In this episode, we dive deep into the #1 wound hurting men today—the disconnection from the feminine within. It’s about our relationship with emotions, intuition, vulnerability, and the parts of ourselves we've been taught to suppress. We explore how our culture's conditioning around masculinity has created generations of men who feel numb, shut down, and stuck in survival mode. It's time for a new narrative—one where feeling is no longer seen as weakness but as the pathway to healing, power, and true freedom. If you’ve ever felt like something’s missing, if you’ve struggled with emotional intimacy, or if you're on a path of self-mastery and awakening—this episode will speak to your soul.

“Wetiko” is the term Native Americans used for what they explained as, “virus of the mind.” Other cultures across the globe have had different names for this (archons, demons, parasites of the mind, the dark side of the human psyche, or antichrist). This is a mind virus that distorts the way we see ourselves and reality. It has us believe we are an identity outside of God/Universe/Source/Creation. It’s said to be a collection of unhealed multi-generational & ancestral trauma and abuse that moves through the psyche of humanity transferred down from generation to generation.

The call of the hero’s journey is growing louder and louder for MANY of the men out there right now. Some have just begun, some are just about to, and others somewhere along that quest. This is where you leave behind the known and take the leap into the unknown in order to discover yourself and the meaning of your life.

Sean and I both began our hero’s journey right around the same time in different ways before we knew each other. Sharing our experience and insights to help other men navigate this process is one of our greatest passions.

In this episode, we dive into some very potent topics around all of this. We share some of the best tools and wisdom we've gained from our own experience going through this process. This is for the men listening in who are hearing their soul’s calling only get louder.

In this episode we get into:

-Transcending the 9-5 construct and how that’s part of the puzzle we’re here to solve

-how to face off with the resistance to change that comes up strongly when you start saying YES to your journey

-The importance of having honest, compassionate, and REAL conversations with yourself

-Why we need to take money off a pedestal and letting it enslave us

-Practical tools that will support you in this DEEP process of awakening

-Trust is a huge part of the Hero’s Journey you can’t get out of. How it’s an absolute requisite in this process

We’re reaching a turning point in our world. We now find ourselves at the end of a 80 year generational cycle that author Neil Howe calls a “4th Turning." Historically, during a 4th turning, there’s massive conflict and division, tension and huge changes occurring socioeconomically, along with collapses and rebuilds of all kinds across the board.

As a part of the ending of this cycle, we as men are being tasked with ending the generational trauma that have plagued our world for thousands of years resulting in the war/genocide, abuse, crime, and wide-scale corruption. This is a time of both great chaos AND GREAT OPPORTUNITY. It’s our time to step up, evolve, heal our world, and put an end to so much suffering on this planet.

In today’s episode, we dive into how these generational cycles keep us slaves to our unconscious wounds and traumas that are continually playing out and cycling over and over. We inherit unresolved emotional baggage from our lineage as well as our parents who they inherited it from.

We also share ways we can free ourselves of these deeply entrenched patterns within us to bring TRUE freedom to our lives.

If we don't take ownership of healing these things, answer the call, and evolve into the men we're meant to be...our very existence is in jeopardy. This isn't a message of fear, rather, it's a message of great hope. If enough men heed this call we will create a beautiful planet for ourselves and future generations.

If you feel a sense of inspiration and readiness to answer the call, we invite you to join us in our next cohort of Legendary Leadership starting Oct 29th where we'll help you navigate these challenges and thrive during these times as a leader for yourself and your community.

If you’re feeling frustrated with life, not enjoying your experience, feeling disconnected from yourself, directionless, engaging in self-sabotage, or feeling stuck and going through the motions…you’re going to want to listen to this one.

We as men on this planet have a powerful choice ahead of us. We can live our lives as a spectator OR allow ourselves to jump into the game, fully participating and being a player in every area of our experience. Becoming the main character, no longer people pleasing, sacrificing yourself, being passive, letting life circumstances dictate your reality, and keeping yourself small.

We begin our next cohort of Legendary Leadership Oct 15th where we will together write an entirely new story as the main character. Liberating ourselves from any victimhood and coming fully alive again. We saw what’s possible these last few months, we saw what can happen when men step in, open their heart, and claim their lives again.

If this episode stirs something inside you, we invite you to trust and act on that. Life mirrors who we are BEING and our actions show who we are. Join us for this next cohort and let this time be the climax of your story…
