What happens when the very tools meant to heal you—breathwork, yoga, mindfulness—become ways to silence your inner wisdom?

In this deeply vulnerable conversation, I sit down with Devin Scott, founder of Find Your Meaning, a body-based coach, who shares his recent experience of ignoring his body's signals in a relationship—and what he has learned about "healing" from that experience.

We recorded this episode in early December, just days after Devin went through a painful breakup. Instead of presenting a polished, "healed" version of himself, he brought his raw, real experience into our conversation—and what emerged is one of the most honest explorations of body wisdom, emotional intelligence, and the shadow side of "wellness" that I've ever had.

This conversation will shift how you think about healing, emotions, and what it means to truly listen to yourself.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Why traditional healing systems often feel hollow—and how they can reinforce perfectionism and conformity instead of true transformation
The difference between resourcing and dissociating—how Devin used "healthy" practices like breathwork and yoga to silence his body's wisdom instead of listening to it
Why emotions aren't problems to solve—they're messages, evolutionary tools, and pathways to deeper wisdom
How body wisdom gets overridden—the cultural scripts that teach us to distrust our intuition and seek external validation
The philosophy of Lila—an ancient Indian concept that reframes life as "cosmic play" rather than a linear path to fix yourself
Why you don't need to "win" at healing—and how the idea of becoming a "better version of yourself" can be self-punitive
When nervous system collapse is necessary—why sometimes you need to stop doing and just be with what is
The gaslighting embedded in systems—from workplaces to therapy, how we're taught that we are the problem, not the system

Key Themes:

This episode explores the paradox of using healing modalities to avoid feeling, the courage it takes to trust your body when logic demands otherwise, and the radical idea that suffering might not be something to transcend—but something to experience fully as part of being human.

Devin's honesty about his own recent heartbreak—and how he ignored his body's clear signals because he couldn't rationalize them—offers a powerful reminder that even those who teach this work are still learning it. We're all human. We all stumble. And vulnerability isn't weakness—it's where the real wisdom lives.
