In this honest and unfiltered conversation with Irene Lyon, we explore why so many trauma healing efforts are falling short, and why that isn’t entirely the fault of the individual. From the bastardization of nervous system language to how the obsession with "staying calm" often misses the point, we unpack the uncomfortable truths about what meaningful healing really involves. We dig into how functional freeze keeps you locked in patterns of managing symptoms rather than building true capacity, why early developmental trauma is the missing link most people overlook, and how the explosion of online nervous system content is creating more confusion than progress. Real nervous system work takes time, and the relationship between your physiology, psychology, and environment is far more complex than anything an Instagram post can capture. If you’re done with quick fixes and want to understand the deeper path to lasting change, this conversation goes where most don’t.

• The obsession with remaining calm oversimplifies the multifaceted nature of true healing.
• Functional freeze can trap individuals in symptom management rather than fostering genuine capacity.
• Early developmental trauma is frequently overlooked, yet it is crucial for comprehensive healing.
• The proliferation of online nervous system content can lead to confusion rather than clarity about healing practices.
• Effective nervous system work requires time and a nuanced understanding of physiology and psychology.

Prepare to have your understanding of human potential completely shattered. In this mind-bending episode, Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan reveals how children as young as 5 – and some even earlier than that – are learning to see perfectly while completely blindfolded: reading books, playing chess, solving Rubik's cubes, and even perceiving objects thousands of miles away through video calls. This isn't magic or trickery; it's a documented phenomenon that's quietly spreading across the world, with kids activating these abilities within minutes of their first training session. Dr. Edith argues we're witnessing the emergence of a new generation of children who are here to show us dormant abilities we all once possessed – abilities that challenge everything we think we know about consciousness, reality, and what it truly means to be human. With growing communities of families experiencing these "impossible" phenomena firsthand, the question isn't whether this is real, but whether you're ready to accept that we're on the cusp of a fundamental shift in human consciousness that will obsolete our current understanding of education, science, and the very nature of perception itself.

With plenty of good-natured shit-talking between friends, we cover everything from Mike's personal transformation through his health protocols to the ancient historical uses of urine across cultures, while weaving in thoughtful reflections on authenticity, following your inner calling, and the courage it takes to walk away from lucrative careers to pursue meaningful work.
