This episode exposes just how baked-in and unconscious most of our money patterns are. Most people don’t even pause to wonder if there’s a different way—it’s just get paid, pay bills, cross your fingers, and sort of white-knuckle your way through the month.

The inspiration from this conversation is in the tiny acts of rebellion Heather and Sari describe—questioning if you really have to own the house, take on the debt, or let your money just trickle out in old, exhausting patterns. The real teaching here isn’t just about strategy (though, yes, there are strategies tucked in everywhere!), it’s about the willingness to question, to pause, to get uncomfortable, and to see money as this living, breathing energetic thing that wants to co-create with you rather than punish you or weigh you down. Curious yet? Take a listen!

Heather Russo grew up in a world where money controlled everything, what we could and couldn’t do, what we could and couldn’t have. The answer was always the same: “We don’t have money for that.”

Groceries showed up on our doorstep from kind strangers. Friends couldn’t stay the night because we couldn’t afford to feed one more mouth. I lived in the poorest part of a wealthy neighborhood, watching the stark contrast between “them” and “us.” And I made a decision.

I refused to accept that as my future.
At 18, I opened my first IRA, convinced I was on the right path to financial security. I followed every rule they told me...

And yet, I wasn’t building wealth. I was just surviving with more stability. Then, I watched my savings disappear overnight in a market crash. That’s when I realized:

THE SYSTEM ISN’T BROKEN. IT WAS BUILT THIS WAY ON PURPOSE.
The wealthy don’t play by the rules the middle class is taught. They don’t rely on a paycheck. They don’t trade time for money. They don’t sit on cash and hope the market will save them.

In today's dating......you’re supposed to go out, swipe for a partner, chase validation—because that’s the cultural script and it’s easier than sitting with your own hunger or loneliness? And yet, how many of us get stuck in that loop? We’re cycling through the same heartbreaks, the same bargains with ourselves, convinced pain is the price of finding connection—but is it?

This episode is a raw, punch-in-the-gut exploration of those jagged places where our deepest longing collides with years of programming, religious guilt, and, honestly, a shit-ton of confusion about what love and intimacy are really supposed to look like.

If you’ve ever been hammered by the ache of wanting someone to choose you—by the pain of feeling like wholeness is just one more failed relationship away—this conversation doesn’t offer you platitudes. It invites you to dig around in your own mess, to ask whether pain always has to be your teacher, or if maybe there’s another way, one that burns down the illusions we inherited.

You ever make a split-second decision that sits in your bones for years—something you’d swear nobody would ever understand if you actually told them? This is what happens when your whole life gets detonated on a random night in your 20s—with shame that stretches across years and the kind of public exposure that’d make most people disappear. DUI, porn, exile, the most humiliating “everyone knows” nightmare—all of it. None of this gets glossed over. Scott sits right on the curb of his own disaster, decides not to run, and lets surrender crack open a part of him that’s raw, painful, and—let’s be honest—way too familiar for anyone who’s ever felt like their worst moment wrote the rest of their story........

Hard For Life Podcast

is an executive men’s coach and space holder to some of the most potent men on the planet. His current clients have achieved incredible professional success and are now interested in finding success in ways that fulfill them spiritually, physically, in their relationships, as well as their finances.

He has been a decade-long tech entrepreneur, film director, photographer, YouTube star, and group facilitator for hundreds of men. Presently, he is the host of the Hard For Life Podcast where he interviews some of the most radical people on the planet. He also founded and runs Brothership, a men’s organization focused on ending the men’s isolation epidemic.

If you ask Thomas what he is most passionate about, it is helping men create authentic friendships, connecting to their emotions, and challenging the social conditioning most people received growing up.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Liz for a no-filter conversation about what it means to come home to yourself.

We talk about the ways we’ve molded ourselves to fit in—into jobs, body ideals, relationships—and how fucking exhausting it is to keep up with an identity that was never truly ours. Together, we unpack the shedding of those roles and reconnect with our playful, curious, real selves.

From closet meltdowns to choosing joy over pressure, this convo dives deep into the tender parts: the unraveling, the remembering, the softening. And how, sometimes, stepping into the unknown is the bravest thing we can do.

If you’re tired of holding it all together, trying to be who you should be—this one’s for you. Let’s walk into the storm, like the buffalo, and find our truth on the other side.

http://Neurochangesolutions.com
Joshua Whiteland is a retired United States Army Infantry leader with extensive experience in strategic and operational roles across multiple military platforms. His service includes full-spectrum warfighting operations in the War on Terrorism and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Throughout his military career, Joshua served as a leadership instructor at both the United States Non-Commissioned Officers Academy and the United States Military Academy, shaping the next generation of military leaders.
Joshua is highly decorated, earning numerous military awards, including leadership accolades, the Expert Infantryman’s Badge, the Combat Infantryman’s Badge, achievement medals, campaign medals, and commendation medals with valor. His dedication to excellence extends beyond the battlefield—he holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a Master’s in Business Administration.
A devoted student of Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work, Joshua has attended and volunteered at over 20 retreats and is a certified NeuroChange Solutions (NCS) Consultant. As the owner of InnerQuest Consulting LLC, he brings his expertise in transformation and leadership to individuals and organizations seeking growth and change. In his full-time role as the Manager of Veterans Initiatives at the Give to Give Foundation, Joshua is committed to serving the veteran community. He also teaches NCS in prisons through the foundation’s Prisons to Monasteries program, helping incarcerated individuals cultivate personal transformation.
Joshua resides just outside of Austin, Texas, with his wife, Amy. A proud father of three sons, he has overcome immense personal challenges, including severe complex PTSD, mental health struggles, alcoholism, and divorce.

In this episode: Joshua’s journey is just a reflection of that larger struggle a lot of us experience: performing rather than truly living and being authentic to ourselves. It's the whole deal of putting up this armor and not really addressing those underlying emotional issues because there’s this fear of being perceived as weak or inadequate. He talks about that feeling of being completely disconnected and how it drives actions and decisions.

And the military, while offering so much structure and value, became a backdrop to those personal battles of self-worth and identity, of looking for that next thing to fill the void, all while grappling with PTSD and the role of alcohol as a crutch. It's a life story that’s not just about one man's journey but a universal lesson in personal transformation and healing.

I think most people don't even comprehend the depths of what's possible with AI. It's like we're stuck in this traditional mindset of what business and productivity should look like, missing out on this mind-blowing tool that can radically amplify our lives.

When Edwin talks about custom GPTs, he's not just giving us tech jargon. He's unveiling a pathway to tap into this unprecedented intelligence that we can design to be as unique as our fingerprints. And that's the uncharted way here. It's not just about AI for efficiency or productivity. That's just scratching the surface. The real magic is in using AI to transform what we know about creativity, about self-discovery, about personal growth, and making every day more aligned with who we are at a deeper level.

And it really resonates with that idea of moving from scarcity to abundance. We're so conditioned to think in terms of limitations—what we can't do, what we don't have, how we're not enough. But this conversation, it flips the script. It invites us into this world where tools like AI can be a partner in our journey, not just to get things done, but to truly expand our being.

In this episode we dive deep into Jorge’s philosophy on avoiding ego-driven conversations and gossip, emphasizing intentional and mindful speech.

And let's be real—how many of us haven't felt the magnetic pull of superficial conversations or the need to fit in with the "right" crowd just to feel seen?

This episode is genuinely a call to all of us who’ve been burned by life's relentless pursuit of validation—who grapple with the pain of feeling overlooked. Jorge's "Shut the Fuck Up Method," born out of personal grief and an honest observation of human behavior, is a wake-up call wrapped in relatable, bite-sized chapters. It's about mastering the art of clean, conscious speech, re-evaluating the stories we tell ourselves, and realizing that external accolades won't patch up internal scars. Jorge and Sari remind us that embracing life’s rough edges, reframing perceptions, and being ever-present are what truly lead to fulfillment.This episode is genuinely a call to all of us who’ve been burned by life's relentless pursuit of validation—who grapple with the pain of feeling overlooked.
