    The Drop the Needle Podcast

    The Drop the Needle Podcast is a series of honest, open conversations built around three things that shape how we live: spirituality, mindset, and music.

    Host Jim Alstott sits down with teachers, healers, doctors, therapists, coaches, and artists to explore the spiritual side of life — and to show that being spiritual isn’t “weird,” it’s human. We get into modalities like meditation, sound healing, and reflective writing, plus traditional and alternative approaches to health and mental health. And because we all carry a soundtrack, every guest shares the songs that shaped them.

    The goal: take the fear and mystique out of these subjects so you feel free to explore — and show how weaving them into daily life pays off, personally and professionally.

    51: Ep. 51 - Your Pain Is Your Genius | Shadow Work, Trauma & Metanoia with Steven Twohig Jan 15, 2026
    Show notes

    What if everything you’ve been trying to heal… is actually trying to awaken you?

    What if suffering isn’t something to escape, but something sacred?

    In this episode of the Drop the Needle podcast, host Jim Alstott engages in a deep conversation with Steven Twohig, who shares his journey through shadow work, childhood trauma, spirituality, and personal transformation. From working with Tony Robbins to exploring the healing power of ayahuasca, this episode dives into how unintegrated pain shapes identity, leadership, and purpose.

    We explore the concept of metanoia, a profound inner shift that doesn’t just change what you do, but who you are. Steven explains how spirituality and business can coexist, why most of our thoughts are survival-based, and how music plays a vital role in healing and collective awakening.

    This is a conversation about confronting the shadow, reclaiming the self, and understanding why your pain may actually be your greatest gift.
