- Episode 110: From Darkness to Inner LuminanceIn this episode, Ryan Hall sits down with Michael Pedrano, the founder of Inner luminance, to explore his incredible journey of transformation and resilience. Michael opens up about his struggles with addiction, the challenges of family dynamics, and his fight for custody of his children after discovering abuse. He discusses the legal battles he faced, the support from his family, and his commitment to personal growth through therapy. Michael also delves into his coaching programs, the importance of overcoming self-sabotage, and the mission of Inner luminance. The conversation highlights the four phases of personal growth, the role of neuroscience in mental health, and the power of storytelling in teaching healing and self-awareness.About Michael:
I am the living example of growing forward from all extremes to inner balance while living into my definitive purpose. My definitive purpose is to elevate humanity through knowledge and understanding. I live by example, in radical self-awareness while guiding others to seek the same for themselves. I unapologetically live in my objective truth. My favorite gifts to give to others are to inspire them to be self-inspired and empower them to be self-empowered.
I am a creator in a life of limitlessness within a universe of infinite possibilities. I am not a coach. I guide others towards their own answers, solutions, and healing by relating through my vulnerable truth. We all have our own perspectives, within those perspectives are our own answers…we just need to be shown where and how to look.
Take a moment to reflect on something incredibly important that often goes unnoticed in our fast-paced lives - our Inner Luminance. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in our responsibilities, routines, and the demands of the external world. We often forget to nurture and cherish the inner light that resides within each of us. This inner luminance is what makes us unique, beautiful, and capable of spreading positivity and love to those around us.
Your Inner Luminance is a powerful force within you, waiting to be acknowledged and shared with the world. As you embrace and nurture it, you'll find that it not only enriches your life but also has a positive ripple effect on those around you.

In this conversation, we speak about the importance of deep connection, removing shame from our pain, and the importance of having coffee in the fridge.
That's a metaphor and you'll need to listen to this conversation and read his book to find out what it means.
This is a powerful conversation and I'm honored to share it with you:

However, I knew I needed to keep exploring that phrase.A couple of years later, I was invited to write a chapter for a book called “Redefining Masculinity” and the calling to explore that “Expanding Man” phrase and concept was only strengthened.I knew I wanted to provide men the space to tell their stories. I knew I wanted to help men tell their stories about expanding what it means to be a man.That’s why “The Expanding Man Chronicles” came to be.We’re seven men from seven walks of life with seven stories about what being a man means to us.
We’re seven men from seven walks of life with seven stories about what being a man means to us.
On a personal note, helping these incredible men find their voices and tell their stories has been a revelation. And the book isn’t bad either.
And it doesn’t hurt to have six new brothers.
Please enjoy this conversation the Expanding Men had about our stories and about the impact this book is having on men, relationships, fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and acceptance of who we are.
Remember, today and every day…this is the day of the Expanding Man.
Oh…and coming Holidays 2024, “The Expanding Man Chronicles”, Vol II.

Your world is rocked, and you have no idea what’s next. What do you do? You can choose to make yourself better and create better circumstances out of terrible situations, or you can let the depression and despair crush your soul.This was the choice my guest, Drew Deraney, faced when life completely took his legs out from under him. Several years ago, Drew found himself at a crossroads. After losing his marriage, his job, his father, and almost losing his own son in less than a year, he made a fateful choice. That choice led him to become an Amazon bestselling author, a podcaster, and a men’s coach and speaker.
Drew has a powerful story of reinvention and redemption, and I’m beyond grateful that he chose to share his story on the Soul-R Powered podcast.
About Drew:Drew Deraney was born in Brooklyn, NY, and raised in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ, where he still lives today, caring for his elderly mother and his three adult children: Matthew, Nicholas, and Emma. Drew earned his B.A. in Psychology, M.A. in Applied Psychology, and two psychology research publications while at Fairfield University. He also received a scholarship from the Healthcare Financial Management Association and earned his M.B.A. in Health Care Administration from Baruch College / Mount Sinai School of Medicine in NY.
In a span of 9 months, Drew experienced a grueling divorce, job loss, his son’s suicidal ideations, and his father’s death, which devastated him emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. It is common for men to view challenges as weaknesses and to hesitate to show emotion or ask for help. While writing his book, Drew realized he wasn’t the only man suffering in silence. With newfound clarity of purpose, he began asking for help.
Drew’s mission is to help men release their inner greatness by embracing vulnerability, maintaining integrity, and making a positive impact on their personal and professional lives.
