It takes a radical form of honesty that most humans will struggle to fully embody. Of course, as we learn and grow, admitting when we are wrong becomes easier, as it allows us to see the value in the practice.  But admitting to yourself the faults that create the internal struggle that holds you back from happiness, that is what I mean by “radical”.In this issue, I discuss the ego’s role in stimulating emotions such as shame, guilt, and fear that prevent you from embodying the vulnerability needed heal past wounds and reveal your true self. Support the show (http://paypal.me/thealphapump)

Issue 1.16: Why is it so hard to admit your faults?

Without self-awareness, happiness and success are just a dream; something you aspire for, but without any real grounding for growth. When we allow our actions to be dictated by learned behaviors that are not aligned with our true self, we grow further away from the person we actually are. Although this seems like growth, it is built on a base of false identity, that leaves you chasing after the person you want to be, and falling farther behind.In this issue, I dive into the depths of self-awareness to give you a clear understanding of its importance in living a happy and successful life.Support the show (http://paypal.me/thealphapump)

Erick Godsey

It’s the most important work you will ever do in your life, and yet it’s the most avoided. It is introspection. The examination or observation of your own mental and emotional processes. Without teachers like Erick Godsey, this can also be very challenging and even defeating. This process takes time, patience, energy, and compassion while ever evolving with the external challenges you will face in life. In this issue, Erick and I decided to take a small dose of psilocybin prior to our conversation, where we discuss our different and similar practices and methodologies for successfully navigating introspection.    Support the show (http://paypal.me/thealphapump)

The Origin of Think for Happiness

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? In my recent experience, during times of friction, the universe is telling you to stop, take a moment to think and reflect, and then move forward with actions aligned with your intentions and purpose. Stopping does not mean you are not still moving, it is a part of the whole journey that propels you forward.In this issue, I discuss the three life-changing lessons that I learned during the Corona “Quarantine” that I always “knew” but truly came to embody into my being.Support the show (http://paypal.me/thealphapump)

One who explores a true holistic route to healing, ripping off band aids and digging deeper to find the root cause of your pain.In this Issue, Zack interviews Dr. Jessica Warnecke, where they discuss why signals of pain are felt in our body, how stress affects our musculoskeletal system, and how self-care and taking advantage of preventative medicine is crucial for longevity.Support the show (http://paypal.me/thealphapump)
