What if the grief you carry isn't a burden, but a teacher?
In this deeply moving episode, Brian is joined by integrative healer Dr. Richard Grossman to explore how trauma—no matter how devastating—can become a path to awakening. With over 40 years of experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Amazonian plant medicine, Dr. Grossman shares the pivotal moment he received the message: “Trust and forgive.”
Together, they dive into why true healing often begins not with answers, but with presence. Whether you're wrestling with recent loss, ancestral trauma, or feeling stuck despite years of therapy, this conversation offers a fresh lens—and genuine hope.
🔑 Key Topics:
- 🌱 Trauma as a doorway—not a dead end
- 🧬 How generational trauma can live in the body
- 🍃 The role of plant medicines like Ayahuasca in emotional healing
- 💡 Why understanding pain isn't always necessary to release it
- 🎯 How to stop carrying the "backpack" of old wounds
- 🙌 Learning to be with suffering without analysis or judgment
- ✨ What it means to "see the tree as a tree"—and life as magic
