Find The Others

Stop walking through the world with your blinders on…you're missing the magic!In this episode, I break down what I call the Open Energy Practice: an intentional way of showing up that turns ordinary moments into real connection, synchronicity, and joy. And yes, sometimes free ice cream.I share a couple of recent stories, including a simple question I asked a woman at the grocery store that genuinely moved her, and a hot bar run at Erewhon that turned into a whole vibe. These moments show you how small shifts in your energy can completely change your experience of daily life.But here's the thing: staying open isn't just about the good stuff. It's about not shutting down when that email pisses you off, when someone cuts you off in traffic, or when life gets hard. I'll walk you through how to stay open even then, plus a simple protection prayer I use to keep my energy safe when I'm out in the world.If you're ready to stop moving through life on autopilot and start inviting in the blessings, this one's for you.Key takeaways:Why open energy is an unfair advantage for connection and joyHow to humanize everyday interactions (and why people notice)The protection prayer that keeps your energy safeHow to stay open even when things get hardA challenge: try this for one day and watch what comes backYour miracles are waiting. You just have to be open to receive them.👉 View details on Iceland Retreat: https://www.intothewildwithin.com/iceland-mar2026 👉 Buy Cosmic Breadcrumbs now on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4r5r4h4👉 Join the FTO WhatsApp group chat: https://www.joshuadeanchurch.com/ftogroup

Stop relying on willpower to achieve your goals—it's setting you up to fail. And stop should-ing all over yourself!! In this episode, I break down why your conscious mind (just 5% of your total mental power) can't win against your subconscious wiring (the other 95%), and what you can do instead.You'll discover the difference between push energy and pull energy, why motivation is like kindling but inspiration is the deeper log that keeps burning, and how to transform your "shoulds" into "musts" by finding your real leverage.I share personal examples—from staying in shape for my nieces and nephews to showing up on this mic for you—plus a powerful story from Tony Robbins about finding the leverage that actually creates lasting change.If you're tired of burning out, tired of the grind, and ready to catch the wave instead of constantly paddling, this episode is for you.Key takeaways:The 5 horses vs. 95 horses framework for understanding willpowerHow to motivate yourself to the point of inspirationWhy your leverage is almost never about you (and that's a good thing)The "one thing" question that makes everything else easier or unnecessaryIt's time to stop should-ing all over yourself and start living with pull, not push.👉 Buy Cosmic Breadcrumbs now on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4r5r4h4👉 Join the FTO WhatsApp group chat: https://www.joshuadeanchurch.com/ftogroup

Monday morning, 6am, halfway through my workout, I lost my core brace on an RDL and felt my back tweak. Instantly I knew: frustration, fear, anger, and the urge to shut down and numb out for the rest of the day. Sound familiar?In this solo episode, I walk you through exactly what happened in real time as I navigated a back injury mid-week, mid-momentum, with a packed schedule and a big day ahead. I share the full spiral that hit me, the reframes I used to shift out of it, and the powerful breakthrough I received sitting in a cold tub that literally brought me to tears.This one is raw, honest, and still unfolding as I record it.Key Takeaways:You don't have to feel 100% to show up 100%. That's the practice.When life throws a curveball, the quality of your life is determined by how you respond, not by the curveball itself."How might this be happening for me?" is the most powerful reframe you can sit with.The desire to numb out is a signal that a breakthrough is waiting on the other side. Don't numb out, tap in.Your body is always communicating. Pain is not failure, it's a signal that your body is working exactly as designed.You have everything you need within you. Stop outsourcing your own knowing.Still healing, still in it, still sharing the journey with you.👉 View details on Iceland Retreat: https://www.intothewildwithin.com/iceland-mar2026 👉 Buy Cosmic Breadcrumbs now on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4r5r4h4👉 Join the FTO WhatsApp group chat: https://www.joshuadeanchurch.com/ftogroup

What happens when you strip away food, comfort, and every excuse for 21 days straight... while working six days a week, doing 350 push-ups every morning, and being a full-time single dad? You meet yourself in a way most people never will.In this episode, I sit down with my brother Frank Roby on day 20 of his 21-day water fast. Frank has been doing extended fasts for over six years, including a full 40-day fast during which he went from 188 to 135 pounds, built a business, and navigated the 2020 shutdown. This conversation happened in real time, in the trenches, and what came through was nothing short of powerful.We get into how Frank learned to literally speak to his body and command his stomach to stop growling mid-growl, why the "maybe" is the most dangerous word when you're pursuing anything meaningful, how fasting rewires your relationship with hunger, discipline, and integrity, the biblical and spiritual roots of fasting and why Frank calls it a "direct line to your Creator," what it means to fast while making your son's favorite pizza and tucking him in smelling like pizza grease, and why opposition isn't something to fear but confirmation that growth is on the other side.Key Takeaways:You are one decision away from changing your entire existence. The power is in the deciding.99% is a bitch, 100% is a breeze. Leave no room for the "maybe."Opposition is confirmation. If nothing's fighting you, nothing's at stake.The low hanging fruit is usually rotten. Reach higher.Your mind is the real opponent. Your stomach goes quiet, but your brain never stops looking for a crack.Don't fear the fast, fear the excuse. Start small, stay consistent, and never break a commitment to yourself.If this episode lights something in you, reach out. Frank is building a platform called The Fit Fast for the fasting community, and we're putting together a group fast you can join. Lock in, stay blessed, stay focused, and make the decision.👉 View details on Iceland Retreat: https://www.intothewildwithin.com/iceland-mar2026 👉 Buy Cosmic Breadcrumbs now on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4r5r4h4👉 Join the FTO WhatsApp group chat: https://www.joshuadeanchurch.com/ftogroup

You are a pattern breaker. You just might not know it yet.In this episode, I reflect on facilitating over 100 people through retreats (and thousands more through breathwork and cold immersion experiences) and break down the five patterns I see come up again and again. These aren't random. These are the patterns we all share in some way, shape, or form. And the beautiful thing? They can all be reprogrammed.I share real stories from retreats, from a woman who couldn't ask for help zipping up her jacket to a high powered businesswoman who was so deep in her masculine she'd lost touch with her softness. I also get personal about my own patterns, including a moment on a plane where I had to muster the courage to set a simple boundary with a stranger.Whether it's people pleasing, not trusting your body, being out of balance with your masculine or feminine energy, having a toxic relationship with emotions, or hiding behind the masks and roles you play, this episode is an invitation to see yourself and start doing the work.Key takeaways:The five patterns we all share (and how to spot them in yourself)Why asking for help is one of the hardest things for good hearted peopleHow cold immersion exposes your patterns and forces you to softenThe shift from "I am sad" to "I feel sadness" and why it changes everythingWhen you block your authentic self, you deprive the universe of its full expressionWe are ancient beings living in a modern world. Your patterns are not your destiny.

Your higher-self has the answers you're searching for, but you've got to create the space to actually listen.I break down what's blocking that connection, why stillness and intentionality are non-negotiable if you want to access your deepest knowing, and practical ways to quiet the noise so you can finally hear what you've been missing.Key takeaways:Why constant motion keeps you disconnected from your intuitionThe difference between your ego-mind and your higher-selfHow to create space for the guidance that's already thereSimple practices to tune into your inner wisdom dailyIf you've been searching everywhere for answers when they've been inside you all along, this episode will help you turn down the volume on everything else and finally listen.👉 Buy Cosmic Breadcrumbs now on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4r5r4h4👉 Join the FTO WhatsApp group chat: https://www.joshuadeanchurch.com/ftogroup
