The morning it stopped working
Where the bottom actually was, and the ordinary Tuesday that turned it.
The Healing and Abundance Podcast
Jed Nilson on recovery, alternative healing, and the unglamorous work of putting a life back together. New episodes every Tuesday.
Recorded in Ogden, Utah, with people who mostly are not used to being recorded.
Most of the people who come on this show have said something out loud here for the first time. You are probably listening alone in a car on the way to work, which is where most of it lands anyway.
Nobody frames a house before the footings cure. The show follows the same sequence, and so does everything else on this site.
Getting sober and staying there. The part everyone wants to skip.
→Sleep, food, movement, and the boring structure that holds a week together.
→Therapy, breathwork, plant medicine, bodywork. What earned its place and what did not.
→Purpose, money, and relationships once the shaking stops.
→Ten recorded before launch so the feed does not go quiet in week three. Video and audio, every Tuesday.

Where the bottom actually was, and the ordinary Tuesday that turned it.

An honest ledger of the money, the modalities, and the years.

A practitioner on why the simplest tool keeps outperforming the rest.
Forty-six things he has tested on himself, scheduled the way a drawing set schedules doors and windows. Every one links to the episode it came from.

Fig. 01 · Ogden, Utah · Season one
Jed runs a homebuilding company in Utah that his father started.
He spent years putting up houses for other people while his own life quietly came apart. Getting sober was the first thing he had ever built that nobody could see, and it took longer than any project he had ever run.
Now he goes looking for what actually works and records the conversations. Practitioners, teachers, and people further along than he is. He is an aspiring yogi, which he will tell you is mostly aspiring.
J. NILSON · OGDEN, UTAHA drawing set lists everyone who touched it. Same idea. Each guest is filed against the sheet they appear on.
Every set carries them. Read these before you take anything here as instruction.
This is not a treatment programme and it is not medical advice. If you are in danger, call someone qualified before you finish this sentence.
You do not have to be sober to listen. A lot of people here are still deciding, and that counts as being in it.
Every practice in the schedule was tested on one person. That is a sample size of one, and it is worth saying out loud.
Episodes release Tuesdays at 06:00 Mountain. Transcripts follow within a day and are free to everyone.
Nothing here is sponsored. The Circle pays for production, which is the whole reason there are no ads in season one.
