    07/07/2026 | 1h 17 mins.
    Today's episode will change how you think about anxiety, fear, and the stories you've been telling yourself about who you are.Have you ever thought:
    Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?
    Why do certain memories still have power over me years later?
    Or maybe you've convinced yourself that this is just who you are.
    According to today's guest, that's not true.You can change your brain. You can change your emotional patterns. And you can become someone new without rejecting who you've been. Joining John today is Nick Ortner, New York Times bestselling author of The Tapping Solution and his new book, Rewired. For more than two decades, Nick has helped millions of people use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to overcome anxiety, release trauma, and create lasting change. In this episode, you'll learn:
    How tapping calms the nervous system and interrupts fear patterns
    Why painful memories continue to shape your behavior years later
    The science behind rewiring beliefs that keep you stuck
    How to overcome procrastination, self-doubt, and performance anxiety
    Why we spend more energy managing fear than pursuing possibility
    The surprising reason so many people no longer feel at home in their own lives
    What it means to develop self-trust and reclaim your emotional freedom
    Here's the powerful truth at the center of this conversation: You don't have to remain who you've always been.Your past may have shaped you. It does not have to define you. And once you understand how change actually happens, you can stop managing old wounds and start building the life you want.

    Three Conversations That Changed How I Think About Being Alive | John R. Miles EP 789

    03/07/2026 | 30 mins.
    What if flourishing isn't something you achieve someday—but something you practice in the life you're already living?In this episode, John R. Miles explores the first step toward becoming fully alive: presence. Drawing from three unforgettable conversations with Navy SEAL and Paralympian Dan Cnossen, entrepreneur Blake Mycoskie, and spiritual teacher Gabby Bernstein, he examines the questions that emerge when our old ways of living no longer work.If you've been waiting for life to settle down before you fully show up, chasing achievement in hopes that it will finally make you feel enough, or caring for everyone around you while losing touch with yourself, this episode offers a different path forward.In this conversation, you'll discover:
    Why the life you're waiting to begin may have already begun
    How to stop treating difficult seasons as interruptions instead of your actual training ground
    Why success and achievement can never answer the question, "Am I enough?"
    What it means to remain connected to yourself when the applause grows quiet
    How self-compassion becomes the foundation for lasting transformation
    The powerful question that can reveal whether you've become a safe place to come home to
    Why flourishing begins not in some future version of your life, but in this ordinary, imperfect moment
    At the heart of this episode are three questions worth carrying into your own life: What are you waiting to begin that has already begun? Who are you when there's nothing left to prove? Was I a safe place to come home to today?

    Because becoming fully alive isn't about finding another life. It's about inhabiting the one that's already here.

    How to Stay Always Connected to Spirit – Even When Life Feels Hard or Overwhelming | Suzanne Giesemann - EP 788

    02/07/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
    What if the guidance you’ve been searching for has been with you all along?

    In today’s episode, you’ll learn how to stay connected to something greater than yourself—even during grief, uncertainty, illness, or life's most overwhelming moments.

    If you've ever wondered whether you're truly alone, struggled to find peace in difficult seasons, or sensed that there is a deeper wisdom available to you, this conversation will give you practical tools to access it.

    John welcomes Suzanne Giesemann back to Passion Struck. A former Navy Commander and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff turned evidential medium and spiritual teacher, Suzanne shares insights from her new book, Always Connected, and explains why our connection to spirit is never lost—even when we forget it.

    In this conversation, you'll learn:The overlooked practice that helps create a deeper connection to intuition and spirit
    How to use Suzanne's three-minute "SIP of the Divine" method—even if meditation feels impossible
    How to distinguish genuine guidance from fear, doubt, and imagination
    Why adversity and physical challenges can become profound spiritual teachers
    What evidence-based mediumship reveals about grief, healing, and life beyond death
    Practical ways to navigate disappointment, self-worth struggles, and uncertainty with greater peace
    Suzanne brings together military discipline, spiritual insight, and a grounded approach to the unseen. Whether you're exploring these ideas for the first time or have been walking this path for years, this conversation is a reminder that connection is not something you create—it is something you remember

    .And perhaps the most important truth of all: even in your hardest moments, you are never alone.
