From the Grave Podcast
Spiritual grit for rebuilding your life
Episodes
What if the breath is the bridge between your conscious and unconscious mind —
and you've been using it wrong your whole life?
In this episode, I sit down with Eric LaCour, breathwork facilitator, yoga
teacher, and founder of Preservation Yoga Studio in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Eric has built his entire teaching philosophy around two things: breath for
the body, story for the mind. W...
There’s a point where talking about change stops working…
and you’re forced to decide who you actually are.
In this episode, Scott sits down with Jeremy Plummer for a conversation about obsession, discipline, and the cost of choosing a path most people won’t take.
This isn’t about motivation or quick fixes.
It’s about what happens when you stop negotiating with yourself and commit fully — even when it’s uncomf...
Some people plan their lives.
Others follow the fire.
In this episode of From The Grave Podcast, Scott sits down with world-class striking coach Jason Strout for a raw, free-flowing conversation about obsession, fighting, skateboarding, punk rock, creativity, and the strange way life seems to guide us if we’re paying attention.
They talk about growing up in the 80s and 90s—building ramps from stolen plywood, skating cu...
This might be the funniest episode in FTG history… and somehow also one of the realest.
Zach Cohen (lead vocalist / guitarist of RedRumSociety) is back, and we go everywhere: moving to North Carolina, losing the band trying to save the band, not writing a song for three years, legal chaos, shame, identity, meditation, and what it feels like to come home and still feel empty.
We talk about the brutal (and holy) reality...
Fear doesn’t always leave when you pray.
In this episode, Scott Russell breaks down the difference between feeling fear and letting fear govern your life. He talks openly about anxiety, mental health medication, early recovery, shame, suicide ideation, and the spiritual confusion that can come when faith doesn’t immediately remove suffering.
Using the metaphor of childhood “monsters under the bed,” Scott explains:
• Wh...
In Episode 142, Scott breaks down the trap of being addicted to potential — the comfort of “I could’ve” and “someday” that keeps you from risking real effort and real change. He also dives into fear-based religion vs. lived spirituality, radical open-mindedness, and why you don’t need to broadcast belief… you need to walk it out.
Plus: a real-life moment from the lagoon — kids fishing, childhood nostalgia, and Connor...
EP 141 — Kick the Can
Most of us don’t relapse from drugs—we relapse from discomfort.
From emotions we never learned how to sit with.
From feelings that show up uninvited and demand to be seen.
In this episode, Scott talks:
- Navigating the “I’m not okay” moments in sobriety
- The lie that healing should feel good
- Why milestone anniversaries can feel heavier than expected
- The truth about emotional regression
- The o...
EP 140 — Reclaiming Your Inner Square Footage
Most of us are living in a tiny sliver of who we really are.
We’ve locked the doors to the rest of the house—afraid of the dark, the mess, the memories.
But what if the call is to reclaim every room?
In this episode, we dive into:
- Thought responsibility and emotional square footage
- Why the lie of “I need to use to be okay” keeps us trapped
- How to stop being a vict...

What Now? When the mental obsession is gone, a blank slate is left behind. In this powerful call from Chris D, two years sober and driving through the cusp of the White Mountains, we dive deep into the question: “Who am I now?”
In this burner call response, Scott unpacks the spiritual rebirth that happens in recovery — when the obsession lifts and we’re left with freedom… and fear. It's not about figur...

They dive deep in...
In this episode, Scott drops a spiritual sledgehammer on why we resist the simplest yet most powerful practices: prayer, meditation, and self-reflection. Why do we keep avoiding the very medicine that saves us? Why do we keep dragging around the Amazon box of our own pain, pretending we’re running from something outside us?
This is about confronting the old self, throwing him off, and stepping into the new. The call ...
In this episode, Scott unpacks one of the rawest, most powerful moments in scripture — Luke 23:43 — where a dying thief turns to Jesus and simply says, “Remember me.” No perfect prayer. No religious performance. Just pain, honesty, and surrender.
This is about the real gospel — the one that meets you in the mess.
It’s not about being clean or holy. It’s about being willing.
Scott reflects on how God’s love showed ...
In this Rip Clip we unpack the brutal truth about addiction’s promise of power—and how it always comes up empty.
Addiction gives you the summit in seconds, then rips you back to the bottom. We talk about the cycle of chasing okayness through bottles, baggies, and bullshit... and how the real power was never out there to begin with.
This is about breaking the curriculum of instant gratification. Abo...
🎙️ EPISODE 137: Ego Improv
“Your ego is doing improv in your skull—and we call it truth? Nah. That’s pain with a mic.”
In this soul-shaking solo riff, Scott pulls apart the destructive improv routine running in our minds and lays out how to reclaim authorship over your inner narrative. Inspired by The Untethered Soul, this episode explores the power of simply witnessing your thoughts instead of becoming them.
Scott un...
We all carry wounds. The question is—do we weaponize them or let them wake us up?
In this episode, Scott rips into our addiction to suffering and how we use our pain as currency, identity, and even power. From whining and blame to self-imposed isolation, we explore how easy it is to mistake victimhood for virtue. But here’s the truth: your limp isn’t your shame—it’s your initiation.
Scott dives into:
- Why some peopl...
In this episode of From the Grave Podcast, Scott explores the paradox of comfort—the lie that comfort comes from avoiding discomfort. True discomfort actually blooms when we hide behind the illusion of ease. Pushing through limiting beliefs, even when it’s painful, leads to real and lasting freedom.
Scott calls into question the contemporary obsession with hustle, grind, and sleepless ambition. In an age that screams...
In this episode of From the Grave Podcast, we break down the brutal and beautiful truth of The Hero’s Journey. This isn’t some fairy tale — it’s about getting gutted by life, dragged into the dark, and clawing your way back with something real to offer. We talk about the call that wrecks your comfort zone, the storms that tear you apart, and the raw power found in facing the thing you fear the most. From The Matrix ...
You're waiting for a cat to bark. It sounds like you are expecting mangos from a fig tree. Standing around waiting for the world to change or God to do it for you. How can they not see my beliefs? Courage to change the things you can and the real version of the Serenity Prayer. The clutch falls out. The good part is you are now a part of Life. This puts a responsibility on your shoulders. The weeds within the g...
