What Happens to Your Mind After 10 Days of Complete Silence? | A Radical Experiment in Disconnection
Could complete silence transform how you see yourself and the world? In this riveting episode, our guest (known as Mr. 'X') reveals what happened when he disconnected entirely from modern life - no speaking, no phones, no eye contact, not even a gesture - for 10 straight days.
His raw account of 4AM wake-up bells, nine hours of daily meditation, and surprising physical and mental challenges will make you question everything you think you know about silence, connection, and your own capacity for transformation. Learn how what started as a personal challenge became a profound journey into understanding pain, attachment, and the human condition.
Mr. 'X' shares candid insights about:
- The unexpected physical demands of sitting in silence
- How the mind adapts when every distraction is stripped away
- The surprising truth about pain and suffering
- What happens when you can't escape your own thoughts
- How modern comforts shape our relationship with ourselves
- The real challenge of returning to "normal" life
Whether you're curious about meditation, questioning your relationship with technology, wondering about your own limits, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of the human mind, this conversation offers rare insights into what happens when we dare to disconnect completely from the modern world.
Join us for a fascinating exploration of what it truly means to be alone with yourself - and what that teaches us about being human.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
