What does it really mean to come of age? Across cultures, rites of passage once marked the sacred transition into adulthood—guiding young people through challenge, initiation, and community support. But in today’s world, these traditions have been lost, leaving many to seek validation through risk-taking and unhealthy behaviors.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Nicky Wilkes to explore why reviving rites of passage is urgent—especially for young men. We discuss how structured initiation fosters resilience, purpose, and connection, and why now, more than ever, we must reclaim this lost wisdom.

Join us as we uncover the deep impact of mentorship, sacred transitions, and how we can create meaningful initiations for the next generation. It’s time to bring back the rituals that shape strong, grounded, and conscious adults.
