One of the teachings that has changed my life more than any other is the first hermetic principle, which states that the universe is mental. For me, I translate this into the notion that nothing in our lives is objective in nature & in actuality, everything is subjective based on the story/narrative we give it. As such, one could theorize that our fulfillment, joy & ultimate success in life can be characterized by what type of story teller we are & the degree to which the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves & life as a whole are empowering & uplifting, rather than disempowering & draining. Todays guest on the show is a returning guest, dear friend of mine & is someone who has assisted me in creating the most powerful & potent stories from which I can express myself through & share myself with the world as a result of & in this episode, we dive deep into what’s been transpiring in his life, the power of these stories & much, much more.

Over the past year or so, I have really begun to see the implications of what understanding astrology can do for one’s life as my girlfriend, Rachel, has been diving SUPER deep into it. To say that this last year has been extra psychedelic as a result of this, with no medicine necessary, would be a severe understatement. In todays episode, you will have the opportunity to hear Rachel & I dive into what got her into astrology, some of the wild synchronicities we have shared as a result of this ancient modality, her newest creation combining quantum healing with astrology & much, much more.

One of the biggest opportunities within the plant medicine space is the opportunity to reprogram our subconscious minds, however, like you’ve all heard me say before, the more we learn regarding techniques along the way that can assist in these medicines working more effectively & efficiently, the more success we will ultimately have within this realm. Today's guest on the show is a woman whom I have learned SO much from regarding the ability for us to reprogram our subconscious minds & when you hear her story, my hope is you get the same shivers of possibility & hope in your lives that I did when I experienced her modality firsthand. She has taught over 1000 people to access their subconscious mind through a combination of muscle testing, meridian therapy & tapping acupuncture points throughout her career & in today's episode, you will all have the opportunity to hear her story & open up this ability in your own lives by attending her weekly, completely free to join forgiveness ceremonies, along with her free 1-day training, which you can find more info on in the show notes for this episode.

When it comes to altered states, it is no mystery that many of us have access to these realms with no medicine necessary. Whether we’re born with this access or we develop it later in our lives, more & more of us are becoming aware of this notion within our lives & if you’re like me, this process can be super confusing as when we deal with qualitative aspects of life, such as the main topic of this weeks discussion, the Akashic Records, it can be hard to know for sure if we’re accessing the same state from person to person. This is why I am SO excited to share with each of you todays guest who is a woman that along with being an Akashic Record reader, yoga teacher, intuitive healer & more, is someone who has helped me dearly with my own health & well being through her work & has helped numerous individuals understand what states such as the Akashic Records are & how to access them.

For me, I found psychedelic medicines during a time in which I was moving through distortions within my experience of life, such as anxiety & depression. What I found in psychedelic medicines was hope where there was once none & while I will never say that these medicines are necessary for everyone, I will say that I, along with many individuals, such as today's guest, have been able to rediscover hope & allow that hope to help them build the lives they know they are capable of living. Today's guest on the show is a master NLP practitioner, where he first learned about the ability of the subconscious to be reprogrammed. He is a coach, who assists his clients in opening up to new possibilities within their lives, is a biohacker, where he helps others get back to their prime state of health & is the founder of the Rewired retreats, where he assists his clients in working with not only plant medicines but also NLP, coaching, biohacking & community to allow them to usher in their next level of evolution & in todays episode, we dive into his journey into psychedelic medicines, his journey of assisting his wife through complex PTSD & severe depression with the assistance of plant medicines, his tips on how to work with these medicines consciously for profound results & much, much more.

I imagine for anyone listening to this show right now, we can all agree that the world is going through some monumental shifts. Whether it be in healthcare, spirituality, finance, technology, or any other facet of life, it is clear that we are living during a period that can increase massive awareness in each of us. This being said, many are stuck in old programs of fear & are unknowingly buying into the belief that things are “worse than ever” when, in reality, as you will hear this week's guest & I speak about today, it’s not that things are worse than ever, it’s that we as a society are becoming more aware than we ever have in recent history. Today's guest is a returning guest & dear brother of mine who has been actively practicing medicine work & shamanistic practices for over 20 years in the jungles of Peru & is one of my all-time favorite human beings. Take a ride with us as we dive into the current state of the world & why we choose to believe that the future is extremely bright in all ways as I welcome my man Hamilton Souther back onto the show!

One of my favorite things about this show is that within the wide array of psychedelic experiences, there are SO many important topics I can discuss within the scope of how to truly allow these medicines to work more effectively & efficiently within our experience of life. Within that notion, no subject comes to mind quicker when I think about the foundational layer of what can allow these medicines to work in this way than the subject of health as a whole. Today's guest on the show is a returning guest, a psychedelic proponent & someone who has dedicated his life to helping people optimize their fitness, nutrition & overall health so that they can become the best versions of themselves. Within this episode, we begin with a debriefing of the Arkadia music festival we both went to out in Vegas before diving into many of our current health practices, how to avoid the challenge of swinging from polarity to polarity in life & much, much more.

One of the terms I love most when I think of living a Highly Optimized life is the notion of thriving. To me, thriving perfectly illustrates the idea of being at your best & simultaneously knowing it & embodying that state of being. This being said, it begs the question of why SO many of us only get glimpses of what thriving truly feels like in our lives, while others seem to be able to tap into this state much more frequently. Today's guest on the show is a returning guest & dear friend of mine who has made it her mission to guide others into their ultimate thriving state. From her Amazon best-selling book, “Finally Thriving”, to her newest creation, the “Finally Thriving” program, which you can join the waitlist for by diving into the show notes of this episode, it’s safe to say that for any of you tuning in who are looking to bring a deeper sense of thriving to your life, that this episode will open up many possibilities for you to chew on.

As many of you are well aware of in tuning into the show & seeing me online for some time now, I love absolutely nothing more than powerful & profound conversations. For me, conversing is an art form that, to be honest, I feel is lacking in the modern-day world. The ability to go deep into the notion that we will never “know” anything, yet still be curious & excited to explore the blank canvas we call life is something that I thrive on & today's episode is a perfect example of what can happen when we don’t focus on a plan, but rather, open ourselves up to the divine intelligence awaiting within us & have faith that what comes out will be perfectly unique. Today's guest on the show is a returning guest who is one of many of your favorites. He is the creator of “The Abundance Archetype”, which is a mastermind designed to decouple what we believe we know about abundance & allow us to tap into TRUE abundance, which, rather than being tied to one specific area of life, such as finance, is instead the source of abundance that comes from within & trickles out into the external world from that place of infinite abundance. In todays episode, which we did live from his EPIC new house, we dive into the topic of abundance, the mysteries of life & much, much more.

About Jason

Meet Jason, a Wall Street prodigy who, by his early 30s, fulfilled his dream of becoming a highly successful trader with a billion-dollar portfolio and a partnership with Paul Tudor Jones. Despite this, a critical moment at 26 prompted him to prioritize well-being over extreme wealth. Weighing 330 lbs, he transformed his lifestyle, walking away from financial success to align with his heart and soul's purpose. Jason's journey from consumption to sustainability, from achievement to contribution, reflects the transformative power of holistic well-being, emphasizing that true success encompasses more than financial gains.

Thoughts on Troy Casey Podcast with Chris and James

Welcome to the weMove Podcast. Last week we spoke with Jill Miller about the importance of creating a safe space for the body to release and let go of the tension it holds unnecessarily. 

This week we follow that up with Troy Casey aka @certifiedhealthnut who we ice bathed, and sat with in the glorious Californian sun to hear his route from hedonistic model to a being focussed on the true essence of being a healthy self, and that is to heal thy self. 

Troy is a CHEK practitioner, fitness and lifestyle coach who looks the result of the protocols and practices he teaches. 

Both Chris and I were unsure of what to expect when we turned up in Venice, based on his instagram account. Well looks can be deceiving and what followed was such a clear story of his progression from the party hard model to the conduit to support others on their journey to good health. 

We talk health and healing protocols, plant medicines from simple herbs to the powerful and sacred Ayahuasca and equally importantly the spaces that he and his network create for both men and women to feel safe to connect with their Yin and Yang sides and release the trauma that we carry unknowingly through our lives. Chris and I are big advocates for this type of work in a personal and safe group setting because from our personal experiences so much that happens to us is a result of learned behaviours, modelled to us as we grow up, which then become distorted to the point that we are held back by our own ideas of what we saw. 

If you do feel a yearning or a desire to find a group of likeminds then follow it. The positive change that comes from making those steps can seem daunting at first but they can set the tone from the day you decide onwards. Hugely worth it.
