    Burnout isn’t just about overwork. It’s about disconnection.

    In this episode of Inspire Create Manifest, Joe Longo sits down with Dr Kimani Borland to explore burnout through a radically different lens, one rooted in biology, nervous system wisdom, and the natural rhythms of being human.

    Dr Borland shares how modern culture conditions us to function like machines, why rest often feels loaded with guilt, and how chronic distraction pulls us away from meaning, intuition, and purpose. Together, they explore burnout not as weakness or failure, but as a signal, an intelligent message from the body asking us to slow down and listen.

    You’ll hear insights on:

    • Why burnout is emotional and existential, not just physical

    • How seasonal living and cycles support nervous system health

    • Yoga and herbal medicine as tools for resilience

    • The quiet inner voice we ignore until exhaustion forces us to pay attention

    If you’ve been feeling depleted, detached, or disconnected from yourself, this conversation is an invitation to return to your humanity.

  • Two Bald Dudes Ep 3 Mirrors, Algorithms, and Awareness in the Age of Distraction
    Feb 9 2026

    In Episode 3 of Two Bald Dudes, Joe and Romain explore mirrors, awareness, and the algorithms shaping both our screens and our minds.

    Using humor, cultural references, and grounded insight, they unpack how attention feeds perception, how distraction dulls intuition, and why the body acts as a tuning fork for truth. From social media algorithms to internal belief systems, this episode reveals how what we focus on is reflected back to us again and again.

    The conversation weaves through belonging, tribal identity, purpose, and the subtle ways awareness disappears when fitting in matters more than truth. This episode invites listeners to slow down, reconnect with their internal guidance system, and take responsibility for the mirror they stand in front of.

  • Something Feels Off Because Everything Is Off
    Feb 5 2026

    Something feels off right now, and it’s not subtle, personal, or imaginary.
    It’s systemic.

    In this episode, Joe speaks candidly about why so many people feel unmotivated, disconnected, and resistant to pushing forward. Not because they are lazy or broken, but because their nervous systems are overwhelmed by a world built on constant distraction, division, and manipulation.

    Joe explores how attention is weaponized, creativity is flattened, and critical thinking is quietly discouraged, and why slowing down, questioning, and pulling inward are not failures, but signs of awareness coming back online.

    This is not a political conversation and it’s not about choosing sides.
    It’s about choosing yourself.

    If you’ve been feeling stuck, exhausted, or like something just isn’t right anymore, this episode invites you to step out of the noise, reconnect to your own inner authority, and remember that you are allowed to think, choose, and live for yourself.

  • Listening to the Body, Trusting the Voice Within Yoga Therapy, Awareness, and the Power of Choice with Alex Holmes
    Feb 3 2026

    Get your tickets to the Philadelphia Yoga Conference HERE

    In this episode of Inspire Create Manifest, Joe sits down with Alexandra Holmes, a longtime teacher, yoga therapist, and movement educator whose work is rooted in awareness, honesty, and deep respect for the human experience.

    Alex shares her journey from professional dancer to yoga therapist, including how a cancer diagnosis reshaped her relationship with her body, her practice, and her teaching. Together, they explore what yoga therapy really means, why the practice is never one-size-fits-all, and how awareness becomes the bridge between effort and ease.

    This conversation is a reminder that the body is always communicating, and that real practice begins when we slow down enough to listen. Alex also gives a glimpse into her upcoming workshops at the Philadelphia Yoga Conference, where she’ll be teaching dynamic sequencing and the art of working one-on-one with students in a way that honors individuality, patience, and trust.

    If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, stuck in old patterns, or unsure how to meet yourself where you are, this episode offers a grounded path back to clarity, choice, and compassion.

  • Why Identity Feels Safer Than Truth - TWO BALD DUDES
    Feb 2 2026

    Download Week 2 Journal - subscribepage.io/GGvoCR

    In Episode 2 of Two Bald Dudes, Joe and Romain explore the idea that identity often feels safer than truth, and how the masks we wear can both protect us and quietly limit us.

    This conversation moves through the difference between using a mask consciously versus getting trapped inside it. Joe shares personal reflections on showing up creatively, finding his voice over time, and how repeated practice slowly dissolves fear. Romain offers embodied insight into discomfort as a signal for growth, using metaphors like shedding skin and the lobster outgrowing its shell.

    Together, they unpack why staying comfortable can keep us stuck, how discomfort signals readiness for change, and why small daily practices like gratitude, silence, and journaling are not optional if we want to grow.

    This episode invites you to notice where you may be clinging to familiar discomfort instead of stepping into unfamiliar freedom.

  • Identity Lag, When Your Awareness Has Already Moved On
    Jan 29 2026

    You’re not tired because you’re doing too much.You’re tired because you’ve outgrown who you used to be.

    There’s a kind of fatigue that rest doesn’t fix.

    It doesn’t come from doing too much, being busy, or failing. It comes from living a life you’ve already outgrown.

    In this episode of Inspire Create Manifest, Joe explores identity lag, the space that opens when your awareness has evolved, but your identity hasn’t fully caught up yet. You’ve done the work. You’re meditating, journaling, practicing gratitude, but something still feels off.

    Joe breaks down why this isn’t burnout or confusion, why seeking more information won’t fix it, and why the real shift happens when you decide who you are now.

    This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, disconnected, or like they’re waiting at the gate for a life that hasn’t boarded yet. You’ll leave with clarity, a simple daily practice, and permission to claim the identity you’ve already grown into.
