through every moment of your life (9:04) How to exponentially increase your awe and wonder in life by acting like a toddler (12:41) Why “losing God” can actually bring you closer to Him and fill your grayscale perspective with vibrancy and color (17:44) The 3-second mindset tweak which forever obliterates your fear of the unknown (22:06) The “question every complaint” secret which unlocks an opportunity to discover life’s beauty (25:11) The “Birth Canal” method for never again letting your addictions and traumas haunt you (25:54) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

People Pleasing & Perfectionism
When you were born, you weren’t a people pleaser. Yet many people label themselves as such today (even though it causes undue suffering). Why? Because learning to be a people pleaser usually helps you cope with a traumatic experience that could date back to your early childhood years. For example, one of the folks who came to the Freedom Specialist retreats was a self-admitted people pleaser with a porn addiction. He even contemplated suicide. After digging, I realized he still carried the trauma of his friend committing suicide nearly a decade before he stepped foot in the retreat. But by working with his body—instead of his thoughts—he discovered a new way to act. The result? His trauma disappeared and he’s never been happier since. In this episode, you’ll discover how to use your body to quiet your nastiest negative thoughts and unlock more joy than you even thought possible. Listen now. Show Highlights Include The “never out of the blue” mindset tweak for better understanding and erasing your addictive tendencies (2:50) How to uncover if a loved one has suicidal thoughts by zeroing in to the language they use (5:42) Why your brain acts like a QR code (and how this fact creates untold amounts of suffering in your life) (12:40) The “Different Body” secret for instantly obliterating your negative and triggering thoughts (13:56) A 3-second trick for curbing anger whenever it rears its ugly head (14:49) Why simply praying can evaporate your worst thoughts and feelings (even if you don’t have a religious bone in your body) (19:56) The weird root cause of aging, midlife crises, and divorce (and how to prevent it in your life) (23:07) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Suicide (w. Michael & Yoshi)
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for everyone up to age 45. It’s a tragedy—and a full out epidemic. So why do so many people in our world choose to kill themselves instead of living out the rest of their days? Well, there are several reasons. From societal expectations to social media and everything in between. But another massive problem is people don’t feel comfortable talking about it. In fact, even though I had suicidal thoughts, I had no idea my son did. I couldn’t spot it, even after he read me a cryptic story he wrote. More recently, I caught him bawling his eyes out in his car as he tried to talk his friend down from the ledge. His parents didn’t know either. Suicide happens all the time, it’s the second leading cause of death up to age 45, after all. Yet nobody is comfortable enough to discuss it. But you know what? It doesn’t have to be this way. You and I have the power to change this. Forever. And in this episode, my two oldest sons join me to discuss suicide, why it’s such a common problem, and how you can prevent suicide in your family. Listen now. Show Highlights Include The sad truth about why “spotting the signs of suicide” won’t help (and how to actually prevent suicide) (2:14) Why teenagers don’t tell anyone if they have suicidal thoughts (and how to change this before they make a fatal mistake) (6:33) The weird “Hypothetical Suicide Scenario” which may save your child’s life (10:56) How “renaming” your kids when they grow up frees them of nasty expectations and unlocks their true self (17:41) Why expectations, even healthy expectations, add unnecessary weight and pressure to your children’s already tough lives (15:48) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

The Buddha And The Philospher
The Buddha as we know him wasn’t always the Buddha. In fact, he was just a normal guy who suffered like most of us do. But then the Buddha discovered the only true way to get rid of suffering. Years after the Buddha’s discovery, a philosopher approached him. The philosopher searched for the answers to life his entire life. And the Buddha’s only solution was to sit in silence for two years. After begrudgingly agreeing to the Buddha’s terms, two years later, the philosopher had no questions for the Buddha. Moral of the story? You don’t have to solve your “problems.” In fact, trying to solve them is what makes them seem like problems in the first place. But your problems don’t exist. And by prioritizing your body—instead of your mind—your problems will dissolve on their own. In this episode, you’ll discover why the mind creates problems. And why relying on the mind to solve them only makes them bigger. Ready to free yourself from suffering? Listen now. Show Highlights Include The Buddha’s profound secret for appreciating and enjoying life right now (even if you’re unhappy) (5:44) How to banish all your worries, anxieties, and fears by removing a single letter from your vocabulary (8:27) The “Body First” approach for eliminating as much as 90% of your problems within a few weeks (13:39) The counterintuitive explanation for why mental health problems are skyrocketing (and how your body can reverse mental traumas) (16:07) The insidious “Thinking over Being” infection popularized by philosophers which nukes your ability to free yourself from suffering (16:45) 5 simple ways to get into your body today to make your problems evaporate on their own (20:41) Why never resolving your relationship problems makes you and your partner happier (22:28) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

You Aren't A Parking Ticket, You Don't Need Validation
We don’t come out of the womb seeking validation. But shortly after, our parents, our society, and our culture train us to seek validation. This is a mistake that leads to suffering, depression, and even suicide. Why? Because you’re already perfect the way you are.

Beyond Therapy (w. Chase Sayer LCSW)
Therapy has helped a lot of people in the world. But it can’t help everyone. And in fact, it may not be the best approach to solve mental health problems. For example, today’s guest, Ace Jaysayer, is a therapist himself. But after an earth-shattering divorce, he slowly realized the modern form of therapy isn’t too effective. He first used his skills on himself for a year. When that didn’t work, he found the best therapist in the world for him. But that didn’t work either. As he was on the brink of suicice, he discovered the Freedom Specialist and came to a retreat. Within two days, 98% of his trauma vanished. In this episode, Ace shares his story, why modern therapy isn’t as effective as it could be, and how you can overcome your suffering (even when therapy didn’t work for you). Listen now. Show Highlights Include Why mental health in America is declining despite the stigma around therapy vanishing (7:35) The weird way even the best, good-hearted therapists can’t help all their clients overcome their problems (9:20) How an earth-shattering divorce led this top therapist on the brink of depression to a Freedom Specialist retreat where he conquered his suffering in 2 days (and how you can conquer suffering too) (16:02) Why therapy couldn't help a professional therapist who knows how to find the best therapist for himself (19:03) The “thoughts as a byproduct” strategy shift which how the Freedom Specialist retreats can help you conquer your trauma when therapy can’t (22:29) Why working with the body is a more effective way to handle mental health issues than working with the thoughts (23:14) How to get rid of your trauma in as little as two days (even if you’ve spent years in therapy) (24:10) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Ripples of Change (w. Amber and Lee)
When you make a massive change in your life, like unlocking unlimited joy and freedom, it causes ripples of change to every relationship too.

Who Told You That? (w. Lee)
Who told you that all your traumas and baggage are problems? Where did the ideas of depression, anxiety, and addiction even come from? Are they even true? Here’s why I’m asking: By simply questioning your ideas, problems, and emotions you can start to leave them behind. So why don’t more people question these topics? Well, they believe them to be true because their family, friends, and therapists drilled it into their heads. But feeling stuck also gives you a demented form of comfort — like it has for me and today’s guest, Lee. In this episode, you’ll hear Lee’s story of growing up for 16 years in a family that abused him physically, mentally, emotionally, spritually, and sexually. And you’ll discover how Lee finally set down his trauma story for good. The result? He’s happier and more free than he’s ever been. (Plus, his beard is darker!) Listen now.

The Notion of Need
Since we were born, we’ve been conditioned to need certain things. From basic things like food and water to lavish things like sports cars and watches. But do we really “need” anything? Maybe not… I’ve been recently training under Elitom El-amin. He’s a breatharian who hasn’t eaten food or drank water in two years. Yes, years! As Elitom proves, not only do you not need food, but you don’t need anything. And nothing—and I mean nothing—unlocks more freedom in your life than ditching your notion of need. Why? Because as soon as you ditch your notion of need, every possible life route you have becomes an option for a life-changing adventure. In this episode, you’ll discover how to question your notion of need, how you may be able to live without food and water, and why your needs sabotage your joy. Ready to unlock a monk-esque level of happiness and calmness and free yourself from your needs? Listen now. Show Highlights Include How your tongue shapes your thoughts and can poison your body and mind (2:43) The “Tongue Thoughts” mindset shift which instantly unlocks a happier and calmer version of yourself (5:11) Why simply relaxing the back of your tongue is the easiest and most effective way to make your frantic thoughts vanish (5:17) The Father of Modern Medicine’s secret for using food as medicine to balance your body and mind (10:45) The bizarre way your need for food strips away your freedom and joy (and how to overcome this “need” by breathing) (11:58) The biochemical proof that breathing is a more effective source of nourishment than food and supplements (13:59) The powerful “Placebo, Nocebo” technique for completely mastering your life and the world around you (18:04) How to survive without food or water for years using the “Breatharian” technique like my teacher, Eliton El-amin (19:07) Why food imprisons you and how thinking of food as an experience instead of a necessity frees you from food’s wicked, inflammation-inducing grasp (21:34) The “Self-Sufficient” secret which instantly wipes out your biggest fears and worries (27:19) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Where It All Began
Where has all your struggling and suffering begun? There is only one common thread between your suffering — and it’s not your outside environment, the people involved, or even the food you ate beforehand. The only common culprit is your thinking. While that sounds gloomy, here’s why that’s good news: Nature handed you freedom, happiness, and creativity as your birthright. Nurture stripped that away — with the language you use, the religious ideas you believe, and the education you receive. By simply understanding that your knowledge comes from a massive telephone game played throughout human history, you can finally unlock unlimited joy, health, and freedom. In this episode, you’ll discover your key to freedom. And how this key helps you leave your traumas, addictions, and emotional bondage in the past. Listen now.

Freedom Is Not the Finish Line (w. Tucker)
Ask most people what their end goal is for life, and they’ll say either happiness or freedom. And here is where your problems begin: Happiness and freedom are the fuel to drive your car to an actualized, blissful life. Not the end destination. When you start with happiness and freedom, your emotional baggage fades from the background of your life and becomes nonexistent. In fact, your haunted past will feel like it happened to another person — and you just have access to their memory banks. This process opens up a world of possibilities, opportunities, and yes, miracles. But you have to know how to access it. In this episode, my former student, Tucker, joins me again to reveal how to start with freedom and happiness. And how your life will get better every single day once you do. Listen now. Show Highlights Include The “Happiness Starting Line” secret for feeling joy pulse through every cell of your body (2:08) The profound way to erase your addictions simply by saying yes (5:23) How to prevent yourself from blowing up in people’s faces (even on lousy, stress-filled days) (9:51) The 5-second mindset shift which stops you from freaking out or reverting to old habits when you’re stressed (10:51) Why “resisting” your addictions drains your energy and leads you back into them (and the easier way to ditch them for good) (15:09) How religion-induced guilt and shame around sexual addictions actually create more suffering and addiction inside you (23:14) Why research shows that beating yourself up about your problems perpetuates them instead of fixes them (27:09) How to completely overwhelm yourself with happiness by doing simple little things like listening to music (36:40) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Free The Body, Free The Mind

Hearing Life's Music
There is a musical world all around us. Scientists discovered that even plants play “music” through their electrical signals. And your brain works the same way: It sends electrical signals throughout your body every moment of the day. These electrical signals either create “music” and bliss or “noise” and misery. These electrical signals have brainwashed us with the ideas of limitations in the human system. Here’s a practical example: We think being an “addict” means we’re forever addicted to our vices. Of course, that’s not the truth. But we’ve trained our brains to believe it. And as a result, our brains produce those feelings. The fact is, every limitation you have is only a limitation because it’s what you’ve trained yourself to believe. In this episode, you’ll discover how to cut through these limitations and experience pure ecstasy every moment of your life. Listen now. Show Highlights Include The weird way acting like a plant helps you achieve effortless happiness (3:31) How to change your worst compulsive behaviors, emotions, and addictions doing nothing other than becoming mindful (7:26) The “Polygraph Detector” method for instantly noticing when your brain’s distressed (and how to morph it into serenity) (11:56) How listening to your breathing patterns and heart rates reveals what’s happening in your subconscious and prevents self-sabotage (16:43) 3 simple head massages you can try on yourself to force your brain to relax and melt your stress away (18:03) The “Chattering Monkey” trap discovered by Zen masters which burdens your mind with stress (and how to quiet it) (20:53) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

The 9 Senses
We experience the world through our senses. They are feelers that let us connect with ourselves and others. But there’s a common misconception. At school, we’re taught to believe that we have five senses: eyesight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. That’s not true. Humans actually have nine senses. Not being in touch with them will cause you to feel emotionally or physically stuck. It’s the reason why so many people find it difficult to make positive changes in their lives. Maybe you struggle with the same thing? If so, this episode is for you. Listen in to discover what the nine senses are and how harnessing them gives you the chance to feel more fulfilled in your life. No matter what has happened to you before. Show Highlights Include How the story of a “woo-woo” German scientist opens your mind to new things (1:56) How walking into a pitch-black room lets you connect with your “sense of proprioception” (11:03) How to use your senses as a compass to find directions whenever you get lost (13:49) The electromagnetic field in your heart that lets you sense others' feelings without words (even from 20 feet away) (16:44) How to increase the electromagnetic field of your heart to be more compassionate and relaxed (18:42) How being disconnected from your nine senses makes you feel emotionally stuck (and how to develop the senses within yourself) (21:34) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

A Self-Made Prison
Do you feel like you’re living in a prison sometimes…one that you built yourself? You’re not alone. Too often we let fear, shame, or other negative emotions take control of our lives.

That feeling robs us from experiencing new and exciting parts of life. But by learning how your emotions work, you can better harness the power it takes to embrace change and break free from your prison. In today’s episode, you discover how to rewire your brain to handle fear and other negative emotions so you can break the pattern and thrive. Let’s plan a jailbreak together… Show Highlights Include: Three facts about your brain that can help you understand yourself deeper (7:14) How ancient spiritual wisdom helps you control your emotions ( even in chaos) (7:40) How trauma changes the chemistry in your system to help you survive and destroys your life at the same time (11:10) Why you’re following patterns since you were born ( even if you don’t notice) (14:36) Why going to therapy is only scratching the surface ( and a more effective way of dealing with emotions) (16:32) How imbalanced chemistry blurs your judgment and turns you into an animal (19:30) Two questions that can help you pinpoint your trigger points and control your emotions better (20:57) Why you’re living in a self-made prison and how to escape it (24:22) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

An Ocean of Well-Being
Most people don’t understand happiness. And it robs them of feeling blissful every day. Happiness isn’t tied to achievements, purchases, or other life events. In fact, thinking of happiness this way creates untold suffering. Why? Because pain and pleasure are two sides of the same coin. Your brain has certain homeostatic mechanisms that create pain if you’re feeling too much pleasure and vice versa. Here’s why that’s good news: You have a baseline level of peace and well-being you can tap into regardless of what positive or negative external events happen. In this episode, you’ll discover how to experience this ocean of well-being every moment of your life. Listen now. Show highlights include: Why chasing happiness makes you miserable (even if it makes you feel good in the moment) (4:14) How wanting something you don’t have creates mental agony (and how to be happy without relying on external things) (6:08) How advertising manipulates you into being unhappy (even if buying something from an ad gives you joy) (7:05) The weird way having problems—whether financial, spiritual, or otherwise—actually makes you happier (10:20) 2 insidious ways your brain unleashes suffering on you (and how stop them and experience bliss every day) (10:31) How religion can unlock unlimited ecstacy (and how it can morph you into a miserable, helpless victim) (15:52) The “Dance with Reality” secret for accepting life as it is without giving up your power to live happy and free (16:55) The “Zone Out” trick for unlatching blissful joy in your body (even when you don’t have everything you want) (18:22) How experiencing too much pleasure releases pain to course through your body like a tidal wave (18:59) Why removing the word “happiness” from your vocabulary lets you dip into the glorious ocean of well-being at any time (21:57) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Happily Disillusioned
We live in a backwards society full of illusions. We take people’s word for things without experiencing it ourselves. We buy into their theories about addiction and depression, only to become more addicted and depressed. Why? Because we’d rather be right than happy and free.

It starts with disillusioning yourself and admitting your ignorance. In this episode, you’ll discover how disillusionment unlocks happiness, freedom, and relief.

Who Am I Really?
As humans, we try to separate ourselves from animals and nature as much as possible. We believe that thinking makes us different from every other type of life on the planet. But this is a mistake which creates suffering. Why? Because we’re not special because we can think. Thinking is a garnish and your body is the main course. When we try to replace the main course with only a garnish, we create unnecessary misery. In this episode, you’ll discover why we’re more like animals than you think. And how this realization makes your suffering vanish for good. Listen now. Show highlights include: Why humans aren’t more special than monkeys or apes (and how this unlocks limitless happiness) (7:30) How pretending we’re different from animals or nature causes untold amounts of suffering (10:16) The counterintuitive way our comfortable, modern lives wreak havoc on our wellbeing (10:29) The insidious “Subhuman” trap we fall into which erases wonder and joy (11:13) How understanding ancient human history frees you from your deep-rooted traumas (13:37) The weird way acting like your dog eliminates agony in a millisecond (14:09) How thinking prevents you from experiencing the miracles of life happening all around you (even though it makes you human) (21:59) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

On Being Special
Humans trap themselves in the pursuit of becoming special. We learn new amazing skills, ditch our worst habits, and try our darndest to improve ourselves instead of living a mediocre life. But this actually makes us more miserable because we’re never satisfied. Let’s use addiction as an example. Freeing yourself from addiction won’t instantly make you happier because your brain finds other ways to beat yourself up. Here’s the truth: There’s nothing you can do to make yourself more special than you are now. And that’s a good thing — because it means you can rejoice about who you are right now. In this episode, you’ll discover why you are special (even if you don’t feel like it). Listen now and free yourself from the trap of “becoming special.” Show highlights include: The counterintuitive way ignoring wealth, happiness, and fulfillment magnetizes them to you (0:40) Why striving for specialness and greatness robs you of abilities nobody else has but you (1:35) The insidious, but not malicious way Big Pharma creates more “diseases” than actually exist (6:24) The bizarre “Defend Your Diagnoses” trap that puts your suffering on steroids (11:39) The sneaky way your brain justifies your addictions and prevents you from leaving them in the past (14:15) Why learning new skills, buying new clothes, and mastering your emotions can make you miserable (19:30) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Building Blocks
Our society glorifies shortcuts and band-aids to heal deep-rooted suffering. But these shortcuts don’t work. In fact, they prolong our suffering. Why? Because any affliction suffocating you—from depression and anxiety to addiction and trauma—is a byproduct of the real problem. This is why talk therapy doesn’t work. It’s like trying to season a rotten fish instead of finding a fresh one. That’s the bad news. The good news? Your life is made of certain building blocks. And once you fix these building blocks, you’ll amaze yourself by how quickly all your mental and emotional problems vanish—for good. In this episode, I reveal how to readjust your building blocks, so every passing day becomes the happiest of your life. Listen now.

Pain Is My Middle Name (with Amber)
Most people live with their suffering for so long, they don’t even realize it’s affecting them. This can come from trauma, past addictions, chronic pain, and even autoimmune diseases. But that doesn’t mean that you still can’t experience true freedom, peace, and joy. That’s what Amber, a Freedom Specialist client, realized after going to a retreat and getting coaching. Amber battled chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and mental health problems for over 10 years. She tried everything from conventional medicine to alternative health approaches, and nothing worked. At one point doctors rated her heart inflammation at a 4 on a scale of 5 (where 5 means a heart attack can strike at any moment). In this episode, Amber shares how she’s eliminated all her physical and mental problems to the shock of her doctors. And how following a “full body approach” can do the same for you, regardless of what you’re struggling with. Listen now and take the first step towards achieving true freedom, health, and joy. Show highlights include: The insidious “Vending Machine” reason behind why you can’t get rid of your nastiest emotions (1:38) Why repeating affirmations can’t get rid of your depression (even if it makes you happier) (2:26) How to erase chronic pain, reverse autoimmune diseases, and ditch your addictions by just having fun (3:21) The bizarre “punch-in-the-back” method for relieving 10 years of physical pain in an instant (7:06) Why Amber’s doctor thought she would die soon (and how Amber scored perfect ratings on blood tests a year later) (10:27) The “put a stick in it” technique which reteaches your body’s tension patterns and reverses potentially life-threatening cardiac inflammation in 4 days (15:17) Why treating your body like an old-school computer helps you heal from addiction, trauma, and even lethal diseases (21:45) How to purge agonizing aches and pains for good (even if you’re 65 or older) (30:12) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Disney movies, popular books, and rom-coms ruin more relationships than you’d think. Too often, angsty, single men with no relationship success create these fantasized stories.

What is Trust? (with Jasmine)
Most couples believe they need trust to build a healthy, long marriage. But trust doesn’t create unity like paying attention does. Here’s what I mean: When you pay better attention to your spouse, you can accept them for what they are. Too often, we try to impose change on our spouse — which only leads to suffering for both people. By paying attention, you can build a marriage bonded by true unity and fully accept the other person for who they are. In this episode, Jasmine and I reveal simple strategies that saved our marriage after we destroyed our trust. And how you can build a stronger marriage despite any trust issues you may have. Listen now and save your marriage.

Healing at Different Paces (with Jasmine)

In this episode, Jasmine joins me to reveal how wives heal slower than their formerly addicted partners. Listen now and kickstart your healing process together.

"Follow Me"
If Jesus came back today, do you think you’d drop everything and follow him? How many other people do you think would do the same? In the Bible, a rich man refuses to follow Jesus because he was too attached to his possessions. In the real world, we’re all the rich man — no matter how wealthy we are. Chances are, you’ve prayed about or wished for something that you’ve had an opportunity to pursue. But you didn’t because you would’ve had to sacrifice everything. I know it’s scary because I’ve gone through the same battle. But what if that opportunity gave you a feeling of ecstasy that you couldn’t find anywhere else? And what if you only had one opportunity to experience this? In this episode, you’ll discover why dropping everything for a life-altering opportunity is frightening. And why that means you should do it even more. Listen to the episode now and let the doors of massive change open right in front of you. Show highlights include: The counterintuitive way obeying every religious rule can result in a full-blown porn addiction (7:15) How to make happiness burst through your entire body without doing anything to make yourself happy (12:56) The insidious way clinging to everything in your life deprives you of true bliss (20:58) The almost-too-simple “Follow Me” strategy that creates more peace and joy in your life than anything else (25:13) Why you must let go of the best things in your life to achieve everything you’ve ever wanted (27:03) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Honestly Ignorant
Most people think knowledge improves their life. The more you “know,” the more you can win arguments, impress others, and build a better life. The truth is that knowledge clouds your judgement, creates fake problems, and depletes your joy.

There’s a reason people say “ignorance is bliss.” When you embrace ignorance, you unlock all the joys of life that are right in front of you right now. It sounds counterintuitive, but it works. In this episode, you’ll discover how being honestly ignorant makes you happier, helps you build a healthier marriage, and puts your life on “easy mode.” Listen to this episode now before your knowledge wrecks everything good in your life. Show highlights include: How assumptions you think help you can morph into full-blown traumas that keep slashing your happiness (2:11) The weird psychological “Phantom Shooters” glitch that makes your life seem much worse than it is (3:30) How removing the word “know” from your vocabulary makes 90% (or more) of your problems disappear overnight (5:55) Why your worst emotions aren’t as destructive as you think (and the “Know Filter” secret for escaping from your emotions) (8:36) How to use the “picture in your mind” method to never be irritated or angry at anyone ever again (17:14) Why admitting you don’t know your spouse is the single greatest way to improve your marriage (17:59) The wacky “stare at your wife” exercise for rejuvenating your love (even when you’re on the brink of divorce) (24:34) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Chasing Perfection
Society has conditioned you to chase perfection since we were kids. Your parents praised you if you did your homework. And scolded you if you didn’t eat your veggies. This idea tricks you into believing your worth as a person is tied to your actions. You feel invisible when you win. And like an utter loser when you make a mistake. But nothing sacrifices your happiness and joy more than chasing perfection. And it’s not even tied to reality — your worth as a person has nothing to do with how smart, skilled, or perfect you are. In this episode, you’ll discover how to stop chasing perfection so you can experience happiness on autopilot. Listen to the episode now.

How To Never Work Again
Work is the biggest source of stress, misery, and overwhelm in the world. And it doesn’t even exist. Work is nothing but an expenditure of energy — labeling it “work” causes stress, anxiety, and misery. Since the Industrial Revolution, society brainwashed us to think hard work is a virtue. So we try to stay busy all day long at the expense of our joy. But there’s an easy solution for this: If you stop thinking about it as “work,” it becomes easier, more fun, and more fulfilling. And you experience a deeper sense of happiness too. In this episode, you’ll discover how to never work again for the rest of your life. Listen to the episode before work stresses you out even more than it already does. Show highlights include: How we’ve “hijacked” nature and transformed ourselves into productive machines (and why this saps your joy) (2:34) Why you don’t have to work hard and stay productive to be content (5:18) The insidious way homework brainwashed you into believing you can’t have down time without feeling guilty (6:27) The “Expenditure of Energy” mindset shift that instantly makes work more fun and fulfilling (9:16) The weird way removing “work” from your vocabulary makes exercising easier (10:33) The oddball “Quit Working” secret that melts all the stress off your shoulders in an instant (16:01) Why your own mind is the most common source of all your misery (and how to morph it into ecstasy) (21:22) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

The History of God
Religion helps many people overcome their struggles. But it also fills people with guilt, shame, and worthlessness which feeds their addictions. Why? Because religion is filled with stories about God that aren’t true. Humans have misinterpreted these stories for as long as religion has been around. Here’s the truth: God is nothing more than the ability to experience a divine state of being. You can tap into this divine state once you realize the history of God (even if you’re not religious). And once you do, you can throw your addictions out the window. In this episode, I reveal how better understanding the history of God can free you from your addictions. And I give you a new way to view God (without losing your religion). Listen to the episode now and discover why God doesn’t want you feeling ashamed and worthless. Show highlights include: The counterintuitive way your religious upbringing feeds you porn addiction (2:03) How being shamed for your addictive tendencies increases your addictions instead of helping you ditch them (3:02) Why psychologists are dead wrong when they blame religion for your addictions (and the true cause of your addictive behaviors) (4:17) The weird “God as a Phone” idea that helps you overcome your addictions (6:50) How to free yourself from the unfounded, religious stories that fill you with shame (without sacrificing your belief in God) (24:22) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

The Leap of Faith
Faith is a confusing term many people misunderstand. But it’s the most powerful force in the universe (even if you’re not religious).

Because faith either creates all your suffering and anguish or builds a life full of joy and freedom. In this episode, I break down what faith means in layman terms. Once you understand faith, you can use it to improve your life in ways that seem impossible right now. Listen to the episode now before your misery overpowers you.

How Quickly Legends Are Made
We fill our minds with false stories, myths, and legends that justify our emotions. While it’s possible to use this human “glitch” to feel happier, most people use it to deepen their depression and worthlessness. Why does this happen? Because your brain only entertains a tiny fraction of your entire experience. Once you cling to a myth about yourself, your brain filters for this story and ignores the rest. That’s why so many adults struggle with childhood traumas decades later. That’s the bad news. The good news? Once you become aware that you do this, you can stop creating legends and experience reality. In this episode, you’ll discover how you can stop yourself from doing this so you can experience an unlimited sense of joy. Listen to the episode now.

From Coping to Creation
There are three levels to processing emotion. The first level is feeling like it’s happening to you. The second level is using your emotions as fuel. And the third level is seeing your negative emotions and creating a positive experience from them. Most people stay stuck in the first level forever. Which means, you’re a victim to your emotions. While the second level is healthier, it can still trap you into some terrible habits and behaviors. Only the third level gives you a deep sense of freedom and control over your life and emotions. Here’s the truth: You don’t have to cope with your emotions or use them as a wicked motivation engine. Once you tap into the third level, you can leave all your anger, depression, and anxiety in the rearview mirror. In this episode, I reveal how to go from coping with your emotions to creating something new from them. Listen to the episode now to discover how to experience unlimited emotional freedom. Show highlights include: The insidious way “getting” angry or upset turns you into a helpless victim (1:17) How treating your emotions like a vicious knife attack helps you overcome them (without self-sabotaging) (6:22) The rarely-mentioned “Teleological Approach” that transforms your emotions into weapons you can use to get what you want (9:44) The counterintuitive reason knowing nobody will save you gives you complete freedom over your emotions (14:32) Why you’re responsible for every negative feeling you've ever felt (and how this stops negative emotions in their tracks) (18:24) The “Trail Secret” for leaving your traumas in the past for good (without even fixing them) (22:07) How your frontal lobe creates emotional trauma that overrides reality and can make you think yourself ill (and how to harness it to make yourself happy and joyful) (24:18) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

(7:48) Why seeking pleasure disrupts your internal happiness and keeps you unhappy (10:35) Why being busy sabotages your happiness (even if you’re being productive and making money) (13:20) Why endless thinking is the main source of your suffering (and why not thinking unleashes happiness in your life) (17:17) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

"What is Love? Baby, Don't Hurt Me..."
Pop culture throws around the word “love.” There are several ideas attached to love, but they’re all wrong. Here’s why: Whether you’re listening to a song about love or watching a Disney movie, these ideas imply that love comes from outside you. But that’s impossible. Your emotions can’t come from somebody else. And if you believe someone else is responsible for making you feel love, you can find yourself in a rabbit hole of pornography. Or other addictive behaviors. In this episode, I reveal the true definition of love so you don’t fall into the same trap that ruins marriages and your ability to love. Listen to the episode now. Show highlights include: The insidious way pop songs sabotage your ability to love (2:44) How embracing a victimhood mentality cripples you for life (3:29) Why “Christian Love” often leads to judgement, manipulation, and gaslighting (even if you have good intentions) (12:32) The “Love Without Content” approach that creates a deep sense of connection to your spouse (even when you’re arguing) (20:40) Why “romantic love” makes marriages fall apart (and how “real love” makes your marriage last forever) (22:10) How searching for love leads you down the pornographic rabbit hole (24:12) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

From Coping To Conscious
Practicing martial arts teaches you more about living a life full of happiness than any self-help book or support group ever could. Why? Because martial arts reveal how to use your environment and emotions to your advantage. Too many people blame other people and their circumstances for how they feel. This turns you into a helpless victim and makes it impossible to change your life. But when you can consciously use your emotions, they become an adventure instead of an accident. And your life becomes easier, happier, and more beautiful than you ever imagined. In this episode, I share how to go from coping with your emotions to having conscious control over them. Listen now. Show highlights include: How being punched, prodded, and poked teaches you more about living well than you’d ever learn in a self-help book or support group (0:53) The insidious way people use humor to deceive themselves about their life (4:47) How your thoughts imprison you and steal your joy (5:58) The counterintuitive reason having chiseled abs and strong muscles make it harder to have happiness, health, and wellbeing (7:51) Why martial arts can help you overcome your addictions and emotional baggage (9:09) How to transform your base state from misery to joyful (even if you still get sad and depressed once in a while) (14:35) The weird way to use your pent-up rage to obliterate your addictions (16:52) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Body-Based Approach to Happiness, Health, and Well-being
In our modern society, we put too much emphasis on our minds, thoughts, and feelings. The problem with this is your mind is just a fraction of your total experience of life. In fact, your whole body is a brain. And I can prove it. Pinch your finger right now and you’ll experience pain signals shooting up to your brain. Yet, when it comes to emotional baggage, trauma, addictions, and other mental ailments, we forget about the body and hyperfocus on the mind. If you want to permanently free yourself from these mental diseases, you have to first start in your body. Ancient cultures from all over the world knew how to do this. But we forgot how to do it in our modern world. In this episode, I’m revealing how a body-based approach to happiness, health, and well-being is more effective than any therapist could hope to be. Listen now. Show highlights include: The strange way laws prevent therapists from helping you as much as they could (4:09) Why therapy and counseling can only help a fraction of your mental health problems (even if it feels like they’re working) (14:33) How chanting mantras can actually make your anxiety, depression, and even schizophrenia subside (17:11) Why using your body is the single best way to eliminate all your mental and emotional baggage forever (19:32) How to teach your body freedom so you can erase mental health problems, addictions, and even chronic pain from your life (28:38) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

There Is No "How"
Do your problems or negative thought patterns haunt you to your core? No matter what steps you take, you can't get rid of it. Not only is it crippling, but it makes you doubt your entire worth as a person. This recently happened to a client of mine who’s still suffering from a bad divorce. His problem? He was trying too hard to figure out “how” to solve this problem. But there is no “how.” You can only escape this vicious cycle by realizing the truth of your circumstance. In this episode, I share this client story and how using a “Brain Software Upgrade” exercise can finally free you from these persistent problems. Tune into the episode to set yourself free. Show highlights include: How scribbling a stream of consciousness paragraph helps you recognize what’s agonizing you (2:18) The weird way your problems manifest in your actions, breathing patterns, movements, and even your words (and how to identify your problems so you can squash them) (3:32) Why trying to find the root cause of your problems sucks you back into suffering from them (5:26) The “Brain Software Upgrade” exercise that helps you finally overcome your most haunting problems (6:14) The insidious way a “fixation” thought pattern amplifies your helplessness to change your situation (10:30) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

The Journey to Being
Do you ever wonder what the purpose of life is? Most of the time this happens because you feel negative in some way. You’re searching for a reason that your life should be different.

And when you can do this, every moment of your existence becomes a blissful, miraculous experience.

Escaping The Loop
Our minds are often our own worst enemies. They trap us in feedback loops of negative emotions. But what if your mind became your best friend? Instead of beating you down with negative self-talk, your mind fills you with joy. Happiness becomes automatic. And you experience more freedom than ever before. Not only is this possible, but it’s simple once you upgrade your “mental software.” When you do this, you direct your life instead of reacting to what’s happening in your mind. And when you’re the director of your life, you’re free from regurgitating the past and spitting it into your future. In this episode, I’m revealing how to upgrade your “mental software” so you can free yourself from all the negativity you created in your mind.

Chasing Miracles
Billions of miracles happen around you every moment of your life. But we never notice them. Why? Because we’re so busy chasing spiritual miracles that we forget every moment in life is already a miracle. This ignorance robs you of the pure ecstasy of life.

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
In our modern society, everyone rushes from Point A to Point B. We never give ourselves a chance to relax and do nothing. Yet we all wonder where our anxious thoughts and worries come from. Jesus was one of the most accomplished people on earth. And even he took time off. Maybe he was on to something. In this episode, I’m sharing my experience from a 6 day sabbatical.

From Dividual to Individual
Many people feel broken because they tie themselves down to false ideas about who they are. You’re not your habits, hobbies, and beliefs any more than you are your clothes. These are accumulations that make it impossible for you to change your life. And the more accumulations you have, the more divided you become. Every new accumulation creates new pieces of you. And make it that much harder to experience the freedom of being yourself. In this episode, I’m revealing how to free yourself from the chains you put on yourself so you can experience true freedom.

Go And Sin No More
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.

What Makes Something "Addictive"?
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. Show highlights include: The bizarre reason dentists in the UK prescribe heroin for pain relief without making their patients addicted to it (0:58) Why reading a book is the most effective way to quit smoking cold turkey (1:27) How your mind transforms random chemicals and thought patterns into full-blown addictions (7:23) Why checking your email is no different than falling down a pornographic rabbit hole (9:55) How “cigarette breaks” are more addictive than cigarettes themselves (16:20) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Is Addiction Really A Spiritual Problem? (Part 2)
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.

Phoney Friends
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) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Poke Her Face?
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) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

2 Motivation Killers
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.

12-Step Trauma
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) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

On Becoming One
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) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

What Are You Asking For?
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: The weird way cutting out your worst habits and addictions strips you from some of the best parts of your life (and how to become happier than you ever imagined afterwards) (1:41) 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 case for celebrating when your life is falling apart (even if it feels like you’ll never be happy again) (11:34) 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) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Manipulative Madness
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. When you manipulate yourself, it’s impossible to be happy when you’re poisoning yourself with nasty emotions and horror stories about your doomed future. But it’s never true. 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. Show highlights include: How not taking action overloads your body with anxiety to unconsciously manipulate yourself (4:45) The “Horror Stories Motivation Method” everyone is programmed with that costs you your sanity and peace (and how to motivate yourself without suffering) (5:16) How “Mini Manipulations” nuke your joy (especially if you’re motivating yourself to finish a nagging business project) (6:28) 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) The “One Question Antidote” that instantly banishes anxious, worried, and fearful thoughts from dominating your life (16:39) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Coddle Culture
When you face obstacles and challenges, it’s easy to suppress your feelings and seek outside validation and comfort instead. Since you were a kid, you’ve been taught that you can find comfort in your suffering because of the coddle culture you live in. But seeking comfort for your problems doesn’t solve them, it makes them worse. Growing up in a coddle culture actually makes it impossible to face and conquer your problems. In this episode, I’m revealing how coddle culture ruins your ability to heal yourself. And how you can start to heal whatever pain, illness, or emotional trauma you’re currently dealing with. Show highlights include: Why you should celebrate when you get sick or are in pain (5:32) The counterintuitive way taking pills to overcome your mental or physical illnesses robs your body from healing itself and prolongs suffering (7:35) How suppressing your nasty emotions fools you into thinking you’ve conquered them (which makes them creep back into your life years later) (8:34) The “Perception Method’ that nukes your fears that keeps you from solving your problems (13:10) How coddle culture overloads your body with misery by making it seem like you’re perfectly comfortable (14:51) The insidious way comforting someone prevents them from ever solving their issues (and how to help them instead) (16:02) The “Spontaneous Remission Secret” that almost instantly eliminates all your pain, illness, and emotional trauma (18:35) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

On Pedestals and Pits
When you put someone up on a pedestal, you throw yourself down in a pit. And when you look at others as beneath you, you discount their opinions and beliefs. Either type of comparison creates unnecessary suffering. Instead, if you just looked, you'd find that life is more beautiful when you appreciate the people around you. In this episode, I’m revealing the dangers of comparison and how to stop looking up to or down at the people in your life. Nothing will create more happiness in your life than the secrets I shared during this episode. Show highlights include: The “USB Method” for operating your body and mind that makes happiness burst through every cell in your body (2:55) Why putting anyone on a pedestal suffocates your self-esteem (even if it’s Jesus) (4:30) The “Dashboard Lights Technique” for dealing with your nasty emotions without falling back into your addictive tendencies (6:39) How to transform seething anger into a beautiful experience by not suppressing it (7:28) The sneaky way praying is a form of shifting responsibility away from you (15:51) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

"The Bible says..."
The Bible has been through billions of different interpretations. That means there’s no reliable way to truly understand what the originator meant. There’s a problem with following sacred books like the Bible: We create our own gospels based on our perceptions and then browbeat other people into believing it. This cripples our relationships, self-esteem, and general sense of wellbeing. If your interpretation is correct, you don’t need to prove it to other people. In this episode, I’m revealing how to stop being manipulated by the Bible so you can find peace in real life (even if it seems like the Bible disagrees with your decisions). Show highlights include: The insidious way the Bible manipulates you and fills you with needless suffering (even if the Bible has improved your life) (0:38) How “weaponized scripture” damages your sense of peace (4:45) Why your insecurities “force” you to impose your views on others and sabotage your relationships (16:06) How misinterpreting scripture stunts your ability to improve yourself (and how taking scripture to real life combats this) (20:43) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Pass On Passion
Many of us think that we need to be passionate about something to live a fulfilling life. But that’s not true. In fact, you seek passion in the first place because you’ve taught yourself to suffer. By thinking there’s something to fix about you, you look for passion and purpose as antidotes to the misery you’ve manufactured. But when you eliminate your suffering, you don’t need a purpose or passion. Instead, you realize that incredible bliss is always at your fingertips. In this episode, I’m revealing how to eliminate passion so you can free yourself from all of your suffering. Show highlights include: How being passionate about other people’s suffering prevents you from functioning at a high level (3:45) Why you should never worry about someone else again (especially if you’re concerned for their health or wellbeing) (4:20) The sneaky way suffering gives you comfort and convinces you it’s good for you (7:28) How Hollywood tricks you into being addicted to misery (8:37) Why a long, painful illness “resets” your internal programming and makes infinite bliss easy to obtain (16:16) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

"It" Shot
There’s some divine intelligence inside you that’s responsible for all of your growing and living. Here’s what that means for you: You don’t need to “fix” your problems. You don’t need to battle your addictive behaviors and tendencies every day. All you have to do is get out of your own way and let these problems resolve themselves. It sounds counterintuitive, but it’s more effective than any other known method. In this episode, I reveal how to get out of your own way so your biggest mental hangups dissolve into nothing. Show highlights include: Why “forcing” your problems to go away only magnifies them (and how to get rid of them instead) (2:21) How struggling transforms mundane breathing techniques into a life-preserving tool that unchains you from mental turmoil (5:25) Why your personality causes all your emotional conflicts (and how to “free” yourself from your personality) (9:17) How playing Jenga helps you tap into the true zen which eliminates your suffering (9:57) The “Small Breath Lifeline” that creates hours of tremendous bliss after practicing it for only 2 weeks (13:23) The “Flower Method” that helps your body fix all its internal problems without you lifting a finger (20:08) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Eyes to See and Ears to Hear
Throughout your life, you’ve been brainwashed into using other peoples’ eyes and ears to live your life. And it’s usually from people with the best intentions. Even revered historical figures like the stoic philosophers subconsciously programmed you. But when you let other authorities guide your life, you trade in your eyes and ears for theirs. When you don’t follow your own eyes and ears, you’re letting other people live your life for you. And nothing puts you on the fast track to misery and suffering more than letting other people live your life. In this episode, I’m revealing why never trusting anyone again gives you freedom to be as happy as you can possibly be. Show highlights include: The insidious way the great stoic philosopher Epictetus prevents you from achieving unlimited happiness (6:06) Why working hard isn’t a prerequisite for a joy-filled life (6:47) How the most motivating books and poems drown you in suffering (and how to challenge everything you believe) (9:26) The counterintuitive reason illiterate people have more wisdom than the best-read person on the planet (15:20) Why never trusting anyone gives you a sense of freedom most can’t even dream about (17:09) The only proven way to build real confidence (and how to use this skill today) (18:48) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Nothing To Fix
We don’t really know who we are. So we create imaginary stories in our head so we can understand ourselves better. But these stories are at the root of all your suffering. The second you identify with a hobby, skill, religion, shortcoming, or belief, you invite unnecessary problems into your life. What if nothing is wrong with you? And nothing has ever been wrong with you? In this episode, I’m revealing why there’s nothing to fix about you — so you can invite peace and joy into your life for good. Show highlights include: How a great childhood doesn’t prevent your kids from stealing, getting depressed, or becoming an addict (and how to prevent this from happening) (3:53) Why protecting your reputation leads to your worst compulsive behaviors (7:17) How letting go of all the “Fake IDs” you’ve given yourself helps you overcome all of your suffering (8:26) The counterintuitive way self-help and personal development books erode your confidence (13:28) How parenting subtly manipulates kids into believing there’s something wrong with them (and how to be at peace with yourself) (18:36) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Is Addiction Really A Spiritual Problem?
Addiction is no more of a spiritual problem than picking your nose. In fact, it wasn’t until the early 1900s that addiction was even considered a spiritual problem. Here’s why this matters for you: Having addictive tendencies or compulsive behaviors doesn’t mean you’re spiritually bankrupt. Instead, it means that your body and mind are working properly — but your limiting beliefs about addiction are holding you back. If you want to dismantle your limiting beliefs and quit your addictions for good then check out this episode. Show highlights include: Scientific proof that addiction is no more real than Bigfoot (and how that empowers you to free yourself from addiction) (5:18) How beautiful spiritual breakthroughs can trick you into thinking you’ve handled your addictions when they’re still lurking in your subconscious (10:05) 2 things that always happen when your compulsive behaviors rear their ugly heads (11:43) The weird way scrolling through Facebook helps you overcome your addictive tendencies (15:27) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Beating Nostalgia
When you examine addiction up close and personal you realize something: You’re addicted to your memories of your first experiences of your addiction — not to the thing itself. This is why it’s never been proven that addictive substances or behaviors exist. In other words, your nostalgia seeps into your brain and convinces you to give into your addictions (even if they leave you unsatisfied afterwards). In this episode, I’m revealing why nostalgia is so powerful and how to train your mind to ignore it so you can take addiction completely off of your “menu.” Show highlights include: The sneaky way your nostalgia jacks up your addictive tendencies without you even realizing it (3:20) How gobbing up pints of ice cream helps you dump your addictions for good (8:50) The “Unconscious Test” that instantly makes you realize you’re not addicted to porn (or any other behavior or drug) (14:18) Why accepting responsibility for your feelings is the first step to chucking addiction, anxiety, and depression out your window (even if none of it is your fault) (16:47) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

"I'm Done..."
Most of us put life on “extreme difficulty” mode. We make life excruciatingly hard by creating problems out of thin air then beating ourselves up after we can’t solve them. But you don’t have to live life this way. If you stop creating problems, most of your suffering disappears almost instantly. It sounds wacky, but it works better than any other program I’ve tried. In this episode, I’m sharing how letting go of your issues gets rid of them much faster than trying to solve them. Show highlights include: How subconscious negative affirmations zap your energy and excitement levels without you even realizing it (6:02) The “Amusement Park Map Method” for talking about your negative feelings without trapping yourself in those emotions (11:16) The insidious way 12-step programs can transform health people into full-blown addicts (12:50) Why trying to solve your addictive tendencies backfires and creates more internal struggle (and how to finally overcome your addicitons) (15:14) 2 words that instantly free you from self-induced guilt and shame whenever you say them (16:45) Why ignoring your problems actually makes them disappear faster than obsessing over solving them (20:40) How going skiing can erase most of your suffering overnight (22:37) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Fear of Failure
Fear of failure haunts many of us. When we’re afraid to fail, we make more mistakes, drain our happiness, and fill ourselves with self-doubt. But what if failure wasn’t real? The fortunate truth is: you create failure inside your own head — it doesn't exist outside of your head. In this episode, I’m revealing why failure doesn’t exist so you can finally experience true joy and tremendous success. Show highlights include: How unfair childhood punishments create an impending feeling of doom in our adult lives (5:32) Why pretending failure doesn’t exist quickly suffocates your fear of failure (8:59) The “Unconscious Experiment” that proves you can’t actually fail (especially if you feel like you’re a failure) (11:31) How hacking your memory through your 5 senses eliminates even your most humiliating failures (12:43) The “100% Success Mindset” that boosts your confidence overnight (especially when you feel like a failure) (16:30) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Don't Want It
You get in your own way more than you think. This is especially true when you want something — like more money, a better relationship with your spouse, or to ditch your mental health problems. Here’s the trouble: The more you want something, the harder it is to get it. It goes against what every motivational speaker will tell you, but it’s true. Instead of wanting something, you need to become it. For example, if you want a happier life, you have to become happiness first. In this episode, I’m revealing how to become happiness and freedom so you can always access it (even in your darkest moments). Show highlights include: How your ancient “survival skills” betray you and create anxiety (and the 3-word trick to stop it) (4:38) The insidious way wanting something poisons your psyche and makes you subconsciously avoid it (8:13) The admittedly difficult way to always be filled with joy (even when you can’t pay your bills or fight with your spouse) (10:52) The “Building Happiness Approach” that makes you more creative, more intelligent, physically stronger, and improves your immune system (16:00) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

The Two Trees
There’s a lot of misinterpretation about the Garden of Eden story in the bible. And unfortunately, we can trace back nearly all of human suffering to one big lie that Satan told Eve in that story. That lie is this: that you are not good enough. That God created everything in the world perfectly, but somehow screwed up with you. Nothing can be further from the truth. In this episode, I’m revealing my observations from the Garden of Eden story, so you can finally swap out your misery for joy. Show highlights include: How the Garden of Eden story “taints” your outlook on life (and how changing your perspective fills you with endless joy) (4:45) Why trying to serve God suffocates you in anguish (and how to find pleasure without serving Him) (12:10) The biggest psychological lie you tell yourself that stops pure bliss from always running through your body (13:09) How you subconsciously plant seeds of catastrophe in your mind that creates a self-fulfilling procephy of misery (16:03) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Context Is Everything
Context is everything — and this is particularly true with your unique mental health characteristics. The problem is mental health “experts” prescribe one solution for every person. And this blinds you from seeing your mental quirks as a gift. When you look at it from a different angle, these mental “kinks” can be a blessing-in-disguise. In this episode, I’m sharing how to reframe your mental health issues so you can use them to create more joy in your life than you ever thought possible. Show highlights include: How mental health “experts” unintentionally cause more addiction, depression, anxiety, and PTSD (2:45) The “Chinese Medicine” mindset shift that can make you grateful for your unusual mental health traits (10:12) The weird way brain damage can bless you with unworldly gifts (10:58) How depression and anxiety gift a little-known skill that makes it easier to find joy (even if it doesn’t seem like it) (13:40) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

By What Authority?
Authority attacks you from all angles — religion, science, your parents, and even society. But you become powerless when you believe something has authority over you. For example, I did energy work on someone struggling with trauma at a recent retreat. After I healed him, someone who believed he had a demon exorcism asked me what authority I had to heal him since it wasn’t in Jesus’s name. He didn’t see that the person was relieved of his trauma. He was only concerned about the lack of authority I had to do so. And this happens all the time in your own life on a smaller scale. In this episode, I’m shining light on how the language you use creates biases that can prevent you from healing yourself. That way, you can challenge your own prejudices that stop you from finding joy. Here Are The Show Highlights: Why being a mindless fool supercharges your marriage and career (8:59) How your language sabotages your spirit and prevents you from healing yourself (16:40) The “Placebo Effect Method” that finally removes decades of trauma from haunting your soul (19:14) The insidious way searching for authority robs you of your ability to improve your mental health (20:04) How science and religion drowns you in misery (even if that’s not their intention) (20:58) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Living an Orgasmic Life
When most people think of orgasms, they think of sex. But what if I told you that you could have orgasmic experiences outside of your bedroom? We all have felt orgasms that weren’t because of sex — but our language prevented us from thinking of it like that. But the truth is, you can train your nervous system to give you an unlimited amount of orgasmic pleasure (without relying on sex, drugs, or anything else outside of you). In this episode, I’m revealing why being fully alive is the best way to experience an orgasmic life and how you can get started today. Here Are The Show Highlights: How to align all the energy in your body in a way so pleasurable it blows even sex out of the water (9:47) The “Ecstasy Technique” that gives you unlimited emotional, physical, and spiritual ecstasy (without having sex or using drugs) (13:43) How to “unlock” more pleasure and happiness than you’ve ever thought possible in as little as 90 days (14:04) The “Mental Nightmare Premise” for why you submit to your addictive tendencies that helps you permanently overcome them (15:10) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Avoiding Catastrophic Compliments
Are compliments always good? On the surface, it seems that complimenting others and yourself helps build your confidence. But if you look deeper, you see that it destroys your confidence. More: When you give others compliments, you’re training them to always worry about what others think. Nothing is more deadly than that. In this episode, I’m revealing why compliments and insults are more similar than you think and how to give compliments that don’t cause the other person to self-destruct. Here Are The Show Highlights: The insidious way compliments plant seeds of destruction in your mind and make failure blossom (3:20) How grades in school brainwashed your subconscious and taught you that approval from others is more important than learning (5:19) Why brutal honesty with yourself makes you love yourself more than fluffy, gassed up compliments (9:28) The heinous reason that giving others compliments means you think you’re superior to them (even if you don’t mean to) (10:35) How telling your kids that they’re awesome reinforces their worst negative thought patterns (12:55) Why not giving people your approval supercharges their confidence (15:16) How compliments subtly create anxiety, depression, and addiction (17:02) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Masculine or Feminine?
Society, culture, and tradition “force” a lot of beliefs on us from our childhood. As we grow older, we start to identify with these different beliefs. For example, gender roles and gender identity. What if there was no such thing as masucline or feminine energy? Or toxic masculinity and toxic femininity? Do you think you’d be worried if you’re “man” enough or “woman” enough? The truth is, these beliefs limit us and imprison us with endless misery and suffering. In this episode, I’m revealing why masculine and feminine energy aren’t nearly as important as you think so you can free yourself from their grip and find joy. Here Are The Show Highlights: How gender roles pigeonhole us into only fixing 2.17% of ourselves instead of the other 97.83% (4:48) The “Ancient Indian Subcontinent's Secret” for achieving liberation and spiritual freedom that we lack in modern times (7:05) How seemingly innocent sitcoms poison your emotions and rip your confidence to shreds (14:47) The subtle mindset shift that finally exiles toxic masculinity and femininity from the earth (15:12) How society brainwashes us with gender identity to limit our happiness (17:07) The “Box Yourself In Trap” that’s the source of all suffering (and how to free yourself from its grasp) (19:01) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

On Hypocrisy
As humans, we often get disgusted by other people. But the only reason we have an emotional reaction to other people is because we see that vulgar behavior in ourselves. For example, when you get annoyed by seeing someone else stuff their face it’s because in some area of your life, you’re neglecting your health. We tend to think negative emotions and hypocrisy are bad things. But they’re actually gifts from the universe that let us examine our own faults and improve them.

Here Are The Show Highlights: The “Mirror Method” that outsources the blame for your character flaws (and how to reverse it) (8:04) The hidden reason you get irritated by other people and how to appreciate every stranger you meet (8:42) How getting road rage can deepen your spirituality (11:02) The weird way resenting other people makes you more compassionate (18:43) Why you should celebrate your nastiest, negative emotions (and how they can make life delightful) (23:38) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

What To Do In A Faith Crisis
Having a faith crisis can be difficult and lonely. It’s not easy to leave your church and tell your family — especially if you feel like you’ve been betrayed by your beliefs. But a faith crisis can also be graceful. It doesn’t have to be a road filled with anger, bitterness, and resentment. And it can actually bring you closer with God too. In this episode, I’m sharing how to have a graceful faith crisis and why it’s okay to ditch bad beliefs that are no longer serving you (even though it’s a tough decision).

Taste Buds And Beliefs
Taste buds are a lot like beliefs. They change over time. And they give us a “flavor” for how we experience food and life. Here’s what that means: You might have hated vegetables as a kid, but have learned to love them as you grew up. Similarly, if you’re unhappy with your life, you can change it by fixing your internal chemistry. In this episode, I’m revealing how changing your beliefs can help you change the “flavor” of your life and make you a happier version of yourself.

It's Your Life
We’re filled with ideas and beliefs our whole life. Whether it’s from our families, our religion, our hobbies, or something else. Sometimes these beliefs don’t expand our happiness. And they can fill us with more anxiety, depression, and misery. But we still cling to these ideas even though it leads to suffering because of the backlash we’d get if we were honest.

There Is No "Why"
Most people believe the lie that you need an underlying “why” to be successful. This sends people down the wrong path — they think becoming a better person will help them make more money. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, all this soul searching for a “why” is only delaying your success. The truth is you don’t need to understand something to get results. You just have to do the work.

Wheat and Tares
From childhood, we have fed our minds with different beliefs to help us get through life. Some beliefs empower us, while others slowly wreck our lives. Here’s the problem: Whatever you plant in your mind grows. If you think you’re not good enough, that little seed can blossom into a giant field in your mind and make you think you’re a failure.

The Subconscious Myth
Believing in the subconscious has improved many people’s mental health. But it doesn’t always help your mental health. In fact, believing in the subsconscious can often leave you powerless. Why?

The Secret of Sound
We take sound for granted. When we hear something, we don’t give ourselves enough credit — but we’re the one creating the sound! Otherwise, it would only be vibrations. And you can extend this to every aspect of your senses. You are the creator of your world. While that might sound scary, nothing is more powerful than realizing this. Because once you do, you realize you can change anything in your life you don’t like. In this episode, I’m sharing how your ears can dramatically improve how much joy you feel in your day-to-day life.

Leaving Lust in the Dust
I’ve noticed a lot of support groups zeroing in on being addicted to lust. The trouble with thinking you’re addicted to lust is that lust doesn’t exist — it’s simply an experience. More: Labeling your addictive behaviors with an abstract, vague term like lust makes it even harder to leave your addictions in the dust. In this episode, I’m sharing a new way to think about lust that will empower you to finally throw your addictions to the curb.

Hacking the 3 Brains
Most people try to solve their problems by simply talking about them. But this only deals with your thinking brain — not your sensing or feeling brain. That’s why you can talk endlessly about all your problems, but you can’t kick the root cause of why you feel that way. If you want to actually remove these problems from your system for good, you need to hack all 3 parts of your brain. In this episode, I’m sharing how you can rewire all 3 areas of your brain so you can experience true freedom for the first time since your childhood. Here Are The Show Highlights: Why affirmations won’t improve your life and usually backfire on you and derail your confidence (1:45) How giving yourself a pep talk creates more doubt in your mind (2:53) Why your problems can’t go away by only talking about them (and what to do instead) (10:39) The counterintuitive reason that thinking you’re NOT a failure proves that you believe you are (11:08) How silly childhood thoughts “taint” your belief system as an adult (14:53) The weird way your assumptions make life harder for you (16:07) How to hack your 3 brains and strangle your most traumatic memories to transform them into positive experiences (18:30) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Where is God in this?
Religion is supposed to lift you up. But too often, we fall into the trap of letting authority figures indoctrinate us — whether it comes from religion, a 12-step program, or something else. Falling into this trap makes finding true happiness impossible. Why? Because every person on the planet is unique and needs unique solutions to fix their problems. If you find something that works for you, use it. If it doesn’t, move on to another solution. In this episode I’m revealing why so many people fall into this indoctrination trap, how to free yourself from it, and how to add God into your life regardless of what you’re doing. Here Are The Show Highlights: Why thinking that true happiness can only come from religion is a recipe for misery (4:59) The insidious way worrying that something won’t work actually causes it to not work (7:40) How authority figures indoctrinate you and make true happiness impossible (9:32) Why you don’t necessarily need God to improve your mental health (10:19) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Skip the Psycho-drama, Find the Joy
Humans think about life like it’s a war. So we try to conquer all our problems by going to war with them. But there’s a glaring problem with this: War is a miserable way to live a life.

Removing History's Shine
It’s in our human nature to glamorize the past — both in our own lives and in the stories we learned growing up. For example, the Bible is full of mysticism that we think we’ve lost today. But the past is no different than right now. It’s simply the stories we tell ourselves that make us romanticize the past and ruin our opportunity to recreate it in the present. Our beliefs are stronger than we give them credit for. For example, if you believe you’re depressed, finding happiness will be impossible. On the flip side, if you believe you’re happy, happiness will naturally come to you. In this episode, I’m revealing how to remove history’s shine so that you can harness the same magic from the past to enhance your life today. Here Are The Show Highlights: How people unknowingly “milk” a few bad seconds into feeling miserable all day (7:37) The “Hotel Habit Method” that helps you effortlessly discover happiness (7:43) How your beliefs are powerful enough to banish dangerous diseases from your body (19:03) Why Biblical-level miracles seem impossible (and why they aren’t) (20:12) How ancient magic helps you conquer your toughest modern challenges (even “permanent” challenges like addiction and depression) (21:12) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Scapegoat Society
We live in a “scapegoat society.” From an early age, you’ve been subconsciously trained to blame others for your problems instead of yourself— whether your brainwashing comes from religion, school, your parents, or therapy. There’s a huge problem with this. When you blame someone else, you rob yourself of the ability to change your situation. But you can escape the scapegoat society by taking responsibility.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to tap into the power of accepting responsibility so you can regain control of your life and happiness.

Everyday Lies
Humans tell lies almost every day. And while they seem harmless on the surface, they’re far more deadly than we realize. Everytime you exaggerate or lie, it robs you of energy and happiness.

Erasing Anxiety and Stress
Most people suffering from anxiety think that it’s something they’ll always have to live with. But not only is this false, but it’s dangerous. Excessive stress and worry literally poisons your body.

Depression's Demise
Most conventional “experts” on depression are wrong. It’s possible to permanently dump depression. But not if you’re trying to prescribe the pain away with medications. Medications can’t solve the root cause of your problem. And while it’s not easy, you can make your depression disappear if you know the real reason you’re depressed.

Dog Vision
Dogs see things differently than humans. So which one sees what’s actually there? The truth is neither dogs nor humans see reality as it is. Instead, our brains make up images in our minds — based on what we believe to be true about the world. In other words, your vision is no better (or worse) than a dog’s vision. This is so important because it means your problems aren’t actually there. You see problems because your mind is playing tricks on you. In today’s episode, I reveal how to reframe the way you see the world so solutions to your problems effortlessly come to you — regardless of the obstacle you’re facing. Here Are The Show Highlights: Why your dog sees reality more clearly than you (1:59) How your mind creates problems that aren’t actually there (10:48) How learning to draw will help you live a more peaceful and free life (15:25) The devious way your mind plays tricks on you and creates false realities (like a VR headset) (16:33) The skill that makes your life 100x easier (17:09) How your own stupidity can be your secret weapon to a more fulfilling and prosperous life (17:31) How to make all of your problems magically disappear (18:38) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

On Winning and Losing
Our entire society thinks in terms of winning and losing. But can you really “win” or “lose” something? The truth is, there is no such thing as winning and losing. Winning is something we’ve created to give ourselves permission to feel happy and excited about life. But what if you could create happiness and excitement inside yourself without relying on external circumstances? Would you start living a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life? In this episode, I’m sharing why winning and losing isn’t important. And how you can create happiness and excitement inside yourself regardless of what’s happening around you.

Phooey On Big Decisions
Humans tend to make a big deal out of tiny problems. You’ve been trained your entire life — from your first homework assignment to your next job interview — to rely on fear to make decisions. You think that making the wrong decision means your life will crumble and wither away. And it makes sense — your ancestors needed this level of stress to survive in their times. But it only fills you with anxiety and dread in your modern life. In this episode, you’ll learn why all decisions are equally important, how to recontextualize every decision you make, and how to live a more unshackled life.

You're Not A Gun and You Don't Have Triggers
Most addiction experts are flat out wrong. In fact, they usually trap you in a cycle of victimhood and helplessness that makes it impossible to ditch your addictions. This is especially true when “triggers” are brought up. But you’re not a gun — so you don’t have triggers. What you’re doing is creating an excuse so you can feel better for falling back into your worst habits.

Here Are The Show Highlights: Why saying things in the dumbest way possible is the smartest decision you could make (1:58) How thinking of your addiction as a disease is a guaranteed way to increase your suffering (3:13) Why most addiction “experts” are brainless and incompetent noobs (3:23) How you’re “milking” your addiction to dupe the people around you to get what you want (5:33) How modern science subconsciously tricks you into making excuses for your addictions (6:23) The real reason you feel like a helpless victim to your addictions (8:19) The trick for making all of your triggers completely disappear (9:54) The unlikely source of all your suffering (14:00) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

The End of Relapse
Relapsing is usually considered a bad thing. But is it really that bad? The problem is when you say “relapse,” you’ve already placed a negative label on it. What if instead of labeling it as a negative event, you stepped back and saw it for what it truly was: Your brain signaling to you that your life could be improved. In this episode, I’m ending relapsing once and for all so you’re never a prisoner to your habits and addictions again.

The Illusion Of Control
There are two main philosophies guiding all of our lives. You either try to take control of every aspect of your life. Or you trust in the cosmos that everything will work out. And both seem pretty silly on the surface. Trying to control everything never works and ends in anxiety, depression, and worry. But passively hoping that everything will work out is equally as dangerous to your success. However, trying to control everything is more dangerous than the other philosophy. Why? Because control is rooted in fear. It’s true that you can’t passively sit back and let life happen to you, but trying to control everything creates far more misery and destruction. In this episode, I’m sharing with you how to apply both of these philosophies in your own life so you can create a better, happier life instead of creating more agony and despair. Here Are The Show Highlights: Why relying on your intellect and reason will set you up for failure (9:16) The hippy’s profoundly powerful secret for living a life free of unnecessary problems, stress, and worry (11:15) How logic and reason cage you in a rigid box without the key and deteriorates your life (12:13) The sneaky way control sabotages your relationships (16:52) Why trying to control every aspect of your life leads to anxiety and depression (19:50) How thinking about your own death instantly evaporates most of your fears (26:25) The trick to walk away free from addiction, suicidal thoughts, depression, and pain (27:13) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

The Armor of God? Part 1
Imagine how much easier your life would be if you felt calm and at peace regardless of what life throws at you. Most of your internal battles with yourself would instantly vanish. Not only would this help you embody happiness, but it would make you more successful at any task you set out to achieve.

The 5 Masks Of Emotion
Are you a prisoner to the whims of your emotions? Most people are. Why? They struggle with cutting through the clutter of their emotions. Instead of taking action to change their emotions to a better state, they sit and dwell about what they’re feeling. But it’s easier to change your emotional state than you think.

The Problem with "Knowing"
We live in a culture of knowledge. You’ve grown up your whole life believing that you need to know the answers to be valuable as a human being.

Bodhidharma and The Coaching Industry
Who are you? We all have names we go by everyday. Dad, mom, friend, brother, sister, mentor, teacher, employee, employer and the list goes on. We even spend hours a week developing these identities. But is that really who you are or is it just a title? Our attachments to these identities could be holding us back from experiencing life to its fullest. In today’s show we will discuss the identities we hold onto, how our focus on identity can be robbing us of our experiences, and how “I don’t know” can open us up to endless possibilities and deeper connections.

Zen Monks and Concealed Carry Permits
Life isn’t about what happens to you, it’s how you react to it. And most of us have a broken “permit” – it should protect us, but it actually causes us more harm. We have two options after something happens to us: acknowledge it and move on or carry it with us for an extended period of time. Today I’m talking about the “ammunition” we carry with us that nobody sees, but is ready to be used as soon as we feel threatened. And how you can control your emotions so you don’t accidentally cause unnecessary harm to yourself or to your loved ones.

Teachers are an extremely vital part of both our personal and professional development. They guide us through times when we need someone to point us in the right direction.

Sorry Not Sorry with Jasmine Gardner
‘I’m sorry.’ There’s a strong chance you use this phrase a lot. In fact, you probably use it way too much - and it’s not your fault. Society has taught us to say sorry - to feel sorry - whether we’re in the wrong or not. Today I’m joined by my wife Jasmine to talk about creating a relationship that matters, and not one that makes you right or wrong. Should you say you’re sorry? Do you even need to apologize? We’ve both got different views on this, but guess what? We’re still married. It’s still working. And today we want to help you build a stronger relationship too. Here Are The Show Highlights: Negotiating your way to a better relationship (1:45) A guy's addiction from a woman’s perspective - what’s it actually like? (3:20) The detrimental thing about an apology, and why “I’m sorry” doesn’t always translate (16:10) Is marriage just a set of business transactions? (17:00) The #1 reason why we have the hardest times with the people closest to us (19:15) If you or somebody you know is looking to drop the ‘F’ Bomb of freedom in your life and break free from addiction, depression, anxiety or anything that’s making you feel flat-out stuck, head over to www.liberateaman.com and book a call where we can look at your situation and give you the roadmap you’ve been missing.

Taking the Leap
It’s tough when you start moving in an unconventional direction for the very first time. You don’t yet have the confidence in yourself, there’s no proven roadmap to guide you, and it can seem overwhelming. So many people out there who want to change their lives step up and say “ “I want this, I’m going to do whatever it takes, I’m committed...” They get right to the edge, ready to take the leap into the unknown, then talk themselves out of it. “..It’s too expensive, I’m not sure it’s going to work out, my friends won’t like me if I do it.” Everything in our system shows up and says DON’T DO IT! We back off, we procrastinate, and we miss the life-changing experience on the other side of the unknown. Today we’re talking about taking that leap of faith when you don’t know how. If you truly desire something in life, the BEST place to be is the place where you don’t know: the freedom you’re looking for is waiting on the other side of the unknown. It’s up to you to take that leap.

Alive and Free INTRO
Time to rip the cover off what really works to ditch addiction, depression, anger, anxiety, and all other kinds of human suffering. No, not sobriety. We're talking the "F" word here – Freedom. We'll share straight from the trenches what we've learned from leaving our own addictions behind and coaching hundreds of others to do the same. And since it's such a heavy topic, we might as well have a good time while we're at it.
