What followed was ayahuasca in the Amazon, 11 Vipassana retreats, and a commitment to make a real difference in how people take care of their health.He’s open about the parts of the journey nobody posts: the black mold years, the divorce, the accusation during cancel culture, and the decision to go celibate and work on himself.Troy and I talk about what a man’s mission actually demands of him, why feminism destroyed the family, and why hookup culture is a dead-end road. He also gets specific about raising a 14-year-old daughter and an 18-year-old son in a world of fentanyl-laced everything and pornography on tap.His answer is presence, staying close to his kids, and saying things most dads avoid.You’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:38] From modeling to Miami excess: Troy's life before the awakening[10:02] How sobriety, Vipassana, and ayahuasca in the Amazon gave birth to Certified Health Nut[18:16] Black mold, abandonment, and the inner work beneath the mission[30:45] How feminism and hookup culture broke the family[35:20] What the Amazon awakened in Troy about fatherhood, legacy, and procreation as a prime directive[47:17] Marriage as a sacred covenant and where the divine feminine narrative led him astray[54:14] Why Troy's mission and his role as a father are the same thing, not competing priorities[01:04:28] The celibacy window: sexual energy, self-work, and the blueprint for Troy's next relationship[01:15:22] Taking the toxic load seriously without the neurosis that reads as fragility👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

Can human design and acting help you connect in a better way with other people?In this episode, I sit down with Yerasimos Stilianessis. He was raised in New Jersey by Greek immigrant parents and grew up inside a culture shaped by hard work, responsibility, and resilience. Rather than following the expected path, he chose a different direction, one marked by travel, acting and theater training, and decades of personal development work rooted in self-honesty.Acting and performance became unexpected entry points into parts work, emotional awareness, and a more nuanced relationship with the inner world. Over time, truth seeking shifted from external confrontation to internal regulation, especially in the aftermath of years spent immersed in activism.Somatic awareness, masculine embodiment, and the challenge of holding autonomy alongside connection run throughout the conversation, particularly in the context of relationships strained by opposing worldviews. Stories from growing up around Greek diners in New Jersey ground these themes in culture, lineage, and lived experience.This episode is for listeners who feel less called to persuade, and more called to live in alignment with what they know.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:20] How Greek diners in New Jersey shaped early identity and relational awareness[10:45] What breaking from the expected success path unlocked internally[18:30] How acting training revealed parts work and psychological depth[27:15] Why questioning health narratives became a catalyst for truth seeking[36:40] What the body exposes when speaking publicly under pressure[45:10] Why post-2020 burnout reshaped views on activism and attention[53:25] How masculine embodiment shifts from persuasion to lived values[01:01:10] Why peace and presence emerge as mature expressions of truth👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

If you feel the need to always speak your opinions, you might be “addicted” to seeking the attention of others.In this episode, I unpack one of the most charged questions I hear: how to tell whether you’re self abandoning or actually accepting reality. There are subtle ways codependency shows up, even in people who think they’re being calm, spiritual, or evolved… especially when silence becomes a strategy.Over-speaking and under-speaking, and how both can be driven by the same nervous system impulse, are two common patterns I see again and again. We talk about anxious attachment, avoidant tendencies, and the “giving to get” dynamic that drains your sense of self. You’ll also hear why trying to get someone else to see your perspective often costs more than it gives, and how real boundaries begin with knowing what you want, not managing how others live their lives. This conversation is for anyone tired of performing self-control while feeling internally split, and ready to build self-trust that doesn’t depend on being understood.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:02] The difference between self-abandonment and letting others live their lives[02:14] Why “giving to get” turns both silence and speaking up into self-betrayal[03:21] The subtle ways codependency hides inside helping, supporting, or being reasonable[04:28] What’s really happening when you need someone else to see your perspective[05:46] How anxious attachment drives over-explaining without meeting your actual needs[07:12] When withdrawal and invisibility start to look like maturity while eroding self-trust[09:03] How to recognize when your voice is coming from control instead of self-attunement[11:01] Why real boundaries start with knowing what you want, not managing others👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

What if the breakthrough you’re chasing doesn’t come from digging into your past, but from stepping into the future version of you who already made the shift?In this conversation with Dr. Joe Dispenza, I share what happened when I attended one of his in-person retreats. I went in assuming I wasn’t the target audience. I already felt “healthy.” But watching people transform without revisiting old wounds or tracing root causes cracked something open for me. Some changed in a single meditation. These weeklong immersions push people past the point where they normally stop, creating measurable shifts in their brains and bodies.We talk about why people stay stuck, the role of victim consciousness and secondary gain, and the emotional patterns behind health issues, money struggles, and relationship loops. And then we dive into abundance — the topic Joe resisted teaching — and why it’s really an issue of identity, not circumstance.Because once you understand how your internal state shapes your external world, the entire map of healing changes.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[07:14] Why one long meditation can upend the belief that healing requires visiting your past[08:38] What shifts when a weeklong immersive pushes you past your usual stopping point[21:14] Why Joe rejects the “guru effect” and keeps the transformation off himself[25:47] How volunteers and coherence groups expose the real engine behind this work[39:04] The moment Joe finally agreed to teach abundance after years of resisting[41:29] Why expanding abundance beyond money reshapes daily life[49:02] The traits that keep sick or financially struggling people locked in survival mode[50:35] How dropping excuses and worst-case thinking becomes the pivot to abundance[59:03] What opens when you feel your future before it arrives👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

Access the Audacious Embodiment recordings here.What’s the real difference between erotic energy and sexual energy, and why has that distinction been so deeply confused?In this episode, I respond to a question that opens into embodiment, sensation, and what I call erotic artistry, not as sex or stimulation, but as vital force. I talk about how many of us live in functional freeze, moving through life on autopilot, and how practices that bring us back into sensation can interrupt dissociation and anchor us in our felt experience. This episode explores female embodiment, eros vs sex, and how prioritizing the senses—comfort, pleasure, movement, and presence—can awaken creative energy and aliveness in the body, moment by moment.You’ll Learn: [00:00] Introduction[00:01:02] The real difference between eros and sexual energy[00:02:46] Living in functional freeze turns life into autopilot and disconnects you from sensation[00:04:41] Prioritizing the senses moment by moment awakens creative energy and embodied aliveness[00:06:54] Intense sensation can be completely non-sexual and still bring you back into your felt experience[00:08:58] Choosing vitality over survival becomes a conscious, embodied practice rather than an ideaWant to start a podcast like this one?

Hear Amerly's first interview here, and listen to this related podcast on food boundaries here.What if your so-called food intolerances are really about your parents? In this episode, I sit down with my friend and mentor Amerly Centeno, a Family Constellation trainer and teacher whose work braids German New Medicine with ancestral dynamics. We trace my long, rigid history of cutting out gluten and dairy and lay it alongside the symbolic lens where those foods stand in for mother and father. From my Hashimoto's diagnosis to the first croissant I chose to eat in Europe after fifteen years without a molecule of gluten or dairy, I walk you through the inner shifts that made that experiment even possible. Tune in if you suspect your patterns with eating might be about much more than food.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:52] Why cutting out gluten and dairy can turn into an identity instead of a choice[09:47] What one bite of a “forbidden” food exposes about hidden rules in your body[12:36] How a small yes to pleasure can disrupt years of rigidity[14:52] Why feeling safer inside shifts how you digest the same foods[18:41] The reason symptoms can act as a biological solution when you can’t find one consciously[21:32] How early attachment patterns shape the way you take in nourishment[27:54] Why gluten and dairy often mirror the father and mother in the ancestral field[33:12] What changes when you stand as the adult child of two imperfect parents[40:52] How rigid health protocols can echo immature containment instead of true choice[44:10] Why some eating disorders reflect an unconscious loyalty to someone who didn’t get to live👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

What if the holidays you grew up with were never actually the real story? In this episode, I sit down with Lara J. Day, whose work around the winter season grew out of her own frustration with commercial holidays and her unexpected discovery of a practice that changed how she moved through the entire year. She brings a careful, deeply researched lens to where our modern traditions came from and how they were reshaped long before we inherited them.Old narratives begin to crumble when you hear how many of our rituals were engineered, borrowed, or rewritten. Fresh space opens when you realize there’s a quieter rhythm beneath the noise that most of us have never been taught to notice. The opportunity is choosing how you want to relate to this season without blindly repeating what was handed down. By the end, you’ll see why small shifts during this window can ripple through your entire year.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:50] Why rejecting commercial holidays can open the door to a more meaningful ritual season[06:26] What happens when solstice becomes the anchor that replaces the pressure of traditional celebrations[08:14] The reason skepticism about holiday stories can point toward a deeper desire for truth[10:05] How a practice discovered after becoming a parent reshaped an entire relationship to the season[13:47] Why understanding the origins of holidays changes how you participate in them[19:02] What the four-layer pattern behind modern holidays reveals about power, culture, and control[23:39] How aligning with seasonal rhythms shifts your inner world during the darkest part of the year[28:56] Why the curated version of Christmas was engineered to replace chaotic, older winter traditions[36:30] What ancient myths about reindeer, mushrooms, and midwinter spirits hint about cultural blending[44:05] How the 13-night practice uses nature, dreams, and synchronicity to map the coming yearResources Mentioned:The Battle for Christmas by Stephen Nissenbaum | Book or Audiobook13 Sacred Nights Oracle Deck by Lara J.

Learn more about Kelly's Relaxed Woman System here.What if everything we’ve been told about birth, the body, and belonging to the system was backwards? In this episode, I sit down with Veda Ray, a wife, a mother, and a guide for families reclaiming sovereignty through conception, pregnancy, and birth. Her work brings a calm, grounded clarity to topics that most of us were taught to fear, from ancestral trauma to the spiritual role of the placenta. She lives what she teaches, and her story begins long before the birth room.We trace how disconnection begins generations before conception, how modern birth rituals mirror that separation, and what it looks like to restore the bond to your body, your baby, and even your lineage. We go where few conversations dare to go: birth certificates, circumcision, and the quiet decision to raise children outside the system. You’ll see why remembering what’s natural isn’t rebellion, it’s homecoming.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[08:52] The turning point that forced Veda to stop outsourcing her health and trust her body again[16:03] How ancestral trauma can pass through generations, and what it takes to break the pattern before birth[19:47] The surprising imprint a mother’s first thoughts can leave on her baby[27:04] Why revisiting your own birth story can rewrite more than memories[35:56] What a lotus birth really is and the spiritual logic behind letting nature finish the process[47:15] How questioning routine procedures like circumcision can wake you up from medical hypnosis[55:59] The hidden legal meaning of a birth certificate and what opting out actually means[1:06:39] Why redefining motherhood beyond career or convenience can rewire your entire sense of purpose👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?
