Ep #188: Addicted to Healing with Byron and Michael

What if chasing “one more healing” is the very thing keeping you from feeling whole??

In this episode, Byron and Michael look at the fine line between helpful practice and healing addiction. They name the hidden driver—pain and disconnection—and how it can turn breathwork, plant medicine, and nonstop workshops into a spin cycle that never truly lands.

Byron questions the inner program of “I am broken,” and offers a reframe: protect your energy with gentleness, boundaries, and integration—letting insights settle before reaching for the next fix.

They contrast feminine healing (feeling, processing) with masculine commitment (clear intentions, follow-through), reminding us both are needed. Instead of digging forever, he suggests real-time healing: slow enough to notice what’s alive now, journal it, meet responsibilities, and return to it with honesty.

The heart of his message: stop outsourcing your power to healers or methods; claim your own change. If you’ve ever felt stuck in “just one more ceremony/class/session,” this conversation gently opens the door out.
