&

 

Channel Your Anger into a Powerful Protective Force! 

 

The hilarious and brilliantly philosophical comedian Pete Holmes is in the MBB studio this week to share his thoughts on the nature of reality & consciousness, his struggles with navigating competing loyalties to loved ones, & how his journey to grow up helped him find his comedic gifts.

 

Pete opens up about the shocking moment of betrayal from his first marriage & how the painful lessons he learned led to his radical growth — which was the basis for his TV show CRASHING. He shares how he overcame his co-dependent relationship with his ex-wife, dedicated himself to his comedy, and navigated a relatable & emotionally complex relationship with his mom.

 

He also talks about why he believes psychedelics could be the key to unlocking a connection with the Universe and accessing deep realms of  human consciousness.

 

He also shares how his prior path toward aspiring youth pastor primed him for his current career in comedy and how he has reclaimed the religious teachings he grew up with. PLUS....what does it mean that Mayim & Pete have the same Enneagram number?? 

 

You won’t want to miss Pete’s emotional breakthrough in therapy that taught him to honor his anger!
