Josh’s Story

From Burden to Liberation

A lifetime of pain, remembrance, science, and God-led transformation, now shared to empower yours.

HIS STORY: The Journey Behind the Mission

Behind every framework Josh teaches is a real, human story — one marked by early trauma, spiritual awakening, and the long road back to peace.

Josh Trent didn’t set out to become an Identity Transformation Architect. His life simply demanded it. His story is proof that when we heal the emotional patterns passed down through generations, we don’t just change ourselves… we change the entire future for our children.

This page walks you through the journey that gave birth to Emotional Epigenetics™, the L.I.F.E. Method™, and the Liberated Life™ Ecosystem.

The Path That Remembered Him

A lifelong unfolding from pain to peace, guided by God, biology, and the courage to finally feel.

1980–1984
The Initiation​

Josh’s journey began in a home marked by bipolar disorder, emotional instability, and disconnection. He learned survival instead of safety, while early chronic sinus issues reflected a body carrying stress long before he had language for it. These first emotional imprints quietly shaped patterns that would follow him for decades.

2002–2014
The Separation

In adulthood, Josh built a performance-driven “Fitness Pro” identity, chasing success while growing increasingly disconnected from himself. Coping showed up through porn, alcohol, womanizing, and constant striving. Although life appeared successful on the outside, inwardly he was collapsing. In 2014, job loss, heartbreak, debt, and his mother entering a mental institution revealed that physical achievement couldn’t heal emotional pain.

2015–2022 The Apotheosis

What followed was an embodied awakening. Josh immersed himself in trauma work, epigenetics, breathwork, somatic healing, psychology, and spiritual practice while interviewing hundreds of experts. Transformation stopped being intellectual and became lived experience. During this phase, Emotional Epigenetics™ crystallized, alongside the creation of the L.I.F.E. Method™, BTFA Loop™, Authentic Liberation™ philosophy, and the Wellness Pentagon™.

You were only remembering the parts of you God always knew.”

1984–2002
The Sacred Calling

Bullied for his weight, Josh learned to use humor as armor to protect his sensitive heart. Even in the pain, a deeper awareness began to form—a quiet inner knowing that his experiences were preparing him for something meaningful. The roots of his sacred calling took shape here, long before he could name it.

2015
The Atonement

After hitting emotional rock bottom, surrender became the catalyst for transformation. Josh asked the question that changed everything: “God, what do you want me to do?” This marked the beginning of letting God rebuild what survival had shaped and planting the early seeds of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast.

2025–Present
The Return

Josh stepped fully into his role as an Identity Transformation Architect—not to fix the past, but to redeem it. He returned to heal the emotional DNA carried from his mother, launched the global Emotional Epigenetics™ movement, rebranded to Wellness and Wisdom, LLC, and expanded the Liberated Life™ Tribe and practitioner path. This marks the beginning of his legacy—guiding others to liberate their lineage and return to peace.

The Six Stages of Josh’s Journey

A story of inherited wounds, radical surrender, and the frameworks that emerged to heal generations.

1. The Initiation

Josh’s story begins in a childhood shaped by emotional volatility and inherited patterns. Survival became the foundation of his early identity, imprinting the first layers of his emotional epigenome.

2. The Sacred Calling

Even in the chaos, a spark formed. As a sensitive kid using humor to protect his heart, Josh began sensing a deeper purpose, an inner knowing that one day, he’d help others navigate the emotional worlds he was forced to face alone.

3. The Separation

In adulthood, those early wounds morphed into coping, addiction, and a performance-driven identity. He chased success to escape pain, but the further he ran, the more disconnected he became from himself.

4. The Atonement

Everything shifted when life brought him to his knees. Through surrender and humility, he reconnected with God and began shedding the layers built from survival. His inner compass finally pointed toward truth instead of protection.

5. The Apotheosis

This is where transformation became real. Josh integrated breathwork, somatic healing, spiritual remembrance, and scientific insight into embodied experience, realizing he wasn’t broken, only remembering who he truly is.

6. The Return

Now grounded in his purpose, Josh shares the wisdom born from his healing. His journey becomes a map for others learning to liberate their lineage, rewrite their biology, and return to peace.

What the Journey Revealed

What Josh lived through became more than a story, it became a system. The lessons he gained while healing his own inherited patterns now guide thousands on the same path. These teachings continue to shape the Emotional Epigenetics™ movement, helping people transform their identity, expand their emotional capacity, and set a new standard for future generations.
