Discover how to stop chasing the "how" and surrender to the intelligence that beats your heart in this profound conversation with Cortney McDermott, exploring quantum physics, the Dao teaching of non-doing, and aligning to your future self in 2026.

Learn why relaxation and surrender are more powerful than forced action, how to navigate the back-and-forth between old identity and new nervous system, and the four ways to get ice cream as a framework for understanding forced versus effortless action.

Cortney reveals the white fire of purification process, probability amplitude alignment, and why you must be willing to blow up your phoenix to be reborn.
