Every single one of us carries a story of suffering, trauma, and hardship. But while our experiences differ, the source of our suffering is often the mental narrative we hold onto. The good news is, you aren't just the receiver of this story—you are the writer.

In this podcast, Todd Perelmuter shares how to loosen the grip on past pain, quiet an overactive mind through present-moment awareness, and consciously rewrite your mental story to find lasting peace, stillness, and healing.

Chapters:
0:00 - The stories of suffering we tell ourselves
1:44 - The universal source of human pain
2:50 - Becoming the writer, not the victim

Why do some days leave us exhausted before we’ve done anything? Why do certain people fill us up, while others leave us feeling empty?

Our energy isn’t only about sleep, food or coffee. It goes wherever our attention goes. Every time we relive an argument, worry about the future or keep giving to people who only take, we drain ourselves. When we stay present and love what we’re doing, even a three-hour line at the DMV, we have boundless energy.

In this episode of Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter, I share how to protect your energy from people who drain you, how to deal with energy vampires without getting pulled down, and how to restore and create more energy from within.

Why does a good life so often fail to make us happy? And why can’t we think our way out of a heavy feeling?

The quality of our life isn’t decided by our circumstances. It’s decided by how we feel, and by what we do with those feelings. When we compare, ruminate or run from pain with a drink, a snack or a scroll, the feeling only gets stronger.

In this episode of Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter, I share the one skill no one teaches us: how to get out of our head and meet difficult emotions like anxiety, grief and stress with calm and curiosity. It’s so simple we miss it, and it’s the foundation of lasting happiness.
