You built the life you were supposed to want. So why doesn't it feel like enough?

Passion Struck with John R. Miles is the #1 alternative health podcast exploring the deepest questions of human well-being — how we think, how we feel, how we connect, and how we build lives that don't quietly hollow us out from the inside. Hosted by bestselling author, Navy veteran, and former Fortune 50 executive John R. Miles, this is the show for anyone who wants to understand themselves more deeply and live more fully.

Every week, John sits down with the world's leading voices across neuroscience, psychology, medicine, philosophy, sports, business, and the arts — guests like Seth Godin, Ryan Holiday, Susan Cain, Mark Hyman, Angela Duckworth, and Arthur Brooks. Together, they explore what it actually takes to build a life that feels like yours—how to strengthen your mind and body, build relationships that sustain you, find purpose before you’ve lost it or reclaim it after you have, and break free from stress, numbness, and the quiet drift of going through the motions.

Whether you're 26 and trying to build your life the right way from the start, or 43 and wondering why the life you built doesn't feel like yours, this show meets you exactly where you are. Because the questions you're carrying deserve real answers.

New episodes every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

    How to Stay Always Connected to Spirit – Even When Life Feels Hard or Overwhelming | Suzanne Giesemann - EP 788 )
    Jul 2 2026
    Today’s episode will change how you think about your connection to something greater — and give you simple tools you can use the next time life feels uncertain, painful, or overwhelming.

    Do you ever feel disconnected from guidance when you need it most?

    Do you struggle with grief, disappointment, health challenges, or despair and wonder if anyone is listening?

    Or maybe you’ve always sensed there’s more support available but don’t know how to access it.

    According to today’s guest, you are never alone. You are always connected. In this powerful conversation, John R. Miles welcomes Suzanne Giesemann back to Passion Struck. Suzanne is a former Navy Commander, aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, evidential medium, and Hay House author of the new book Always Connected. In this episode, you’ll learn:
    • The missing piece most people ignore in spiritual practice— the Hara— and how it creates a rock-solid connection
    • The 3-minute “SIP of the Divine” practice that works even if you think you can’t meditate
    • How to tell real spirit guidance apart from fear or imagination
    • Why physical challenges can become powerful spiritual teachers (including Suzanne’s own recent health scare)
    • The incredible story of Wayne Dyer visiting Suzanne — and what it proves about life after death
    • How evidence-based mediumship creates instant healing and peace
    • Practical ways to handle grief, self-worth struggles, disappointment, and despair in today’s world
    Suzanne blends military discipline, mediumship precision, and deep spiritual wisdom into teachings that are both profound and immediately usable. Whether you’re new to this work or have been on the path for years, this conversation will leave you feeling more supported, peaceful, and connected than you have in a long time.

  • Healing Your Body Image From the Inside Out | Whitney Otto - EP 787

    Healing Your Body Image From the Inside Out | Whitney Otto - EP 787
    Jun 30 2026
    In this episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles sits down with executive coach, former therapist, and former U.S. National Team rower Whitney Otto to explore one of the most personal struggles people carry: their relationship with their bodies.Drawing from her new book, Body Image Inside Out, co-authored with Deb Schachter, Whitney challenges the belief that body image is merely about appearance. Instead, she reveals how our feelings about our bodies are deeply intertwined with our experiences of belonging, family, achievement, health, and self-worth. Their conversation explores why negative body image often becomes a container for overwhelming emotions, how shame thrives in secrecy, and why curiosity may be a more powerful path to healing than self-improvement.John and Whitney discuss the hidden costs of being at war with ourselves, the role of relational mirrors in shaping identity, and why many high performers continue to struggle with feeling comfortable in their own skin despite outward success. Through personal stories, practical exercises, and compassionate insights, they offer a new framework for understanding body image—not as an enemy to conquer, but as a relationship that can be nurtured, understood, and transformed.In this episode, you'll learn:Why body image is shaped by relationships, culture, health experiences, and belonging—not simply physical appearanceThe hidden emotional and psychological costs of being at war with your bodyHow negative body image often becomes a way of managing overwhelming feelings such as sadness, anxiety, fear, and lonelinessWhy curiosity and self-compassion are more effective than self-criticism when creating lasting changeWhat "relational mirrors" reveal about the people who help us feel seen—and those who diminish our sense of selfHow jealousy can become a teacher that points us toward deeper desires rather than a source of shame or comparisonThe Body Image Rotary framework and how to interrupt cycles of self-criticism before they become habitual patternsWhy the process of getting dressed can become a daily practice of self-awareness and sensory compassion rather than judgmentHow early experiences with caregivers influence our relationship with our bodies throughout adulthoodThe simple but profound question Whitney believes every person should ask themselves: "What are you feeling?" instead of "What do I need to fix?"This conversation offers a compassionate roadmap for moving from self-judgment to self-understanding, showing that flourishing begins not by changing our bodies, but by changing the relationship we have with them. As Whitney reminds us, our bodies are often carrying stories that our minds have not yet found the words to tell.Passion Struck is the #1 Health and Wellness Podcast and personal growth podcast dedicated to helping people live intentionally, unlock human potential, and create lives filled with meaning, purpose, and mattering.Limited Time Offers:Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at SHOPIFY.COM/PASSIONSTRUCKFunction Health: functionhealth.com/PASSION or use gift code PASSION25 for a $25 credit toward your membership.FODZYME: Get 30% off your first order at ICanEatAgain.com/PASSIONSTRUCKFull Show NotesDownload the Digital WorkbookLearn more about Whitney Otto:Website: https://www.bodyimageinsideout.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitney-otto/Connect with John Pre-Order The Mattering Effect: https://matteringeffect.com/Book John to Speak: https://johnrmiles.com/speaking/Keynotes, books, podcast, and resources: https://linktr.ee/John_R_MilesChildren’s Book — You Matter, Luma: https://youmatterluma.com/Substack: https://www.theignitedlife.net/Support the Movement: https://startmattering.com/.

  • The Courage to Become Yourself: Remembering Who You Are | John R. Miles - EP 786

    The Courage to Become Yourself: Remembering Who You Are | John R. Miles - EP 786
    Jun 26 2026
    In this solo episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles explores perhaps the deepest form of disconnection we experience—not from other people, but from ourselves.Every stage of life quietly asks us to become someone. Families, schools, workplaces, and culture reward certain behaviors and identities while discouraging others. Over time, the adaptations that once helped us survive can harden into identities we mistake for who we truly are. The result isn't failure. It's forgetting.Drawing on the enduring story of Hook, John examines why Peter Pan's greatest tragedy wasn't growing up—it was forgetting who he had been all along. Through insights from psychology, attachment theory, identity research, and the remarkable conversations that shaped the Connection Crisis series, John explores how modern life pulls us away from authenticity and what it means to finally find our way home.This episode challenges one of the biggest assumptions in personal development: that flourishing requires becoming someone new. Instead, John argues that flourishing begins when we stop performing, remember who we are, and trust ourselves enough to live from that place.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why adaptation is essential for survival—but dangerous when it becomes identity• How childhood expectations and social environments shape the person we believe we must become• What Hook teaches us about memory, identity, and the gradual process of forgetting ourselves• The hidden difference between participating in life and merely performing it• Why success often feels empty when it is disconnected from authenticity• How perfectionism, people-pleasing, hyper-independence, and overachievement become emotional armor• Why self-discovery is never a solitary journey—and how other people help us remember who we are• The profound connection between belonging, mattering, and authentic identity• Why courage is less about reinvention and more about trusting the person you've always been• What it truly means to flourish: returning to the life you already have with a different heart and a renewed awareness of yourselfThis episode is an invitation to stop chasing a better version of yourself and begin remembering the person who has been waiting patiently beneath years of responsibility, expectation, and adaptation. Because the life you've been searching for was never somewhere else—it has been waiting inside the person you've been all along.Passion Struck is the #1 Health and Wellness Podcast and personal growth podcast dedicated to helping people live intentionally, unlock human potential, and create lives rooted in meaning, purpose, belonging, and mattering.Limited-Time Offers:Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at SHOPIFY.COM/PASSIONSTRUCKFunction Health: Visit functionhealth.com/PASSION or use code PASSION25 for a $25 credit toward your membership.FODZYME: Get 30% off your first order at ICanEatAgain.com/PASSIONSTRUCK.Full Show NotesDownload the Digital WorkbookIf this episode resonated with you, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone who may have forgotten a part of themselves along the way.
