Matt reunites with longtime acquaintance Pete on The Body’s Compass to discuss what shaped Pete’s path from rehab, autoimmune issues, and frustration with “medical merry-go-round” answers into studying natural medicine, hypnotherapy, coaching, and building an eight-year entrepreneurial journey. Pete describes cycles of business success followed by isolation and stress, toxic mould illness that impaired him for over a year, and his father’s recent death, all reshaping how he views being a man and an entrepreneur. They explore common blocks like imposter syndrome, “invisible limits” (the flea-in-a-jar analogy), threat-based nervous system states, people-pleasing, and lack of agency, alongside family and societal conditioning. Physically, Pete highlights dysfunctional over-breathing, reduced vagal tone, and burnout/freeze patterns, using breath retraining plus nutrition, sleep, and exercise to restore capacity so clients can reconnect with values, envision goals, and build internal authority. Pete shares where to find him on Instagram and at newparadigminstitute.com.au.
