As children, and as humans, all we ever want is love. However, as we go through life - we experience hurt, pain, rejection, and other trauma wounds that slowly lead us to believe that we are either unworthy of love or that our love is conditional on how we act or be in this world. We teach ourselves that in order to be lovable we need to have the great job, 6 pack abs, incredible lifestyle. We forget the truth that we are already worthy of all the love in the universe just as we are. We forget that the only source of true love and fulfillment exists deeply within us, and that no external accomplishment can give us this feeling that we seek. The only way to heal these wounds, to remember and return to the state of eternal love that exists within us - and to give that love to others around us is to heal the parts of us that don't believe we are worthy of unconditional love. Thank you for joining me on this healing journey. I want to acknowledge and celebrate you for doing the work. It is not easy, but it is some of the most important work we can ever do on this planet.

Hoooolyyy Shit. This is a special one. This episode was recorded on a 10 hour roadtrip with the incredible Jonathan Mayoza following a 4 Day retreat in Utah hosted by the powerhouse duo of Tommy Snider, CEO of Master Metabolic and Adrian Ellison - founder of the self healing & retreats organization the Alpas Project. With their leadership, 17 powerful men and women came together to explore and cultivate what it means to embody Masculinity and Femininity in their full expression. From swimming in waterfalls, to sexually charged serenades, from crying to laughter, to growth and vulnerability this weekend was the epitome of finding the edge of comfort and experiencing major breakthroughs in self expression.

"Fearvana inspires us to look beyond our agonizing experiences and find the positive side of our lives" - the Dalai Lama. Akshay is no joke. Life circumstances brought Akshay to the brink of suicide amongst a deep depression, leading him to seek answers by spending the ensuing 10 years studying the mind and our relationship to fear. This culminates with his book Fearvana, which hit #1 in Neuroscience Books on Amazon. I was so excited for this interview because this has been one of the most impactful books I've ever read in my life ( which helped me get out of a dark place of chronic drinking ). In this episode we break down many of the key elements of Fearvana, including why it is that in an era when life has never had less physical suffering that mental disorder is also at an all time high. He breaks down why we either choose our own suffering (through a greater purpose) or life gives us suffering in many forms, the importance of progress over perfection and how to identify healthy vs toxic achievement. His book is seriously transformational. Head to fearvana.com to grab a copy, and follow Akshay on Instagram @fearvana --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/forge-your-path/message
