Kyle Cease | I Fasted For 11 Days To Dissolve Trauma (Surrender Experiment)

Author: Josh Trent January 6, 2026 Duration: 1:25:44

Is the discomfort you’re trying to fix actually the signal calling you back to your soul instead of another problem to solve?

Josh Trent welcomes Ex-Comedian, Kyle Cease, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 791, to explore how fasting dissolves emotional hunger, why effort and ambition are often trauma driven, how the ego uses goals and problems to stay in control, why pain is a spiritual teacher, and how surrendering identity, outcomes, and the need to be someone can reconnect us to soul, presence, and God.


In This Episode, Kyle Cease Uncovers:

  • (01:28) Fasting to “know God” vs fasting for results
  • (03:23) Hunger as emotion: food, love, and childhood safety patterns
  • (10:29) The paradox of “not being your parent” (opposite clothes)
  • (18:38) Efforting vs effortless: force as an argument with God
  • (20:50) “What do I do?” is often fear — ask “What’s here?” instead
  • (33:10) If you need a circumstance to be happy, you’ve made it your God
  • (49:38) Kyle’s awakening: backlash, panic, hotel room, and separating from thoughts
  • (01:08:10) Defining God beyond religious trauma
  • (01:19:47) The practice: “Everything is okay” and doing life from overflow
