The Two Non Solutions Everyone Reaches For

Описание: Something can regulate you without training you. That one distinction explains why the things you keep reaching for - the scrolling, the substances, the search for relief - leave you right back where you started. This episode names the two dominant "non-solutions" and introduces the third path that actually builds capacity.

In this episode of The Connection Fix, Joey Klein breaks down:

The two default responses to emotional discomfort - screens and substances - and why both are "non-solutions"
The hidden cost of screen-based regulation: outsourcing your inner authority without realizing it
Why plant medicine and psychedelics can offer insight without integration - and why that distinction matters
The third path: state management through self - not as a vague concept, but as a trainable skill
The core methodology: emotion drives mind, mind fuels emotion, and together they inspire action
Joey's personal journey from deep disconnection to three-time world champion through internal training

This is episode 3 of The Connection Fix series. If you're just joining, start with episodes 1 and 2 for the full foundation.
