You're Not Broken—You're Just Pretending | Peter Crone on Why Your Healing Is Making You Worse
Episode Description
What if everything you're doing to "heal" is actually reinforcing the problem?
In this raw, revelatory conversation, host Aaron Mathias sits down with Peter Crone, the "Mind Architect, who's worked with elite athletes, celebrities, and seekers worldwide, to dismantle one of the biggest lies in wellness culture:
That there's something wrong with you.
Peter doesn't sugarcoat it. He goes straight to the root: your supplements, your routines, your
10-device sleep stack, your weekly therapy sessions… they might all be sophisticated forms of
avoidance. You're not broken. You're just living from a lens you can't see—one that whispers "this isn't it" on repeat. And that whisper? It's costing you everything.
What You'll Discover in This Episode:
• Why "wanting" creates time… and time creates suffering
• The hidden cost of living like where you are isn't enough
• How grief, loss, and childhood narratives become the invisible architecture of your adult life
• Why most therapy keeps you in the problem instead of dissolving it
• The difference between coping mechanisms and true liberation
• How your fascia, breath, and nervous system are storing stories you've forgotten
• Why Peter says: "You can't be held accountable for what you're oblivious to"
• The trap of biohacking: making your box prettier vs. busting it wide open
• What it actually feels like to stop resisting life (hint: it's not "positive thinking")

Peter's Most Powerful Lines:

• "You only have anxiety because you don't know who you are."

• "If you don't free yourself, you'll just become the best version of your limited self."

through life—mentally, emotionally, physically—this conversation will stop you in your tracks.
