The Manufactured Mind

💥 It started with one hit. It ends with one truth. I’m Josh Robey, a Marine vet, survivor, and host of The Manufactured Mind. After 10 years of battling addiction, I’ve spent the last 2 rebuilding my life. Now, I’m sharing my story and the stories of others who’ve fought their way back from the edge. This podcast is raw. It’s real. And it’s for anyone who’s ever felt broken but refused to stay that way.

Reclaiming the Mind & Body

Description:

In a world engineered to distract and distort, The Manufactured Mind invites you to pause, reflect, and rebuild. This space is dedicated to encouraging recovery, not just from addiction or trauma, but from misinformation, unhealthy habits, and unconscious living. Here, we explore what it truly means to nourish both mind and body, and how awareness of what we consume, physically, mentally, and emotionally, can be the first step toward transformation.

Deep Thought:

"Healing begins when we stop outsourcing our choices and start listening to the wisdom within."

Changing the stigmatized term addiction to referring to it as OCD has empowered me immensely and I dive right into this in this episode and how changing your terminology can have a positive impact on your recovery. I mean let's be real , Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is the same as "Addiction" , they both consist of obsessive and compulsive behavior therefore referring to addiction as OCD has truly made thing so much easier on me as far as cravings ,triggers etc.
I dive into this as well , so enjoy and share with someone you know that may need a perspective shift in active use or in recovery !

Talking about the roles of drugs and Pharmaceuticals in societal collapse to truth telling, respectful discourse and free speech . I also mention the importance of the father and how children have grew up in a broken home, including myself and how devastating that is to a child's mind and leads them more often than not , down a path of misery and self destruction .
A woman is a mother for a reason and a man is a father for a reason , neither one can take the other ones place , it's a team effort , the father brings value where the mother doesn't and the mother brings value where the father doesn't.... This is the point of the mother and father ! Be better fathers and mothers ! Know the person well before you have children with them , this hook up culture is making this issue worse !

*Explicit* The unresolved trauma in us men, how it leads to substance abuse and how men are being treated like defective women as far as the treatment model is tailored to a feminine approach. We as men , need treatment tailored to masculinity for what works for women therapeutically isn't working for us men , there needs to be a tailored treatment approach for both !
