What if everything you believe about money, love, worthiness, and safety was installed in you before you ever had a say in the matter?

Josh Trent, host of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast and identity transformation architect, sits down with Alec Zeck for one of the most raw and real conversations he's ever had.

Josh opens up about hitting rock bottom in 2014... $80,000 in debt, freshly fired, putting his mom in a mental home, and stuffing everything he owned into a duffel bag. That moment became the launchpad for over a decade of deep inner work.

Josh also gets honest about his journey through pornography addiction, his experiences with plant medicine (including a brutal Ayahuasca ceremony where he screamed in a room full of strangers), and why he believes emotional epigenetics means we're not just healing for ourselves but for seven generations forward and back.

This conversation covers what it actually looks like to dismantle an identity built on pain, why safety is a paradox, and how the bridge between knowing and doing is the real final frontier of human growth.

(01:53:58) The single most powerful practice: emotional inventory
