Its Therapeutic explores health through the lens of power. True power requires vitality, resilience, and enthusiasm—not just physical health. We go beyond the standard Western model to examine mental, emotional, financial, social, and moral health. In a safe, candid space, we tackle the taboo—from sex, drugs, and rock and roll to the intersection of science, success, and spirituality.

It’s Therapeutic is a bold podcast about health, power, and what we’re usually not allowed to talk about.
True power requires more than physical health—it demands vitality, resilience, enthusiasm, and integrity across every dimension of life. While the Western medical model often stops at the body, one of its most rigorous disciplines—transplant medicine—quietly acknowledges the truth: physical, mental, emotional, financial, social, and moral health are inseparable.
From that extreme edge of Western medicine, It’s Therapeutic opens a doorway into the next frontier of holistic health.
This podcast creates a safe, intelligent, and unapologetically honest space to explore the most stigmatized aspects of wellbeing—from sex, drugs, and rock and roll to a newer, equally taboo triad: science, success, and spirituality.
If health is power, It’s Therapeutic is where we learn how to reclaim both.

Difference between a bad person & a badass? Bad person? Out of control! Badass? Fully in control!
Bad people are slaves to insecurity: anger, fear, & sadness.
A badass feels all of that… & still chooses discipline, clarity, & action.
So the real question isn’t: Are you good or bad?, but Are you in control or are your emotions running the show?
Today, we break down how to move from ASS: angry, sad, scared
… to strength, sanity, & self-mastery.
Timeline
1: The Hook
- Bad person vs badass distinction
- Reframe: same raw material, different execution
- Emotional control = defining difference
2: Redefining “Bad”
- Bad = loss of control
- Badass = power with restraint
- Introduce honor, dignity, grace as hallmarks
3: No Free Passes
- Pushback: depression/anxiety aren’t neutral, but have internal & external consequences
- indulgence ≠ compassion
4: The “Temper Tantrum” Frame
- Anger = obvious tantrum
- Anxiety = internalized tantrum
- Depression = collapsed tantrum
- Common thread: loss of emotional regulation
5: The State Hierarchy
- Below baseline: angry, sad, scared
- Baseline: peace, stoicism, equanimity
- Above baseline: joy, love, enthusiasm
- Key insight: stoicism is the gateway, not the finish line
6: Introducing “ASS”
- Angry
- Sad
- Scared
- Memorable, blunt, sticky
- This is a diagnosis, not identity
7: GO FOR IT
- Acronym: Get Over Fear Of Rejection In Time
- Transition from passive suffering → active engagement
8: 3D Approach to Fear
- Get over → overcome
- Get under → understand
- Get ahead → anticipate
- Get behind → support
- Key idea: don’t fight fear: outflank it
9: Reframing Fear
- Insecurity = not just fear → anger + sadness + fear
- Introduce: Rejection Insecurity Pathology (RIP) → it stinks when we RIP ASS
10: The Vitality Dial
- Life ≠ binary (on/off)
- It’s a dimmer switch
- Turned on = engaged, energized
- Turned off = contracted, avoidant
- Spiritual goal = increasing “energy” even under stress
11: Adversity Reframe
From Post-traumatic stress → “weaker,” to post-traumatic growth → “stronger”
4 quotes
- What doesn’t kill me-
- When the student is ready-
- My enemy is my greatest-
- I am my own worst-
12: Closing the Loop
- Return to opening question
- Bad person = dysregulated, reactive
- Badass = regulated, responsive, disciplined
- Sanity restoration = the real upgrade
- Call to action:
- Move from ASS → awareness → action
- Invite to program/community
Closing
You don’t become a badass by avoiding struggle, but by mastering it.
Next time you get a curveball, ask:
Am I merely reflecting my conditions, or am I expanding beyond reactive triggers & emotional flood, into the creative realm of productive, resourceful flow?
Am I a slave to conditions & to my self and to my life, or am I the master & steward of these elements?
The self/ego/manifest reality is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.
Our rightful place in our own lives and in the world, is one of mastery, expertise, familiarity and domination.
