Radical Responsibility Podcast

What if anxiety, burnout, and chronic stress aren’t isolated problems—but interconnected signals pointing toward something deeper?

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with naturopathic doctor and psychotherapist Dr. Ameet Aggarwal to explore his holistic approach to understanding the relationship between our physical health, nervous system, emotions, and unresolved trauma. Drawing from his own childhood experiences and years of working with patients, Ameet explains why he believes lasting healing requires looking beyond symptoms to understand what may be happening throughout the entire mind-body system.

Together, they explore what Ameet calls the five pillars of health: the gut, liver, adrenal system, childhood and emotional trauma, and ancestral or family-system trauma. Ameet explains the connections he sees between chronic stress, digestive health, inflammation, burnout, and emotional wellbeing—and why he combines naturopathic medicine with psychotherapy rather than treating the mind and body separately.

The conversation also dives into family constellations therapy and the possibility that some of the emotional patterns we carry may be connected to unresolved experiences within our family systems. Ameet shares his perspective on homeopathy, emotional healing, and the body-mind connection before guiding Fleet through two practical exercises: alternate nostril breathing and a powerful “permission to feel” practice designed to help us stop fighting difficult emotions and create greater choice within the nervous system.

Why do the same relationship patterns seem to repeat themselves, even when we're deeply committed to creating healthier connections?

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with integrative therapist and bestselling author Alex Howard to explore how childhood experiences shape the stories we tell ourselves, the attachment styles we develop, and the nervous system patterns that influence every relationship in our lives. Alex explains why our reactions are often driven less by what's happening in the present and more by the meanings we assigned to our earliest experiences.

Together, they unpack the four attachment styles, the importance of nervous system regulation, and why true healing isn't simply about changing our stories—it's about discovering the deeper truth beneath them. They also explore the difference between translational and transformational healing, how curiosity and compassion can replace defensiveness in relationships, and why cultivating vitality and emotional resilience allows us to show up more fully for the people we love.

Whether you're navigating romantic relationships, family dynamics, or your own healing journey, this conversation offers a practical framework for building greater security, connection, and lasting love.

Most entrepreneurs believe the path to success starts with building a business from the ground up. Roland Frasier believes there's a smarter way.

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with renowned entrepreneur, investor, and acquisitions expert Roland Frasier to unpack the strategies behind buying, scaling, and selling businesses.

Many entrepreneurs and high achievers believe success requires pushing harder.
