The language we use and the way we breathe have a tremendous impact on our mental health.

Mark England is a TEDx speaker and co-founder of Enlifted, and he's spent 19 years studying how words and breath create the story we live inside.

His definition of mindset stopped me cold: it's the story you tell yourself. That story is made of words. It's made of breath. You can't work on one without the other.

Mark walks me through the four categories of conflict language most people speak without realizing it: soft talk, negations, projections, and dramatics. He explains why "I guess I need to be more consistent" produces a completely different life than "I can be more consistent this week".

There's a story about a woman, a father who left, and how one word flipped her entire self-image. That moment alone is worth the listen.

[42:33] Why writing scary stories down and adding breath in there unlocks a breakthrough
[59:26] Breath is the point of everything Mark teaches, not just language
[1:10:21] How swapping "us" for "himself" broke the spell of the victim mentality
[1:25:57] The four pillars of conflict language that keep people stuck
[1:48:04] The Donner Party proves we've watered down our most powerful words
[1:58:46] Regenerative coaching means never having all the right answers

There are a lot of misconceptions about electroculture and our connection with the divine. Chris Winters can tell you the truth about all of them.

Electroculture has become a buzzword on Instagram, but almost everything circulating about it misses the actual mechanism. The people teaching it have never grown a paying crop with it, but Chris Winters has, for over a decade, on a working organic vegetable farm in Tennessee.

Chris is the founder of The Fertile Current and a medical qigong doctor who spent his first years farming fighting nature, using blood meal, bone meal, and every conventional organic input, until a crisis of conscience forced him to rebuild his soil fertility from scratch with rock minerals, biochar, and antenna systems that collect atmospheric charge.

What he found broke the story that most organic farmers accept as fact. Bigger yields. Longer harvest windows. Pest pressure dropping by 85%. His farm is now fully transitioning to research mode because the production side has started to feel almost too easy.

We also get into radionics, weather modification, why Japanese beetles use their wings as an inner ear, and why he thinks the real fertility crisis is a power supply problem, in the soil and in us.

You'll Learn:

[0:00] Introduction
[9:24] Your energetic connection to heaven and earth, and what fourth phase water reveals about Hadza hydration
[31:31] How Chris's Nashville and Jamaica upbringing shaped his faith, and the beach hostage ordeal that followed
[1:02:06] USDA organic labels don't matter, and the mistake of farming built on blood sacrifice
[1:23:57] What electroculture actually is, and why the Instagram version gets it wrong
[1:46:50] Cutting off the Strait of Hormuz symbolically means cutting off divine intelligence
[2:03:45] How the antenna systems collect cations 15 feet up to power soil fertility
[2:39:37] Why Japanese beetles vanish from low-voltage fields, and how bugs only attack already-weakened plants
[3:05:14] How radionic field broadcasters power weather modification and Chris's training as a blind dowser
[3:26:14] Medical Qigong, and why Chris pivoted his farm from vegetables to research

If your child is not listening to you, they’re sending you an important message that you keep ignoring.

Dr. Tom Cowan, alternative medicine doctor and author of Common Sense Child Rearing, joins me to unpack what he learned from decades in family medicine, raising his own children, and years of watching families up close.

Food fights aren't about food. Defiance isn't a phase. Childhood illness sometimes says more about the parents than the child. We talk about the exact cases that changed his thinking, including one autistic boy who stopped tearing the office apart the moment Dr. Cowan named what was really going on in the family.

We also get into the trap of "gentle parenting", the MAHA movement's role in keeping people dependent on authority, and why the health freedom crowd keeps recreating the same top-down dynamic at the dinner table.

If your kids have started mirroring things back to you that feel uncomfortably accurate, this one will land.

You'll Learn:

[0:00] Introduction
[7:20] Modern parenting has become government at home
[8:51] Food fights are never about food, and how coercion backfires
[15:38] How to set boundaries around screens and sugar without becoming authoritarian
[29:44] Explaining “the why” beats saying no “because I said so”
[37:57] Is childhood defiance natural, or a symptom of authoritarian parenting?
[46:33] Reprimanding kids often reflects on us, not what they did
[57:02] The health freedom movement's integrity problem, and how MAHA keeps you in the system
[1:03:50] Steph Curry would never have discipline problems teaching kids basketball
[1:14:25] Real education happens once you stop feeling guilty about school

You need to let God purify you, and you’re about to find why.

Garrain is one of America's top 25 personal development coaches, a bestselling author, and a speaker who has reached over 4.7 million people across 100 countries.

When I invited him to Confluence, everything in his life was being stripped away. His business and investments were cut in half, and his identity was dissolving right along with them. In retrospect, he realized that's what it looks like when God purifies every part of your life that's out of alignment. He said yes anyway, and that trust became the thread of our entire conversation.

We got into the reason he changed his last name from Jones, what really happened at a Los Angeles club with Britney Spears at the height of her career, and why he spent years avoiding the music he was born to create. He sang a song in this room; it shifted something in me I didn't know needed to move.

If you're in the middle of a personal storm right now, this conversation is for you.

You'll Learn:

[0:00] Introduction
[6:42] Why Garrain trusts the unspeakable world more than the human mind
[14:59] How a lack of trust is really a mismanagement of energy
[21:41] The Britney Spears story Garrain has never shared on a podcast before
[28:55] The kind of trust it takes to know you are the eclipse
[40:35] Michael Jackson as the prophet frequency and why he's back now
[55:07] Why Garrain changed his last name from Jones to Asé
[1:25:28] The Negro Slave Bible and the split of Christianity most people don't know
[1:34:46] A trans woman on the train, the Charlie Kirk shooting, and the labels that keep us divided
[1:46:27] Denied expression mutilates into sex, drugs, porn, and killing
[1:58:19] The album Garrain calls the most impactful of all time
[2:20:16] Big dreams require big excavation, and resistance comes with the ecosystem

There's a version of health optimization that's making people more anxious, more neurotic, and less resilient, and almost no one in the space is willing to call it out.

The holistic health space has a problem, and Ste Lane is one of the few people naming it. He's a coach, homesteader, and host of Radical Health Radio. His lens on ancestral health, masculinity, and human vitality is shaped by everything from cage fighting in England to raising kids on the land in Tennessee.

Ste and I have been orbiting each other's worlds for years, and this conversation is the first time we’ve been able to sit down and dig in.

A lot gets covered, but the real thread underneath is this: most people are outsourcing their health to protocols, supplements, peptides, and fear-based content, and it's making them weaker, not stronger. Ste has strong things to say about why the vaccine was never actually forced, why orthorexia is subtly wrecking people, and what the wellness industry keeps getting wrong about resilience.

We also get into his four-truths framework, what real success looks like, and why the emotional and spiritual side of health matters more than the biohacks.

You'll Learn:

[0:00] Introduction
[7:07] Mark Sisson's podcast and the virtue of restraint
[24:47] Falling for Nicole and an Indonesian village that broke his brain about success
[43:26] Success is getting what you want, and how Ste defines it now
[1:01:38] The wellness space has become a mess of overwhelm and fad chasing
[1:20:14] Blaming outside forces for sickness is weakness, plus the peptide and vaccine hypocrisy
[1:32:03] BPC-157 healed his meniscus tear, and how health comes down to four simple truths
[1:56:30] Working in versus working out, and why mobility is real estate you already own
[2:25:22] Heart and Soil's origin story, and a Bulgarian textbook smuggled out for cigarettes
[2:42:59] A Parkinson's neighbor whose tremors calmed within days of eating brain tissue
