There's a difference between learning and experiential learning. With experiential learning, you go through life and you get knocked down. Maybe you become an addict for a while or you go through broken relationships and blame it on other people. Then you wake up one morning thinking the last three relationships didn't work out; maybe it's me. From that point, you are on a mission of growth and of finding your purpose in life. To grow and have a true purpose you need emotional inventory, self-awareness, connection with a higher power, as well as curiosity and humility. - Josh Trent Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Josh's parents' contracts on earth and their unique life journeys. How we can tune and find our way as we experience and embody different emotions. David R. Hawkins The different obstacles we all face as we go from the lowest frequency, shame, to the highest ones of love and courage. How being uncomfortable with where we are at in life will force us to move through different frequencies of emotions. The lower frequencies such as despair that Josh stayed at for a long time and why he needed that to help him grow. Why addiction can happen when we are disconnected from ourselves. [12:30] Safety is an Illusion Backlash Josh experienced when he tried to white knuckle and force his way rather than be present and apply embodied wisdom. The price we pay when we force ourselves to be "square" and make things happen. Whey we're designed to be "round" in order to live life well. How we can begin to be proactive and take care of ourselves and our loved ones. The importance of honoring the mystery of life especially when sad experiences happen to us like someone becoming sick or world devastation. Where we can find safety: being right here, right now in the present moment. Josh's own massive wake-up health and growth moment at a party when he was 21 years old. How Josh's personal life conflicted with the wellness focus of being a personal trainer. The powerful process of gathering, applying, and embodying wisdom but why so many of us like Josh did can get stuck in the gathering phase. [19:45] How Self-Love Practices Make a Difference Josh's daily wellness practice. LMNT 403 Robb Wolf | Electrolytes: How Sodium, Potassium & Magnesium Help To Beat Brain Fog M21 guide McCraven's advice of making your bed every day to prime the brain for achieving. Why the very first thing Josh does in the morning is make his bed and then drinks LMNT or mixes salt with lime in water. The power of breathwork and why Josh does it before working out or any kind of movement. Why it's key to do breathwork before meditation in the morning. The additional cold and warm therapy that Josh adds to his morning before he gets to work. Why it's been so important for Josh to start his day by loving himself through these wellness practices and how he feels if he doesn't do them. Different sleep archetypes and how the seasons impact our circadian rhythms as well. [24:00] Concepts of God & Embodiment & Humility Josh's concept of God and his relationship with it. Alan Watts Lao Tzu Paul Chek | All is God Josh's past anger towards God and how he has healed since. How Josh's concept of God meets with embodiment. 086 Creating The Unbeatable Mind With Mark Divine 410 Mark Divine | Positive Neurodiversity: Kokoro Spirit, The 5 Mountains For Inner Peace, & How To Fulfill Your Potential Why Josh now always takes a pause and a breath before answering most questions right away. 424 Johnny Elsasser The Wildman Experience Exploring the connection between embodiment and humility. [32:00] Be Careful of Unearned Wisdom How to integrate the wisdom earned during a guided plant medicine ceremony or psychedelic experience. Jordan Peterson The key message that Jordan Peterson shares with everyone: be careful of unearned wisdom. Why it takes us much longer to integrate and embody wisdom from Mother Earth than we think it does. The responsibility we all have to heal ourselves. Unpacking epigenetics and how lifestyle can impact our mental, physical, and emotional health. Why it's important to be careful and aware during plant ceremonies of our parents' and grandparents' unhealed traumas. The deep connection that Josh had with his grandfather during one plant medicine ceremony. How to prepare yourself in multiple ways before you ever attend a plant medicine ceremony or psychedelic experience. Josh's bad experience during his last plant medicine ceremony because of the improper way it was prepared by the hosts and the fact that he's still integrating and healing from it 2 years later. What could've happened to Josh if had not done the preparatory work before his last ceremony. Why it's perfectly fine to not be called to something like ketamine, plant medicine, or other psychedelics unless it's something that can help you with the right professional guidance. [41:45] Embodying Wisdom with Breathwork 416 Ben Stewart The power of breathwork and why it is life. How we sacrifice the way that we breathe because we develop these coping strategies to stress. 358 Dr. Belisa Vranich How Josh helps people improve and embody their breath as a tremendous healing practice. Why tears and breath are steps toward being truly strong, embodied, and integrated. Gwen Payne 282 Anahata Ananda 249 Niraj Naik [48:45] Discovering & Embodying Purpose in 4 Steps Why self-awareness is key for finding your purpose. The fact that you might be living someone else's purpose if you have not yet cultivated self-awareness. Differences between learning and experiential learning. Why it's not just one thing but 3-4 things necessary to help you find your purpose. How purpose can shift and change over time as we grow and develop. Why we need more emotional intelligence training in schools and how Meg's son's class is actually focusing on this in their curriculum. Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey Why everyone must go on their own Hero's Journey during their lifetime. The three types of people in the world: sheep (which is most people), wolves preying on the sheep trying to get power, and then there are shepherds that are really trying to help the sheep. Why we have to be aware of the "goody-two-shoes" who believe they know what is best for everyone else because a lot of times their motive isn't pure. When the need for control and making decisions for other people comes from a place of fear and contraction. How our internal issues force us to wake up, especially during eras like CV 19. Power Quotes From The Show Raise Your Vibration "If you look at David R. Hawkins' work and you understand the frequencies of each emotion, the lowest possible frequency in the entire world is shame. As you climb the ladder from shame towards love, there are many rungs of the ladder that we have to grip and learn how to climb on. It's not until about 250 on a frequency basis that we actually get to courage. So, I think maybe some of us have to rifle around in these lower frequencies so that we became so uncomfortable that we would actually go from despair to anger and from there to courage, love, and eventually purpose." - Josh Trent How an Unhealthy Drive Harms Us "To do anything in life, there are so many things that have to be welcomed in and allowed space for otherwise we're just white-knuckling and our drivenness actually harms us. This unhealthy drive actually becomes a disease that we can be aware of unless we're presented and tune into ourselves." - Josh Trent Purpose Can Shift Over Time "Purpose can shift and change over time. Some people are lucky and know that from 3 years old they want to be a fireman but I was never one of those people. When people just know what they're meant to do, it can be called their God-given purpose but I think it can still shift. Then answer depends on a lot of different variables for each person." - Josh Trent Links From Today's Show I Am Driven Podcast I Am Driven by Dr. Doug Brackmann Take the Driven Assessment BREATHE: Breath and Wellness David R.
