Your body is not your own.

It’s hijacked.

Every time you scroll the news, read a headline, watch another clip – it spikes your nervous system.

Not by accident. On purpose.

Fear sells. Rage converts. Shame keeps you compliant.

The media doesn’t care about truth.

It cares about activation – getting you angry, afraid or defensive enough to click, share, scream.

In this episode, I sit down with Joe Martino from Collective Evolution to dissect the psychological warfare waged on your nervous system by modern media – and how embodiment makes you immune.

We go deep on outrage addiction, nervous system dysregulation and how political division is fueled not by truth – but by unresolved trauma and a total disconnect from the body.

If you want to think for yourself, feel for yourself and take your nervous system back from the parasite that feeds on your reactivity…

This episode is your first shot fired.

In This Episode with Joe Martino, You’ll Discover:

• The micro-trauma buried in every headline – and how to stop letting it own you
• Why watching the news is worse for your nervous system than three espressos and a breakup text
• How shame, fear and outrage are manufactured – and who profits when you bite the bait
• The invisible addiction: why you need bad news to feel alive (and how to break the cycle)
• The real reason you hate the other political side (spoiler: it’s not ideology)
• How to tell if your reaction is reality… or programming

How far are you willing to go to meet yourself?

Not the filtered, smiling, Insta-version of you.

Not the you that does gratitude journaling or goes to yoga retreats to feel “grounded.”

I’m talking about the raw, unedited YOU.

The kind you keep hidden.

This week, I bring on Severin Geser, a man who guides people into total darkness — no light, no screens, no escape — for days on end.

It’s called a “dark retreat,” but make no mistake:

This isn’t a vacation.

You’ll be face-to-face with your mind, your fears, every hidden thought you’ve buried in distractions.

The dark retreat takes away all your comforts, all your exits.

No one’s there to coddle you.

You’ll eat, sleep, and exist in pitch-black silence until it’s just you and the stuff you’ve been running from your whole life.

Ready to unplug from reality and confront the beast in the mirror?

Then listen to this podcast now 🎙️

In This Episode with Severin Geser, You’ll Discover:

• Why hiding from yourself is easy — until you’re locked in a pitch-black room (discover what happens when there’s no light, no noise, and no escape from what’s inside)
• “You are the substance” — Severin’s take on why a dark retreat is deeper than any drug (no psychedelics, no guide… just you, and a silence that forces you to confront yourself)
• The unexpected reason darkness feels like coming home (this primal experience connects you with something you didn’t even know you’d forgotten)
• Why emotional baggage doesn’t disappear… it waits (Severin shares why unresolved feelings rise up in the dark—and how facing them changes you)
• What’s scarier than complete darkness? (Severin warns of the biggest challenge of all: being with yourself with nowhere to hide.)
• A radical reset for your nervous system (learn why the dark retreat is like pushing the ‘off’ button on your system to find real, raw clarity)
• Can you really lose your mind in total isolation? (Severin gives a chilling answer — and why, for some, that’s the point)
• Why Severin doesn’t care if you “enjoy” the dark retreat (this isn’t about comfort — it’s about reality, and facing yourself fully)

For years, I’ve told people that I HATE social media.

Really.

I’ve literally avoided it for years.

No Facebook, Instagram or TikTok.

No Twitter.

No Snapchat.

But a few months ago, after a conversation with a friend, I decided to give it another shot.

My friend wouldn’t shut up about these things called “reels”.

He said it might be a good way to get the word out about Rageheart.

So I decided to give it a try…

…and it turns out, I’m actually having a blast with it.

The reason I tell this story is because I met today’s guest on Instagram.

She found a reel I’d made on how “get healed quick” is a scam.

She liked it.

She commented.

That led to a DM conversation…

…and then today’s podcast.

So it turns out, Instagram is NOT the toxic waste of time that I thought it was.

You can actually meet some pretty cool people on there.

With that in mind…

Enjoy!

In This Episode with Mishell Latour, You’ll Discover:

• How you can have it all and STILL be unhappy and unfulfilled (and how Mishell’s journey to fulfilment meant cutting off her parents, ending her marriage and tearing her old life apart)
• How “get healed quick” is the self-help industry’s equivalent of “get rich quick” (if it sounds too good to be true…)
• Why you need to stop using techniques like EFT to avoid your emotions (as one of my teachers said recently, true regulation needs no techniques)
• How Mishell stopped intellectualizing her trauma and started actually feeling it (staying in your head is a surprisingly common mistake)
• The missing key on the path to your freedom (hint: it’s not in your head)
• How to actually ENJOY and DELIGHT in your feelings and thoughts (yes, even the pain, shame and blame)
