    ep 52: when healing becomes the new addiction
    Nov 5 2026
    📺watch and subscribe on youtubethere’s a feeling you get after a good session. you’ve cried, you’ve shaken and something moved. you leave lighter and more spacious than you’ve felt in months and you think, that was it, that was the shift. and then 2 weeks later you catch yourself doing the exact same thing you’ve always done. Pat Chirico knows that cycle from both sides of the table. he’s a meditation teacher, breathwork practitioner and Spinal Energetics practitioner, founder of Insight Breathwork and the man behind Barely Regulated, one of the funniest meme pages in this space. he also spent 4 and a half years as a corporate accountant having panic attacks before work, and he didn’t leave, he got fired. his whole position cuts against how most of us treat this work: the modality isn’t where the change happens. what you do in the days between sessions is. in this conversation we get into the dark side of healing, why an emotional release is not transformation, how intensity has to be earned and the embarrassingly small step that finally moved the needle for him. enjoy 💙~Pat Chirico is a Melbourne-based somatic practitioner, breathwork facilitator and educator who believes healing is simpler than the wellness industry makes it.A former corporate accountant, Pat left finance in 2014 and built a career spanning personal training, meditation teaching, breathwork and Spinal Energetics. His teaching centres on the breath as a real-time signal of the nervous system, and on discernment as the quality that separates good facilitators from great ones. That work has taken him to lead group sessions around the world and he continues to offer sessions one to one today.Pat is also the creator of Barely Regulated, a brand that blends humour with nervous system education for people who'd rather laugh than be lectured about their stress response. His aim is to help people understand their own bodies and stop chasing healing at the expense of joy.connect with PatInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/patchirico/ Barely Regulated: https://www.instagram.com/barely.regulated/ Insight Breathwork: https://www.instagram.com/insightbreathwork/ what we explored this episode00:00 meet Pat!01:45 healing and humour are not separate05:02 i didn't leave, i got fired07:22 how he overrode his body for 4 years08:16 a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven10:33 the shame of looking like you went backwards11:28 the lie he told people for years14:08 the root cause of the panic attacks15:29 the mask is what burns you out, not the workload22:30 what leadership surfaced that corporate never did24:11 wherever you go, there you are26:27 coping versus healing27:51 the day he told his wife he was just sad32:54 ice cream, doom scrolling and the permission to suppress36:08 awareness can trick you into thinking you're progressing40:45 from a nervous system to a chill system42:08 what spinal energetics actually is45:02 why it looks like a scene from the exorcist46:22 the field, the biofield and the aura47:49 what animals and 3-year-olds know53:49 your child will trigger every unhealed wound55:12 10 years of hip pain and what it was holding59:21 putting down weight that was never yours1:04:20 the dark side of healing and chasing the high1:06:06 the hamster wheel of more intensity1:09:16 an emotional release is not transformation1:13:43 the grief nobody warns you about1:16:02 what liberation means to Patconnect with me👉watch the root cause training free, 33 minutes. for anyone who understands their own pattern completely and is still run by it. a third of it is a practice, not a talk. watch it whenever.👉need more support?if you’re interested in coaching programs and more support.👉linkedin👉facebook👉instagram👉tiktok👉youtube👉websitelots of love,david 💙

  • ep 51: do you even want to be healed?

    ep 51: do you even want to be healed?
    Oct 29 2026

    📺watch and subscribe on youtube

    for three years i watched people online talk about healing and nervous system regulation and shadow work, and i thought they were full of sh*t. weird. unhinged. a bit woo. performing for attention.

    and the whole time i was doing that, i was drinking too much, on my phone 9 hours a day, taking substances and curating a version of myself in every single room so that nobody would look too closely.

    this is a short one. 10 minutes. one question.

    do you even want to be healed?

    enjoy 💙


    what we explored this episode

    00:00 three years of thinking they were full of sh*t

    01:23 the question almost nobody asks out loud

    02:19 why insight never changed the pattern

    03:18 what the drinking, the phone and the jokes were doing

    04:14 you are not failing to change (you are being paid to stay)

    05:41 why i needed them to be fake

    07:06 contempt is cheaper than transformation

    07:41 part of me wants this and part of me is still getting paid

    09:02 i didn't decide to heal, i ran out of options

    09:57 the one question to sit with

    Vincent Van den Broeck is a Brussels-based entrepreneur, restaurateur, and survivor of a near-fatal car accident that changed his life forever. On October 11th, 2024, he was struck whilst riding a scooter in a collision at 55 km/h in a 30 zone. The impact left him with multiple fractures and major brain trauma. Doctors gave little hope with most injuries of this severity having only a 10% survival rate.He spent weeks in a coma and three months in intensive rehabilitation, but recovery didn’t stop there — it became a daily mission. Against all odds, he not only regained his strength but came back stronger than before: working out 7 times a week, running a business, and building new creative projects.Today, Vincent shares his story as living proof that resilience, mindset, and community can make the impossible possible.connect with VincentGet Vincent’s book: https://www.theuidclub.com/the-book Instagram PERS: https://www.instagram.com/vincentinthekitchen/Instagram HASHTAG: https://www.instagram.com/hashtagbrussels/Instagram UID CLUB: https://www.instagram.com/theuidclub/Website: https://www.theuidclub.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vincentinthekitchen0Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vincentinthekitchen~📺watch and subscribe on youtubeVincent Van den Broeck spent his early 30s building hospitality businesses, working 300 to 400 hours a month, telling himself the same thing most high performers tell themselves, “one day I’ll slow down. one day i’ll spend more weekends with family. one day i’ll actually enjoy what i’ve built.” on the 11th of October 2024 he was hit while riding an e-scooter. three weeks in a coma. less than one percent chance of survival. his wife was told to start preparing the funeral. he came home and then had to learn to walk again, speak again, hold a knife and fork again. in this conversation we get into what was really driving all that building, what his wife and family lived through while he was unconscious, why he believes resilience is a muscle you train long before you need it, and how his definition of success changed completely. honest, direct and full of fire. enjoy 💙what we explored this episode00:00 the promise he made before everything changed01:28 what drove all that building02:54 where the “one day” mentality comes from04:20 why some industries call this normal and others call it madness05:46 losing his mum young and bankruptcy08:21 the job that built his entire life10:15 working 300 to 400 hours a month11:30 what success meant to him before the accident11:55 three questions to ask at the end of every day13:34 the last morning, the last conversation and walking back to say it properly14:50 three weeks unconscious and what his wife actually lived through16:59 belief vs conviction (and why the difference matters)19:52 relearning how to walk, speak and hold a knife and fork21:01 a thousand problems when you’re healthy, one when you’re not22:07 learning to talk louder than the voice in your head26:22 why resilience is built long before catastrophe arrives28:39 the trade-off nobody wants to hear31:20 adapt your situation to your dreams, not your dreams to your situation34:53 how ambition and non-negotiables changed after the accident38:11 being the same person whether anyone is watching or not39:49 what liberation means to Vincentconnect with me👉watch the root cause training free, 33 minutes. for anyone who understands their own pattern completely and is still run by it. a third of it is a practice, not a talk. watch it whenever.👉free resourcespractical tools, guided practices and resources to help you create more clarity, confidence and alignment - all 100% free. no catch - just high-impact support for high performers & purpose-driven humans ready to grow. enjoy! 👉need more support?if you’re interested in coaching programs and more support.👉linkedin👉facebook👉instagram👉tiktok👉youtube👉websitelots of love,david 💙
