Rageheart

She was 13 when they told her she had ADD. So they gave her Ritalin. That turned into coke. Then meth. But the real problem? It was never focus. It was dissociation. Disconnection. A nervous system stuck in survival. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Selden Beylouni opens up about her journey from diagnosis to addiction to something even rarer… authenticity. We talk stimulants, freeze states,...

Lisa thought she had it all handled. A career. A family. Four kids. A clean bill of mental health. Then her face exploded. Swollen. Red. Unrecognizable. Her body was screaming what her brain refused to admit: She was  not  fine. This wasn’t burnout. It wasn’t stress. It was decades of survival-mode living catching up with a vengeance. In this episode, we unpack the meltdown – and the somatic awake...

You feel fine. You handle your shit. You make money. You lift. You “do the work.” So why does life still feel like a fucking flatline? In this episode, Mitch Webb and I rip the lid off a truth most men will die never knowing: You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. You’re frozen. Stuck in a state where everything feels… muted. Dull. Like you’re watching your life through a dirt...

Let me ask you something: What’s it costing you to ignore your body? Burnout? Missed decisions? Lost money?

High-paid business consultant who can dissect a profit-loss sheet in seconds. For five years, every time I mentioned...

So instead of an interview today, I thought I’d do something a little different. There are already a million podcasts out there interviewing experts. And yeah, I’ll still do more of those. There’s value in them. But there are some things I want to talk about — things I don’t always get to go deep into when I’ve got a guest on. And today, I want to talk about something I think is fucking cool (but...

Your body is not your own. It’s hijacked. Every time you scroll the news, read a headline, watch another clip – it spikes your nervous system. Not by accident. On purpose. Fear sells. Rage converts. Shame keeps you compliant. The media doesn’t care about truth. It cares about activation – getting you angry, afraid or defensive enough to click, share, scream. In this episode, I sit down with Joe Ma...

How far are you willing to go to meet yourself? Not the filtered, smiling, Insta-version of you. Not the you that does gratitude journaling or goes to yoga retreats to feel “grounded.” I’m talking about the raw, unedited YOU. The kind you keep hidden. This week, I bring on Severin Geser, a man who guides people into total darkness — no light, no screens, no escape — for days on end. It’s called a...

For years, I’ve told people that I HATE social media. Really. I’ve literally avoided it for years. No Facebook, Instagram or TikTok. No Twitter. No Snapchat. But a few months ago, after a conversation with a friend, I decided to give it another shot. My friend wouldn’t shut up about these things called “reels”. He said it might be a good way to get the word out about Rageheart. So I decided to giv...

Let’s talk about sex baby… …again 😂 This time, I’m talking with Alice Little. She’s a 4’8″ legal sex worker. A sex educator. Intimacy expert.

So if you’ve ever assumed that sex work is not a viable, lucrative or rewarding career, think again. To top things o...

And what were some of the most powerful lessons along the way? He describes this journey beautifully in one of his emails: "One of my more profound realizations –– and gifts of grief –– was that I had u...

SEX 🥵 It’s everyone’s favorite topic. We think about it. Talk about it. Dream about it. Joke about it. And if we try to suppress or avoid it… …it comes out sideways (say hello to the Catholic Church). So whether we accept and embrace it… …or repress and suppress it… …there’s no denying the fact that sexual energy is here to stay. The only question is: Will you have a healthy relationship with you...

Have you tried “all the things” to feel “better” but keep hitting dead ends and running into walls? That’s literally what today’s podcast guest said when I asked him about his journey to health and healing. He’d tried it all and yet he still wasn’t healthy. He’d also known about the nervous system approach for years (and how important and foundational these topics are)… …but he couldn’t get himsel...

In late 2018, I had one of my first ayahuasca ceremonies and it blew me apart (in both good and bad ways). The ceremony itself was great but afterwards, I had a lot of trouble coming back to my day-to-day life. Bills? Rent? Work? What are these things again? I remember feeling like I was in a boat and I couldn't see the shore I'd left anymore... but I also couldn't see the other side of the lake y...

Seth Lyon is the first person I met in the nervous system healing world. I discovered him after punching "TRE vs somatic experiencing" into Google. That led me to an article that he'd written and after reading that, I was sold. Something told me... this is it. This is what I've been searching for. I don't know how I knew but I just knew. Immediately after reading the article, I clicked over to his...
