Embarking on a journey of self-discovery can be daunting, yet it's critical for growth. I had the privilege of sitting down with Justin McCarthy founder of New Found Awakening-Holistic Healing  Opus Approach, whose life story is a testament to this truth. We traverse his path from military service to embracing Eastern philosophies, touching on mindfulness and the transformative power of authenticity. Our discussion isn't just about personal evolution; it challenges the very essence of masculinity, urging men to redefine strength through vulnerability and emotional openness.

Healing is not a solo endeavor, and this conversation underscores the collective effort required to guide men towards purpose and self-worth. We dissect societal pressures and the need for validation in a world that often misunderstands the male struggle. Sharing tales from both my guest and my own experiences, including a transformative trip to Peru, we shine a light on the profound effects of support networks, self-reflection, and embracing every step in the healing process.

Wrapping up, we celebrate the emotional progress achieved by men who dare to peel back their armor. The connection fostered in this episode is one that calls for a wider audience and continued dialogue, which is why anticipation bubbles for the release of part two. Justin's story and our exchange highlight the enduring strength of being in touch with one's emotions and the ripple of change it can inspire. This is not just a podcast; it's a movement redefining the very fabric of manhood.

Guest Speaker: Justin McCarthy first encounter to the gap between thought and feeling was through asana yoga practice. Here is where he also started his practice of breathwork and meditation. His favorite pose to be in stillness during meditation is shavasana (corpse pose). Justin is a true explorer and on one of his many adventures after ending a three year marriage he started to explore the healing purposes and benefits of plant medicine. Here is when he started to answer the question "What does it mean to be a man today?" He started to become connected with his masculinity in a more profound and healthy way. This is when Justin recognized the value of Men's Work in being able to walk in true brotherhood to a happier and healthier life.  He is now a Kambo practitio
