In this powerful conversation, Josh shares his journey from addiction to sobriety and the deep inner work that led him back to himself. We explore the role of breathwork in healing, the complexities and contradictions within spiritual communities, and the unique challenges men face in healing spaces. Together, we unpack how dysfunctional family dynamics shape identity, relationships, and personal growth, and how victimhood, accountability, and presence collide in a chaotic world. This episode reveals the non-linear nature of healing — and how our family systems often mirror the larger dysfunctions of society.

Josh and Brittney also dive into the roles people unconsciously adopt within toxic family systems, the ways society scapegoats and avoids uncomfortable truths, and the importance of recognizing power imbalances in relationships. We discuss how trauma lives in the body, why anger is often a misunderstood but necessary catalyst for change, and why trusting your lived experience is essential when navigating toxic relationships. This conversation holds space for the grief that comes with breaking generational patterns — and the courage it takes to choose yourself anyway.
