The Writing
Greg writes the way he coaches: direct, honest, and without shortcuts. Real explorations of inner work, identity, nourishment, and what happens when you stop performing and start paying attention.
What happens when you remove every external stimulus and sit with yourself for ten days straight? A raw account of fear, boredom, revelation, and what was waiting underneath it all.
Before entering the darkness retreat, a reflection on what we actually fear when the lights go out, and why we spend so much energy avoiding stillness.
Emerging from ten days of total darkness only to be stranded in Mexico by a hurricane. When life tests whether your inner work can survive the real world.

Where is the line between open minded and gullible? A framework for evaluating practices that sit outside mainstream science without dismissing them entirely.
The Cartesian split is one of the most damaging ideas in Western culture. Why treating your mind and body as separate systems leads you further from health.
The single most important distinction you can make for your mental health. Why identifying with your thoughts keeps you stuck and what to do instead.
The most destructive pattern in fitness, nutrition, and life. Why always something beats all or nothing every single time, and how to make the shift.
Who are you when you strip away the titles, the achievements, and the roles? What happens when the identity you built no longer fits the person you are becoming?
Going deeper into the stories we tell ourselves and the cost of living inside a narrative that no longer serves us.
The unsustainability of chasing a reflection that keeps moving. Post show blues, training for performance versus aesthetics, and making peace with what you see.
The game within the game. Why your relationship with yourself determines the ceiling of everything else.
The skill nobody teaches. Learning to sit with mild hunger without panic, reactivity, or a trip to the pantry.
When did eating become a math problem? The case for pleasure, presence, and actually tasting what you put in your mouth.
The craving is real. The question is whether the craving is about sugar, or about something else entirely.
The first essay. A question that sounds simple until you sit with it. Health as the integration of body, mind, and the stories you carry about both.
Your nervous system does not know the difference between a bear and a deadline. But you can learn to tell the difference between genuine threat and productive discomfort.
