In this inspiring episode of FATUM: The Soul’s Journey to Your Greatest Self, host Destin Judy sits down with acclaimed actor, teacher, and thought leader Josh Pais — best known as Raphael in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and founder of Committed Impulse.
Together, they explore Josh’s new book, Lose Your Mind: The Path to Creative Invincibility and the deeper meaning of presence, emotion, and authentic expression. Josh shares his mission to help people PLAY, his journey from New York City, and the influence of his extraordinary parents — a theoretical physicist who worked with Einstein and a poet-painter mother. Destin and Josh dive into the vibration of emotion, the power of atoms, and the freedom found in dropping labels to access true creative flow.
The episode culminates in a guided 4 Access Points exercise, straight from Josh’s book — a practice to help you feel more deeply and reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence. Josh closes with a Healing Minutes meditation, inviting viewers to release tension, dissolve “body armor,” and step into full aliveness.
