Awaken with Oliver Podcast

How childhood trauma silently shapes your life — and how to heal it

In this raw, unedited conversation, Stephen Young shares what it was like growing up around conflict, carrying emotional wounds in silence, and learning how to survive without ever being shown how to heal.

We explore how childhood trauma doesn’t disappear with time — it quietly shapes your identity, emotional reactions, self-worth, and relationships, often running your life beneath the surface without your awareness.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in repeating patterns, struggles with emotional triggers they can’t explain, or senses that unresolved childhood experiences are still influencing their present.

In this episode, we explore:

• How childhood trauma silently shapes adult behaviour

• Why unresolved emotional wounds repeat in relationships

• How to recognise triggers and unconscious emotional patterns

• Practical tools for healing the inner child

• Transforming pain into clarity, strength, and emotional freedom

• Breaking generational cycles and building healthier relationships

If you’re ready to face your past honestly and reclaim emotional stability, self-trust, and inner freedom, this episode is for you.

About the Podcast

This is a raw, unedited podcast exploring healing, self-awareness, emotional health, trauma recovery, consciousness, and personal growth. Conversations are unscripted and led by the moment, focusing on what it actually takes to live authentically in the modern world.

Hosted by Oliver — who healed Tourette’s, ADHD, and OCD at 21 through lifestyle changes, meditation, and nervous system regulation — the podcast explores real-world healing beyond theory, labels, or surface-level spirituality.

Each episode dives into topics such as childhood trauma, emotional triggers, inner child healing, mindfulness, mental health, identity, nervous system healing, breaking generational patterns, and building emotional resilience through honest conversations, lived experience, and practical insight.

This podcast is for anyone seeking clarity, emotional freedom, and deeper self-understanding — without bypassing reality or pretending healing is simple.

In this episode, Markus Westhuizen and I explore how travel and unfamiliar environments force the mind to change — breaking habitual thought patterns, disrupting identity, and accelerating inner growth.

We discuss why movement unsettles overthinking, why presence matters more than location, and how entering new cultures exposes emotional triggers, ego, and unconscious conditioning — especially for people who feel different, misunderstood, or out of place in the world.

Rather than using travel as escape, this conversation looks at travel as exposure — a direct confrontation with who you are when comfort, routine, and identity fall away. We explore how discomfort rewires perception, how globalisation is shaping human consciousness, and why travel can become a powerful tool for self-observation and awakening when approached consciously.

This episode is for anyone interested in personal growth, conscious travel, identity, presence, awakening, nervous system regulation, and self-awareness — especially if you’ve always felt like you don’t quite belong.

Why intuition alone fails in real life — and when structure becomes unavoidable

In this raw, unedited conversation, visionary artist Simon Haiduk and I explore what happens when pure intuition collides with real-world pressure: deadlines, money, travel, and responsibility.

Simon shares how he backpacked the world in 2000–2001 with zero plans, no phone, and complete trust in intuition — and why that same approach can quietly collapse in modern life without structure to support it.

We move through underground civilizations, ancient buried cities, psychedelic tribal living, and discoveries that challenge official history — all grounded in one central question:

Can you live fully in flow without your life falling apart?

I’m Oliver — I healed Tourette’s, ADHD, and OCD through lifestyle changes and meditation at 21. This podcast explores what happens when inner work meets real life. It’s unscripted, honest, and led entirely by the moment.

In this episode:

• Why intuition alone fails under real-world pressure

• Backpacking the world with no plans — when it works and when it doesn’t

• Damanhur: Italy’s hidden underground temple civilization

• Ancient cities buried beneath modern ones

• Living with the Huichol peyote tribe and seasonal intuition

• Graham Hancock’s latest discoveries reshaping history

If you’re drawn to intuition, spirituality, visionary art, ancient mysteries, and learning how to balance flow with real life, this episode is for you.
