do it for the clips

What happens when your entire identity shifts overnight and the world is watching? In this episode of Do It For The Clips, we sit down with Jeremy Awakens, a Miami-based content creator and entrepreneur who built a massive following in the health and wellness space before October 7th completely changed the direction of his life, his platform, and his purpose. Jeremy opens up about his journey from holistic health advocate and microdosing educator to one of the most vocal Jewish voices on social media. He talks about losing 25,000 followers overnight, finding a new tribe, reconnecting with his Jewish roots, the power of Shabbat, and why staying silent is the most dangerous thing a Jewish person can do right now. He also gets into psychedelics, the science, the spirituality, the stigma, and the surprising connections to Jewish history. Plus, what it really means to shed an old identity, stop caring what people think, and build a life rooted in truth. This one goes deep. You have been warned.
