#215: Protecting your peace in a world that profits from your chaos

Is this really worth losing your peace over?


That’s the question Joshua Church invites us to live by in this powerful solo episode of The Way You Lead.


In a world constantly pulling at our attention—and our nervous systems—Joshua explores the daily practice of protecting your peace. Drawing inspiration from Michael Singer and the simple yet profound lessons of life (like getting cut off in traffic), he breaks down how we give away our power and how to start reclaiming it.


What we cover:

  • How to shift from reacting to allowing
  • Why peace is a muscle, and how to build it
  • The spiritual paradox of “trying” to be peaceful
  • A Buddhist parable that might just change your week
  • Flipping the script on success and redefining what you’re really working toward


If you’ve ever felt hijacked by a comment, a headline, or a stranger’s actions—this is your reminder: You don’t have to give it your energy.


Listen in and reclaim your peace.

#214: From Disconnection to Integration: How to Lead, Heal, and Thrive with Scott Olsen

Disconnection may be one of the biggest health issues we face today—and most people don’t even realize they’re living in it.


In this rich and revealing conversation, Joshua sits down with healer, martial artist, and fascia expert Scott Olsen to explore what it truly means to live and lead in an integrated way. From working with world-class athletes to practicing ancient internal martial arts in Beijing, Scott brings decades of experience helping high performers get out of pain and back into their bodies.


Together, they unpack what causes disconnection, how the body shapes itself to survive (even in dysfunction), and how presence—not performance—is the real access point to healing.


Key insights include:

  • Why your nervous system is like a puppy (and how to stop it from running the show)
  • The hidden cost of comfort and how to rewire your relationship with rest
  • What internal martial arts can teach us about presence, power, and adaptability
  • Why fascia matters and how tension patterns tell the real story of pain
  • How to start listening to your body instead of commanding it


Whether you’re in pain, pushing hard, or simply seeking a deeper connection to yourself, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate invitation to slow down, listen in, and lead from within.
