In this episode, Justin explores the connection between physical pain, intuition, and emotional well-being. Opening with Albert Einstein's powerful quote, "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift," Justin dives into how our modern reliance on logic can sometimes overlook the body's deeper signals.Drawing from personal experience with a recent eye infection, Justin illustrates how physical discomfort may serve as more than just a symptom—it can be a reflection of emotional or mental strain. He references When the Body Says No by Dr. Gabor Maté, which examines the impact of stress on physical health, and Does Your Body Lie? by Luis Martins Simoes, which explores the body’s hidden messages. Justin also discusses Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life, a classic guide to understanding the mind-body connection.This episode encourages listeners (after checking with their doctor) to embrace intuition and consider the possibility that their bodies may be guiding them toward healing beyond the physical.

What is that pain telling you?Whether it's an ouchy muscle, a literal pain in the neck, frustration, or fear, there's often something that's causing us a bit dis-ease in our body when we stop to check-in. Often we view it as something to be overcome, fixed, or eliminated, but what if there's wisdom in this pain?In this episode, I talk with Dr. Aidan Kinsella about the interconnectedness of our physical and emotional challenges and the growth and self-empowerment that can come through understanding our discomforts. We see it's not just about alleviating pain; it's an invitation to harmonize with life's rhythm, embracing change as an ally, and discovering the balance between certainty and adaptability.Aidan is a Doctor of Chiropractic who has been practicing for 16 years. She founded the Verve Wellness Studio in 2008 in San Francisco. She practices a unique form of chiropractic called Network Spinal that uses gentle contacts along the spine to repattern the nervous system for a more efficient and energized expression of embodied authenticity. She works with clients at the intersection of nervous system health, embodiment, personal growth, and consciousness.I’ve been working with Aidan for the past 8 months and the shift in my body and life have been amazing. Make sure to listen to the full episode because at the end we're guided through a simple yet powerful Somatic Respiratory Integration (SRI) breathing exercise that will leave you feeling more calm and connected with what's happening in your body, enhancing sleep and overall well-being.To learn more about Dr. Aidan's practice or to book a free consultation visit VerveWellnessStudio.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vervewellnessstudio/Below are two links for anyone searching for a Network Spinal practitioner nearby:Send us a textOvercome the daily grind with transformative techniques from Justin's book, 'Engineered to Love.'

What's the real cost of disruption in tech and personal growth? Can we get the benefits we want without the rupture, disorder, and upheaval that disruption causes? Yes! When we add two very important ingredients. In this episode, I review the resulting disruptions we’ve seen from tech companies like Amazon in retail, Netflix in video rental, TV, & Movies, Uber with taxis, Airbnb with hotels, and Tesla with automotive, along with personal disruptions people attempt each day in the areas of Health & Fitness, Finances, Career, Relationships, and spiritual awakening.The results are often disruptive, but are they actually beneficial? Time and time again we see that the answer ends up being “No”, but it doesn’t have to be this way. What’s the answer?Intention and AttentionI explain more about this in the episode, so make sure you pay close attention so we can end the disruption caused by ignorance and laziness and enjoy the benefits and lives we desire.Send us a textOvercome the daily grind with transformative techniques from Justin's book, 'Engineered to Love.'
