Storytelling Podcasts

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 have a good time while we're at it. Because, despite what you may have been told, real freedom never involves a fight.

Bad Therapy by Abigail Shrier

Body-Based Approach to Happiness, Health, and Well-being.

3/7/2024
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: Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?
