How do you build agency and resilience in a world that profits from your distraction?

How can we live with authenticity when everything feels fake?

What if the hardest parts of being human are actually just a result of cultural conditioning, quietly shaping your life from the shadows of your subconscious mind?

On today’s show, we go deep with my friend Josh Trent, host of Wellness and Wisdom. We’ll dig into the science behind epigenetic and generational habits, and explore what happens when you start asking better questions about your life and grow beyond survival mode. 

As Josh shares, sometimes we need to break down to break through. 

On this episode, you'll discover:
  • The secrets to being impossibly productive while avoiding burnout
  • How to redirect faulty inherited beliefs and rewire maladaptive emotional patterns
  • How an addiction to pickleball destroyed a client's life
  • And much more...

Stuff You Should Know
Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
