Welcome to another powerful episode of The George Peterson Podcast!

Today, I’m joined by my dear friend and co-teacher Jo Amor—a psychologist, Vedic Meditation teacher, and VITA Certified Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach—for a rich conversation about healing the nervous system, reclaiming our breath, and softening into deeper self-trust.

In this episode, Jo and I dive into the vision behind our brand-new 12-Week Breathwork & Coaching Container—a transformative journey designed to help you build inner safety, release emotional residue from the body, and connect with your truth beneath all the noise.

We explore what it means to heal not by force, but by surrender. You’ll also hear about our upcoming Bali retreat, where we’ll gather in sacred space for Vedic Meditation, Rounding, Breathwork, and community healing. We talk about the magic of doing this work in-person, and why immersive experiences like these are catalysts for real, lasting transformation.

If you're ready to take your healing deeper, this episode is for you.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to align with the natural intelligence of your body, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with the most empowered version of yourself—through breath, presence, and community.

Welcome to another powerful episode of The George Peterson Podcast!
In this special episode, I’m excited to share a conversation I had recently as part of The Spiritual Book Club’s Life Changing Chat series with the amazing Jacinta.

This was an honest, eye-opening discussion on addiction, trauma, Breathwork, and healing—and one that I believe will resonate deeply with anyone on the path of personal growth.

We unpacked some of the big myths around addiction and why, in my experience, we often treat it backwards. It’s not about asking why the addiction?—but why the pain? Because behind every addictive pattern is an unmet emotion or wound we haven’t yet learned to sit with.

We explored:

• My personal journey through addiction recovery
• How addiction shows up beyond substances—think phones, social media, judgment
• The role of distraction in sabotaging our dreams
• Why Breathwork is such a powerful tool to move through emotional pain and trauma
• How regular meditation helps us stop bullshitting ourselves and make the growth zone our new comfort zone
• And why the best way to inspire others into this work is to embody it yourself

This conversation is a deep dive into emotional honesty, healing through discomfort, and how Breathwork and meditation can help us break free from the patterns that hold us back.

Welcome to another powerful episode of The George Peterson Podcast!
Today, I’m joined by my dear friend and co-teacher Jo Amor—a psychologist, Vedic Meditation teacher, and VITA Certified Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach—for a heartfelt conversation on what it truly means to love yourself.

In this episode, Jo and I explore the deeper dimensions of self-love—beyond the bubble baths and affirmations. We talk about what real self-love looks like in practice, how shadow work is a crucial part of the healing process, and why we must feel to heal. Through stories from our own lives and the tools we teach, we reflect on the inner work required to break through self-rejection and come home to authenticity.

We also unpack the emotional patterns that keep us stuck—like shame, scarcity, and suppression—and how real transformation comes when we’re willing to meet those parts of ourselves with compassion and curiosity.

Plus, we share a behind-the-scenes look at our upcoming retreats, where we combine the power of Vedic Meditation, Rounding, and Breathwork to help people dissolve stress, reconnect with their truth, and awaken deeper fulfillment.

This is a soul-nourishing episode about healing from the inside out, and how learning to love yourself fully can change every area of your life.

🎧 Tune in to join the conversation and discover how self-love, when grounded in practice and presence, becomes one of the most powerful medicines we have.
