Episode 25 - Bodybuilding to building brotherhood W/ Ryan Rowlands

Brotherhood Chats

Ryan started his journey in his early years and soon felt the desire to move away from the curve of day to day society and packed his bags and started an incredible journey that has led him to co-creating events such as Brotherhood Awakening with fellow brother Jamie.

He is also heavily involved in the up-and-coming Sacred Sons coming from America to share the magic they offer to the men of the world.

It's a remarkable journey of a man overcoming burdens to building a platform for men here in Australia to follow in his footsteps.

We also go deep into some amazing events we have all witnessed over the past few years and how it has changed the landscape for the masses in such positive ways.

Suhani moved to Australia from India, dreaming of climbing the corporate ladder and becoming a CEO.

She was jealous of everyone around her and wanted to use this drive in the corporate world to prove her self worth.

It was through this drive that she realised that something in her world was not right. She was anxious all the time and surround by gaslighters and an extremely negative rumour mill.

It wasn't until she finally cracked was she able to realise a true purpose of first healing herself to being able to support others.

We go deep in this episode about what it is like trying to prove yourself in the corporate world and how it almost cost her everything. 

Theo originated from Greece and moved over here to Australia in 2013.

Once he moved away from Greece he started on a journey that would change his life forever.

Before this, however, he experienced two, almost life-threatening, incidents that left him with severe PTSD and trauma.

Theo opens up about the extremes of toxic masculinity and what it brought to his life to then going on a journey with Plant Medicine to now support his brothers in his community to help them along the same journey.

To say that this episode is full-on is an understatement.

Brett joins us on the podcast to talk about how a near-death experience while working in the FIFO industry (Fly In Fly Out), took him on a whirlwind of emotional trauma's that ended up with him being institutionalised.

Brett finally received the support that he needed after being turned away by many and chose to use his education to help support others through their own journey's.

It is a mind-blowing conversation and one that should not be missed.

Using the beautiful technology we have in this world we were able to record this episode with Brooke while she was in Sydney.

Brooke is a Relationship Coach and dedicated Yogini, but outside of the beautiful work that she does has a very beautiful and powerful story to share, as well as a very beautiful journey she is now on in helping people find their greatness.

Brooke shares with us her journey following on from being in an abusive relationship with an older guy and how this affected her life for many years.

We talk about some of the challenges of different types of relationships and how it is so important not to lose yourself within the person that you are with.

It was so good to have Joel in the Studio Recording Live!

We had some amazing in-depth chats about relationships, connection to self, the gym, men's work, porn, mental health. You name it, there isn't much we didn't cover in some way shape, or form in this episode.

Joel runs a group called the Evolved Brotherhood. A place where men can learn and grow together to help them become unstuck and feel alive again.

It was a pleasure to Welcome Anastasha into the studio to hear about her beautiful business as well as hearing her story.

Anastasha now resides in Australia, moving over to the tropical state of Queensland from Russia. She runs a very successful coaching business helping people all over the world with emotional wellbeing.

It wasn't always this way for her though. Growing up in Russia was tough suffering assault and abuse. She moved over to Australia and setup an extremely successful business, but through depression and struggles and a life of luxury, left it all behind to really start to understand who she was.

An incredible story from a courageous Woman.

It was beautiful to welcome Max to the podcast in a Cross-Over episode with Naked Reality and The Dad AF Podcast.

We talked all things Dad and shared a lot about our own personal experiences of Fatherhood as well as some of the battles we have had with Mental Health through out life as well as during the first steps into Fatherhood.

Max runs a program called "The Dad As F<3k Project" and does some wonderful things with Dads around the world to help support them through their journeys of being Dadmanship!

Matt Bruce is a Military Veteran, Published Author, Mens Work Coach and one heck of a humble man.

Matt left the Army feeling full of anger and very compressed in his body, which he lived day by day. After realising he was suffering from immense trauma not only from PTSD, but from other areas of his life too, he sought out a different path for himself.

As Matt is a mentor of mine I can't even begin to describe what he does and how he helps Human Beings around the globe, all I can tell you, is that the knowledge he has and is sharing with many has been transformational in the growth and development of many Men and Women alike. A Journey, as your host, has changed my life dramatically.
