A new era begins 🤍

Exactly three years ago, I pressed publish on the very first episode of this podcast — with no idea where this path would take me.

What began as an outlet for self-expression has grown into something far greater: a bridge to a global community of hearts and minds who are all seeking, questioning, and remembering.

This has been more than a podcast — it’s been my greatest teacher, mirror, and medicine. I’m deeply honored that it’s reached and supported others on their own path of navigating what it means to be human. And yet… it feels like we’re only just getting started.

Over the past six months, we’ve been quietly reimagining what this next chapter could look like. We’ve expanded the team, refreshed the brand, and realigned with the core essence of what this platform is here to do.

Lots more to share soon — but for now, thank you. For listening. For evolving with me. For being part of this unfolding.

Last week on 5/5 I hosted a live @knowthyself podcast & community gathering with @drjoedispenza

It was so inspiring to see the amount of presence & honest inquiry that the whole audience of 250 people brought into the room - the energy was palpable.

I am so inspired to see and meet all of you that are on your own paths to awakening. It gives me such a strong knowing that we as humanity are going to be alright… contrary to the doom and gloom narrative. So grateful for you all.

Thank you to @drjoedispenza for the level of devotion you have to your work. So many are healed because of it.

Less than 1 year ago I was laying on my couch and came up with this idea to start this podcast “Know Thyself” - to see where it has grown to brings me so much joy.

I really feel that if you find true alignment with your dharma in life, the universe will conspire to amplify you & your gifts.

🙇🏽‍♂️ The more I’m exposed to different traditions, thought lineages, and fields of inquiry, the more I’m reminded that there isn’t just one way up the proverbial mountain.

There is no single “perfect” path.

Find what genuinely resonates with you.. and go deep.

At the source of many paths, you begin to encounter similar truths. Because truth doesn’t discriminate. Whether you explore psychology, poetry, the body, consciousness, music, or mysticism, sincere inquiry has a way of leading us toward the same deeper currents. Different paths, same mystery.

Can music express emotion so clearly… that you can feel it without a single word?

Frustration.
Anger.
Nostalgia.

One piano. Different emotional worlds.

Which one did you feel the most? 🎹

If you’ve ever wondered why certain songs can change your state in seconds, this episode may completely change how you think about music 🎼

Dr. Mei Rui is a concert pianist and clinical researcher studying how music affects the brain, nervous system, stress, healing, and cognitive health.

Comment “music” and we’ll DM you a link to the full episode.

In one clinical trial involving 132 neurosurgical cancer patients, music produced a 32% reduction in cortisol.

But the conversation went far beyond stress.

Even under general anesthesia, the body is still listening.

On this episode of Know Thyself, we explore why music affects us so deeply, how playlists shape physiology, and how intentional listening may support healing and recovery.

💬 What song do you put on when you need to come back to yourself?

Girly. Gay. Sensitive. Weak.

That list didn’t just police how you acted.
It taught many men to disconnect from entire parts of themselves.

The receptive part.
The emotional part.
The intuitive part.

And when those parts get rejected internally, relationships often become the place we unconsciously search for them outside ourselves.

“Relationships transform when they’re not done from a place of secret dependency on the part of myself that I’ve rejected.”

💬 What part of yourself were you taught to disconnect from?

They say, grief is the process we pay for love.

But grief shows up for the things we never loved too.
The parent who hurt us. The version of ourselves we had to bury to survive.

Sometimes grief isn’t tender. It’s anger.
It’s “you did this to me.” It’s trauma.

And grief cracks us open.

It’s one of the few times in life we get to say: not that anymore. This today.

“I would love it if we would think of grief more expansively.”

💬 What grief have you been carrying that doesn’t fit the script?

Most of us never actually pause long enough to watch a desire pass through us.

We immediately react.
Check the phone.
Say the thing.
Eat the thing.
Escape the discomfort.

But one of the most powerful things @danharris points to here is that the urge itself is temporary.

“If you just sit with it… it will subside.”

And in that small space between impulse and action, something changes. You realize you don’t have to be completely owned by every thought, craving, or emotion that appears.

💬 What’s one impulse or habit you’ve been automatically reacting to lately?

“Our society treats romantic relationships as the surrogate replacement for God...”

A difficult thought.
But maybe an important one.

We ask romantic love to give us:
meaning,
identity,
belonging,
purpose,
healing,
certainty,
home.

And wonder why relationships collapse under the weight of it.

“Romantic relationships can’t bear that burden.”

💬 What happens when we ask one person to carry the weight of our entire meaning?

“Right now, right here, is the only time we can love.”

Not later.
Not when we become a better version of ourselves.
Now.

And that’s a question we can ask:
Who does our practice ultimately serve?

Curious what this brought up for you. 🤍

"You're not weak. You're living the same way as everybody else."

In a world of constant scrolling, striving, distraction, and stimulation, most of us are quietly feeling the same thing:

Life feels disconnected from the real thing.

What moved me most in this conversation is how Arthur bridges the ancient and the scientific without losing either.

We talk about calling, love, suffering, beauty, service, and the deeper questions that bring us back to ourselves:
Why do things happen the way they do?
Why am I doing what I'm doing every day?
Why does my life matter?

This episode is for anyone who has been doing everything "right," but still feels like something deeper is missing.

New episode with @arthurcbrooks is out now.
