Josh Trent: How to Overcome Any Addiction + Limiting Belief (The Way Forward Podcast)

What if everything you believe about money, love, worthiness, and safety was installed in you before you ever had a say in the matter?Josh Trent, host of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast and identity transformation architect, sits down with Alec Zeck for one of the most raw and real conversations he's ever had.Josh opens up about hitting rock bottom in 2014... $80,000 in debt, freshly fired, putting his mom in a mental home, and stuffing everything he owned into a duffel bag. That moment became the launchpad for over a decade of deep inner work.Josh also gets honest about his journey through pornography addiction, his experiences with plant medicine (including a brutal Ayahuasca ceremony where he screamed in a room full of strangers), and why he believes emotional epigenetics means we're not just healing for ourselves but for seven generations forward and back.This conversation covers what it actually looks like to dismantle an identity built on pain, why safety is a paradox, and how the bridge between knowing and doing is the real final frontier of human growth.In this episode, Josh Trent uncovers:(06:30) Breaking down the old identity: the tools and practices Josh used for transformation(19:02) Is plant medicine a necessity when it comes to transformation?(34:07) Getting to your root beliefs with the BTFA practice: a step-by-step breathwork walkthrough(58:45) Traditional talk therapy vs somatic approaches(01:11:23) Understanding addiction as disconnection and the trap of trading one addiction for another(01:27:05) Facing your biggest fear in real-time: how Alec nearly shut down his podcast(01:41:24) Emotional epigenetics and why we unconsciously pass patterns down through generations(01:53:58) The single most powerful practice: emotional inventoryJosh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% OffShop All ProductsBiohacking⁠❤️ WAVwatch - Now 15% off with JOSH100👉 Timeline Nutrition - Now 30% off with JOSHMANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code WELLNESSANDWISDOMPLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCESaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSHNeuronic - 20% off with code WISDOMNutrition + Gut HealthOrganifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCEPaleovalley - 15% off with the link onlyEQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSHKreatures of Habit - Save 20% with WISDOM20Little Saints | Non-Alcoholic, Plant-Based Cocktails - 20% off with JOSHSupplementsMANNA GOLD - $20 off with the code JOSHGOLDAdapt Naturals - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCEMitoZen - 10% off with the code WELLNESSFORCEActivation Products - 20% off with the code JOSH20BiOptimizers - 10% off with discount code JOSH10Fatty15 Essential Fatty Acids Supplement - Get 15% off with code JOSH15SleepBiOptimizers Sleep Breakthrough - 10% off with JOSH10Zyppah Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece - 20% off with the code JOSHMitoZen Super SandMan Ultra™ (Melatonin Liposomal)+ | 10% off with WELLNESSFORCELuminette Light Therapy Glasses - 15% off with JOSH15Cured Nutrition CBN Night Oil - 20% off with JOSHNatural EnergyMTE - Save 20% with JOSHTruKava - Save 20% with code JOSH20Drink Update - Save 25% with discount code JOSH25EONS Mushroom Coffee - 20% off with the discount code JOSH20EnergyBITS - 20% off with the code WELLNESSFORCEBUBS Naturals - Save 20% with JOSH20Mental Health + Stress ReleaseMendi.io - 20% off with the code JOSH20NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the discount code JOSH10CalmiGo - $30 off the device with discount code JOSH30QUALIA - 15% off with WELLNESSFORCEApothékary - 15% off on orders over $75 with JOSHTRENTMindfulness + MeditationBREATHE - 33% off with the code PODCAST33Neuvana - 15% off with the code WELLNESSFORCEEssential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code WELLNESSFORCEFour Visions - Save 15% with code JOSH15Lotuswei - 10% off with JOSH
