Josh Trent welcomes Pedram Shojai, Taoist priest, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and Qi Gong Master, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 781, to explore how modern society has become a parasitic system designed to steal our focus, time, and divine connection, how language, self-talk, and unconscious patterns shape our reality, and why reclaiming awareness restores the power to co-create with God.
