Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora. And I'm very excited to

Unknown:

have Ryan, Matthew with me today. He is a healer, a healer

Unknown:

of some sort, like I follow him on Facebook, I read his posts,

Unknown:

and he's not the kind of healer who's going to pamper you who's

Unknown:

going to make you feel good all the time. He's the kind of

Unknown:

healer who shakes you and wakes you up and makes you aware of

Unknown:

your bs that you're living and wants you to break free from

Unknown:

victim mentality and playing small. He is a hell of a person,

Unknown:

I can tell already, we only had a 15 minute talk here last week.

Unknown:

But I'm very excited to be collaborating with Ryan, and to

Unknown:

have a conversation today a conversation about masculine,

Unknown:

feminine, about being a complex human being, and not only one

Unknown:

sided, and narrow minded. Welcome to the show, Ryan,

Unknown:

Matthew, thank you so much for making the time. And thank you

Unknown:

so much for inviting us a little bit into your world, and how you

Unknown:

approach healing, and all the content you put out there, we

Unknown:

want to know everything about you.

Unknown:

Well, thank you for that awesome introduction, that was

Unknown:

incredible. I really appreciate the work that you're doing as

Unknown:

well. And I love what we're able to do as humans and how dynamic

Unknown:

we can be and all the very different ways we can help each

Unknown:

other heal. And I love what you said about me not being able, or

Unknown:

me not being afraid of pointing out the Bs, I think there's a

Unknown:

way to do that sometimes you kind of have to circle around it

Unknown:

a little bit and create some awareness and allow the person

Unknown:

to see it themselves. And sometimes I think it's

Unknown:

beneficial to, you know, speak to it very directly. And I think

Unknown:

that's kind of what you want to talk about today is that, that

Unknown:

balance of things like we're not I'm not just going to go at

Unknown:

everything very direct very hard all the time, it's about

Unknown:

creating an awareness of the situation, seeing what the

Unknown:

situation needs, and then responding appropriately, you

Unknown:

know, so I love that. So some of the some of the things that are

Unknown:

going on in my life right now. So I install currently install

Unknown:

lightning protection systems on commercial buildings,

Unknown:

skyscrapers, things like that, across the northeast of the

Unknown:

United States. I am writing a chapter for a book called The

Unknown:

Divine union. It's wisdom from leaders who honor the divine

Unknown:

masculine and feminine. I have a music project called full shine,

Unknown:

it's fo l shine because we're just a couple fools but we're

Unknown:

still shining, we're having fun. And and then I'm also a couple

Unknown:

months away from getting my coaching certification from

Unknown:

AIPAC, which is the Institute for professional excellence in

Unknown:

coaching. And I'll be starting that business at some point as

Unknown:

well. And it's really all all of it is really centered on

Unknown:

creating space for people supporting people while they do

Unknown:

their own healing, you know, I i'm not i don't think that I'm

Unknown:

better than anyone or above anyone or I need to help anyone.

Unknown:

Everybody needs to help themselves, right? And so that's

Unknown:

what it's about is creating a safe container where people feel

Unknown:

like they can do that without fear. Without you know, well

Unknown:

just the fear in general but fear of judgments fear,

Unknown:

criticisms, fear of other people's fear. And so I feel

Unknown:

like you know, my mission right now is to help create that

Unknown:

space. stand firmly in the middle, create unity. And you

Unknown:

know, stand for truth stand first back stand for

Unknown:

sovereignty.

Unknown:

Hmm, this is sweet music in my ears. And I love Yeah, like I

Unknown:

said earlier, how complex you approach living and how you

Unknown:

approach healing from all different kinds of angles like

Unknown:

music is so healing and creating a safe space is so healing and

Unknown:

then receiving advice from you as healing but also having the

Unknown:

space to realize on like at your own time, where you want to heal

Unknown:

and grow. And I feel one thing that we really have in common

Unknown:

too is that we notice the gap between the feminine and the

Unknown:

masculine and how we want to unite again And how was it? on

Unknown:

your journey? my listeners know quite well, why I'm doing what

Unknown:

I'm doing. But how, what was it for you like, what did you have

Unknown:

to go through in order to want to heal this in society?

Unknown:

Well, I had to go through it in myself first, right? So

Unknown:

everything that every every issue that we see in the world

Unknown:

today is inside of us somewhere. And I realized when I went

Unknown:

through my divorce, that my part of the divorce and my

Unknown:

relationship ending was that I didn't have a healthy

Unknown:

relationship with my own feminine energy. I could not

Unknown:

hold space for my ex wife, when she was in turmoil, when she was

Unknown:

going through something emotionally, I couldn't hold

Unknown:

space for her, because I couldn't hold space for myself.

Unknown:

And so ultimately, what we're talking about is the divine,

Unknown:

like the divine union that we're talking about that needs to

Unknown:

happen in society, so that society can come together, and

Unknown:

its wholeness as a collective needs to happen in us first,

Unknown:

we're not going to be able to unite anyone if we're divided

Unknown:

within ourselves, right. And so that's really why I'm so

Unknown:

passionate about people taking responsibility is because I know

Unknown:

that I, I can't change anybody, the only thing I can do is

Unknown:

change myself. And when I do so, so over the last three years,

Unknown:

there's been a ton of stuff, and we can dive into it more, I'm

Unknown:

sure. But over the last three years, my world, what I see in

Unknown:

the world has changed completely. I mean, I am a

Unknown:

totally different person than I was today. And so the world

Unknown:

around me looks completely different. Because we see the

Unknown:

world as we are not as you know, what we believe the world to be

Unknown:

so. So it really just starts by, you know, one thing that was so

Unknown:

powerful for me was, I think it was Byron, Katie, she said

Unknown:

something like, whenever I judge someone else, I turn it back on

Unknown:

myself. And so if I'm criticizing someone else, I say,

Unknown:

do I do that? Like ever? Do I ever do when I'm criticizing

Unknown:

this person for maybe not in this very particular situation

Unknown:

that I'm witnessing in front of me right now. But, you know, say

Unknown:

somebody is being very selfish. And you're saying, am I ever

Unknown:

selfish? And if you really look at it, and you are really honest

Unknown:

with yourself, everybody's selfish at some point, right?

Unknown:

And so it creates this space of like, I'm selfish. Why am I

Unknown:

selfish? So maybe why is that person being selfish in this

Unknown:

moment, it allows you to have empathy for people, you know,

Unknown:

when you're able to put it back on yourself, and you say, you

Unknown:

know, okay, everything that I'm experiencing, right, or

Unknown:

everything they're experiencing right now, I also experience

Unknown:

Well, now you just realize that we're all the same, we're all

Unknown:

dealing with the same stuff. The problem is, is that we don't

Unknown:

admit it to ourselves, you know, we, and we stay in our shadow

Unknown:

about it. And and when we don't admit things to ourself, there's

Unknown:

I mean, that's the gateway to everything right? That they say

Unknown:

that with addiction. First, you have to admit that you're

Unknown:

addicted to something. It's the same thing, like healing our

Unknown:

traumas and saying, you know, okay, I have an abandonment

Unknown:

wound. How do I address this, if you if you're not admitting that

Unknown:

you have an abandonment wound, and I have had one, believe me,

Unknown:

I probably still do and still buried in there somewhere. But

Unknown:

if you're not admitting that to yourself, you can never really

Unknown:

start to work on it, because you're just in denial. And so

Unknown:

I'm very passionate about every individual taking responsibility

Unknown:

for themselves so that we as a collective can take

Unknown:

responsibility together. And that, you know, if that happens,

Unknown:

if every person takes responsibility, and we come

Unknown:

together as a united collective, there is no limit to what we

Unknown:

could do to change this world. You know,

Unknown:

yes, yes. Oh, this makes so much sense. And what I'm learning

Unknown:

while I'm listening to you right now is that when we are in

Unknown:

denial of our shadows, it also gives us a false sense of power,

Unknown:

right? We look at the other person and say he or she is

Unknown:

being selfish, because I'm never selfish that she is being

Unknown:

selfish and now I'm gonna make her feel bad about it. I will

Unknown:

guilt trip, I will punish. And all we're doing is punishing

Unknown:

ourselves but we think we're doing it to the other person,

Unknown:

and not knowing that we're poisoning our own environment

Unknown:

like our head, our body Everything in in not seeing

Unknown:

where we still can grow. And it's it's really tough. You

Unknown:

know, like, you can probably agree that when you start

Unknown:

started out on this journey, you were like holy shit, like I was

Unknown:

responsible for all this all the time and I blamed it on somebody

Unknown:

else, oh, I'm such a horrible person like that Not drift into

Unknown:

self hate and regret and, and you know to numb this out with

Unknown:

alcohol or drugs now like it's it's such a courageous path to

Unknown:

be on and people have to know that waking up and realizing

Unknown:

things is not always nice it's tough but it is so worth to walk

Unknown:

that path and to be lonely for a certain time. How about

Unknown:

loneliness? Do you feel loneliness at times when you

Unknown:

when you started out on that path? Or still to this day, and

Unknown:

the importance of alone time and allowing to feel lonely?

Unknown:

Yeah, so I can't say I really experienced loneliness any more.

Unknown:

But I definitely did when I started this, when basically

Unknown:

when I cracked open and when I decided that I didn't know

Unknown:

everything. And I was willing to learn from other people who had

Unknown:

more experience than me who had done more work than me. And put

Unknown:

put aside my dogmatic thinking, you know, because I think we all

Unknown:

kind of get conditioned by the world. And then we're like,

Unknown:

Okay, this is how the world is, I'm right, everybody else is

Unknown:

wrong, right? This is an unhealthy growing of the ego.

Unknown:

And so then we have all these unhealthy egos, which are really

Unknown:

just a bunch of hurt children running around hurting

Unknown:

everybody. And, and so when I put that aside, and I said, You

Unknown:

know what? I am one person out of what, 7.8 billion people on

Unknown:

the planet right now, how arrogant is it of me to think

Unknown:

that I have it all figured out, and that everybody else is

Unknown:

wrong. And there is a wealth of knowledge in every single

Unknown:

person, right? We all go through life so differently, we've all

Unknown:

been brought up through so many different experiences and

Unknown:

cultures and all this stuff. And so when we allow ourselves to be

Unknown:

open to different ideas, different perceptions, different

Unknown:

ways of doing things. It's not saying that everybody else has

Unknown:

it figured out either. So there's a matter of trust that

Unknown:

needs to be built between your own intuition and yourself. But

Unknown:

when we allow ourselves to be open, you know, I went to some

Unknown:

retreats, I hired a coach, I invested in myself, right, I

Unknown:

spent a lot of money on this. So over the last three years, but

Unknown:

ultimately, it was because I was so miserable, with thinking that

Unknown:

I was right, and everybody was wrong. That's where the real

Unknown:

loneliness came in was I had separated myself from everyone,

Unknown:

because my ego was like, No, this is the right way. Right?

Unknown:

And, and it was so lonely there. And, and basically, all that I

Unknown:

had was were superficial attachments to people that

Unknown:

really had no depth at all. And so when I allowed myself to open

Unknown:

up and start to connect with different people, and a lot of

Unknown:

amazing, unconditionally loving people held so much beautiful

Unknown:

space for me, and allowed me to play around with childlike

Unknown:

innocence in all these new realms of things that I was

Unknown:

exploring. And they were like, yeah, you're doing great, and I

Unknown:

was like, a freaking mess, you know, but they weren't judging

Unknown:

me. And that was so important. And so you feel that from

Unknown:

certain people. And, and that just helped me to keep going,

Unknown:

you know, and then these people, you know, as you start to shift

Unknown:

out of this dogmatic way of thinking, right, you're

Unknown:

separating from other people that may agree with you. And

Unknown:

they're very firm in their beliefs, and they're very stuck

Unknown:

in their dogma, you start breaking away from those people,

Unknown:

and that scares them. And so they kind of try to like claw

Unknown:

back at you. And then you learn to set healthy boundaries for

Unknown:

yourself, and like, no, my time and energy is worth it, and I

Unknown:

deserve to be respected. And so you start to set healthy

Unknown:

boundaries, you start to see people fall away when you do

Unknown:

that. And so there was a period of loneliness, you know, before

Unknown:

I started this work, and then and that was the worst of it.

Unknown:

And then also after I got into it, because people from what I

Unknown:

call my old life, because it's so foreign to me now people from

Unknown:

my old life started to fall away. And there was a time where

Unknown:

there really wasn't a whole lot of people on the other side that

Unknown:

were in my life, and so for Little while I felt very

Unknown:

unsupported. I felt like the support that was coming my way

Unknown:

was just another form of dogma. And they were like, We love and

Unknown:

support you. But, you know, you basically have to believe what

Unknown:

we believe, which was basically what I came from right. And so,

Unknown:

but then, through the work, and through speaking my truth and

Unknown:

sharing my story, you start to

Unknown:

people that resonate with that start to come into your life.

Unknown:

And I have two, dear, dear friends that came into my life.

Unknown:

And I haven't even met them in person yet, which is the funny

Unknown:

part, we met over zoom, we still communicate over zoom and over

Unknown:

the phone, but I consider them to be two of my best friends.

Unknown:

They're just unconditionally loving, non judgmental. We

Unknown:

challenge each other all the time, we don't have

Unknown:

conversations about superficial stuff. I mean, it's all deep, I

Unknown:

get on the phone with my buddy, Jim. And it's like, Hey, man,

Unknown:

how you doing? And he's like, I'm good. I feel like what's

Unknown:

going on in the world right now. I mean, we just jumped right in

Unknown:

some really deep topic. And so those are the relationships

Unknown:

where when you're accessing a depth in your communication with

Unknown:

each other, and the conversations that you're having

Unknown:

the conversations that we're having right now, that is like,

Unknown:

that's where we actually all want to be, I feel like is that

Unknown:

depth, like, we are so dynamic as human beings, and we've lost

Unknown:

that. And so you start to feel that again, and it is like, the

Unknown:

warmest sensation out there. And, and what there is a period

Unknown:

of loneliness that I feel like is inevitable, and anybody that

Unknown:

I've talked to, that's done this work will say the same thing.

Unknown:

Loneliness is part of it. And I've had to face that wound of

Unknown:

not wanting to be alone, you know, because, because I had to,

Unknown:

I had to be alone for a little while. And and, you know, I

Unknown:

would go back to the people from my old life, seeking their

Unknown:

approval, things like that, because I didn't want to be

Unknown:

alone. And then I eventually had to be honest with myself about

Unknown:

that, too, and say, why am I seeking approval from people

Unknown:

that I've really don't agree with in any capacity anymore? I

Unknown:

love them. And you know, I cherish their freedom to think

Unknown:

what they think but it really doesn't resonate with me

Unknown:

anymore. Why am I still seeking their approval? Well, because I

Unknown:

didn't want to be alone. And so that was a wound that I had to

Unknown:

heal, and now I'll be alone all the time. And I still don't feel

Unknown:

lonely, I still feel so connected to everything. I mean,

Unknown:

I just spent four days and four nights out in the woods with no

Unknown:

food and no water and Native American ceremony. And I felt

Unknown:

more connected to life than I've ever felt before. And so you

Unknown:

know, but that all comes from healing those wounds But anyway,

Unknown:

I'm kind of getting off on a rant here or a tangent there

Unknown:

there is loneliness that has to be faced and I have absolutely

Unknown:

faced that for sure.

Unknown:

Yeah, yeah. Wow, that is so beautiful. Like especially when

Unknown:

you talk about your last four days It sounds like you are able

Unknown:

to source love and energy from nature and from the good people

Unknown:

that are around you and food is our primary like thing to

Unknown:

restore our energy but for some reason you you manage to tap in

Unknown:

a different into a different like, I don't know dimension How

Unknown:

do you call this? Where you were you fill your your energy tank

Unknown:

off? Or in with with nature is that Did I get that right? No

Unknown:

water and no food for four days?

Unknown:

Yeah, so so the ceremony is four days and four nights long. I

Unknown:

came down after three days and three nights, because I felt

Unknown:

called to come down off the hill. But yeah, no food, water

Unknown:

for four days, four nights, you're sitting in a little six

Unknown:

foot by eight foot rectangle. And, you know, part of what I

Unknown:

experienced out there was you know, I'm looking at all these

Unknown:

ants crawling on the ground around me, you know, I don't

Unknown:

have a bed or anything, you're just sleeping on the ground and.

Unknown:

And I'm looking at all these ants. And these birds up in the

Unknown:

trees and all these little creatures, right? And I'm

Unknown:

watching these ants just go back and forth between wherever they

Unknown:

were coming from back to their home, with these little twigs in

Unknown:

their mouth, or leaves in their mouth or, you know, another dead

Unknown:

end in their mouth or whatever. And I'm like, these ants are

Unknown:

just like me, they're fulfilling their purpose. They're just

Unknown:

doing their thing. They're surviving. They're building a

Unknown:

home, they're eating. I was like, and they have everything

Unknown:

they need, right on the ground right in front of them, the

Unknown:

leaves, the twigs, whatever they need for their home. It's right

Unknown:

there and there's a huge colony of ants. That's thriving.

Unknown:

Underground somewhere, I don't know where they're home,

Unknown:

actually. But, you know, and so I realized that the same is for

Unknown:

us. And something that was in the Bible came back to me. I

Unknown:

think Jesus said, you know, it's the birds of the trees and the

Unknown:

insects of the forests. You know, the smallest creatures

Unknown:

that are in existence are important enough to God to have

Unknown:

their needs met, what makes you think your needs aren't going to

Unknown:

be met. And that came back to me in a different way after this

Unknown:

experience of, if I'm doing what I feel like I'm supposed to be

Unknown:

doing healing myself, supporting others, while they do their own

Unknown:

healing, living into the purpose of why I feel like I'm here, all

Unknown:

my needs will always be met. And so I got an immense amount of

Unknown:

peace after that experience of, Okay, I'm on my path, I'm not

Unknown:

worried about anything. And I mean, I've just been in a flow

Unknown:

state for, you know, a couple months now. But it's, it really

Unknown:

is very powerful. And so when we can see that, you know, a big

Unknown:

problem in our society today is people are not living their

Unknown:

purpose, people are feeling unfulfilled, they're feeling

Unknown:

like their lives don't matter. And that comes from a place

Unknown:

inside of not feeling whole, not feeling loved, not feeling

Unknown:

important for like, they're, they have anything to

Unknown:

contribute. And all that stems from, you know, the way we were

Unknown:

raised our conditioning, all that stuff, and so, but when we

Unknown:

do this work, and we heal inside and we become whole, we live

Unknown:

life so much lighter, it's it's like, you just go through life,

Unknown:

knowing that everything is going to be provided for you. Even

Unknown:

even the bad, you know, what we would judge as bad experiences,

Unknown:

right? Even that is for us. I mean, I broke my ankle. This is

Unknown:

this is kind of one of the catalystic events that happened

Unknown:

for me recently is I broke my ankle at work. And it was like

Unknown:

the dumbest thing like I was just like, stepping over this

Unknown:

little fence, and my foot got caught and I snapped my ankle.

Unknown:

And, you know, for about 15 minutes, I was laying on the

Unknown:

ground in agonizing pain, causing way more pain on top of

Unknown:

it by thinking about Oh shit, how am I going to pay my bills,

Unknown:

I know this is gonna put me out of work for a few months, all

Unknown:

these other anxieties came in and layered on top. And then I

Unknown:

remembered what Dr. David Hawkins said in his book, one of

Unknown:

his books, he has a lot that I read. But one of his books, he

Unknown:

said, when you focus when you bring all your attention to the

Unknown:

pain, it eventually runs out. And so I did that with my ankle,

Unknown:

and the pain ran out after about 10 or 15 minutes, and I was able

Unknown:

to get to a place of peace where I said, Okay, what opportunities

Unknown:

are going to be opened up because of this. And my boss

Unknown:

called me like five or 10 minutes later and was like, Hey,

Unknown:

we don't want to put this through workman's comp. I just

Unknown:

want to pay you your full salary. And we'll cover all your

Unknown:

medical bills for however long that you're out. And I was like,

Unknown:

okay, that's amazing. So there goes, all my needs being

Unknown:

provided for right. What I didn't know at the time was that

Unknown:

was going to lead into

Unknown:

the darkest, darkest depths of my shadow that I could have ever

Unknown:

experienced. I mean, I worked full time, you know, 6070 hours

Unknown:

a week, I was going through coaching school, I was building

Unknown:

an HR program for the company that I work for now, before I

Unknown:

broke my ankle. And so I went from doing things 90 hours a

Unknown:

week to sitting on my couch or the leg cast on not really being

Unknown:

able to to anything, and I was in a very toxic relationship at

Unknown:

the time. That relationship ended up ending. I fell down my

Unknown:

stairs on my crutches, I broke my leg cast, I put a giant hole

Unknown:

in the wall at the bottom of my staircase. And, and that was

Unknown:

when that was when I broke open. So I'd cracked open before that

Unknown:

right I started introducing these things and try on new

Unknown:

concepts and learning. That was when I had the biggest release

Unknown:

of energy out of my body that I've ever had grief rage. I

Unknown:

mean, I sat at the bottom of my stairs and I cried for hours and

Unknown:

later that week, I raged for hours in my living room, I

Unknown:

screaming at the top of my lungs, flailing my arms, I

Unknown:

probably looked like a lunatic. If you had walked in on me, you

Unknown:

would have wanted to run the hell out of there. But that it

Unknown:

was all that stuff that was locked up in my emotional body.

Unknown:

And it wasn't just from my ankle. It wasn't just from

Unknown:

falling down the stairs. It wasn't just from my relationship

Unknown:

ending. It was those old wounds those generational patterns

Unknown:

conditioning of my life and the lives of my parents and their

Unknown:

parents that was coming through and so it was so much pain you

Unknown:

know you cry when a relationship ends it's hard this was so

Unknown:

different for me it was like I was crying because of all the

Unknown:

relationships my mom went through that ended that caused

Unknown:

her to be in such pain that she couldn't show up the way that

Unknown:

she was supposed to show up for us when she was raising us as

Unknown:

children's and so it led to this whole other cycle of pain for me

Unknown:

that I had to work through and then I became angry at the world

Unknown:

you know, I think we're all angry at the world to a certain

Unknown:

degree because of our conditioning but I had gone into

Unknown:

that rage I went in there with all of my attention and I and

Unknown:

that's what made me so passionate about doing this work

Unknown:

and becoming a healer and supporting people while they do

Unknown:

their healing is because all that pain that I felt in that

Unknown:

moment at the bottom of my staircase when I was raging on

Unknown:

my couch in my living room all of that stemmed from other

Unknown:

people not doing their work and hurting everybody else because

Unknown:

of it and and I'm not angry at those people at all I'm not

Unknown:

saying that but what I am saying is that when we do our work we

Unknown:

we can cure generational curses we can you know you can call

Unknown:

them whatever you want but there's a timeline things that

Unknown:

happened right and and you know, my mother was very hurt by her

Unknown:

mother I was very hurt by my mother and if I don't address

Unknown:

that I'm going to hurt my children as well when I go into

Unknown:

those wounds and I release that rage and that grief First of

Unknown:

all, I mean my body feels better than it ever has because all

Unknown:

that junk is out of there but second of all I'm able to look

Unknown:

at people with compassion and say wow, she is really treating

Unknown:

her child like crap right now and I feel so sorry for her

Unknown:

instead of getting angry again stepping in you know I mean

Unknown:

sometimes you have to step in if there's abuse but you know being

Unknown:

angry judging that person now you're just adding to the pain

Unknown:

that they're putting out into the world instead of having

Unknown:

compassion for somebody and so we're able to get into that

Unknown:

compassionate place that heart centered empathetic place when

Unknown:

we look at the wounds that we have in our own lives and and

Unknown:

were able to heal stuff that would have just continued

Unknown:

forever right like another little child as a 30 year old

Unknown:

man hurting somebody else because he hasn't dealt with his

Unknown:

stuff and I feel like I again I kind of went on a tangent here I

Unknown:

don't even remember what your original question was but I'm

Unknown:

not sure if it matters

Unknown:

so that's that's what made me so passionate about doing this

Unknown:

healing was going into those dark dark places and then seeing

Unknown:

what life looks like on the other side walking a little tall

Unknown:

you know feeling a little lighter feeling like I can hold

Unknown:

so much more and I don't feel like a victim and I don't feel

Unknown:

like you know the world is out to get me or against me I feel

Unknown:

like everything in the world is happening for me and I've been

Unknown:

shown that so many times in my life that and I want everybody

Unknown:

to feel that you know even the bat even a broken ankles even

Unknown:

the ended relationships even the holes in your drywall you know

Unknown:

it's all happening for us and yeah that's why I'm here is help

Unknown:

people find that you know,

Unknown:

oh man that's so powerful and I listened to you and then I

Unknown:

started thinking now like how can I because I feel that build

Unknown:

up inside of me I can feel the pain from my mom and my grandpa

Unknown:

and my dad and grandma. I feel I want to explode and get rid of

Unknown:

all that pain but how can I do it without breaking my ankle?

Unknown:

That's my question right now. Well I need to roll my ankle

Unknown:

class but but yeah, you describe it so vividly and I can see it

Unknown:

you're breaking a vicious cycles. So to say an emotional,

Unknown:

vicious cycle and you were able to break out because you choose

Unknown:

to not see yourself as a victim. You choose to see this as an

Unknown:

opportunity to create your own sense of masculinity and

Unknown:

femininity and I'm so excited right now you can see it all on

Unknown:

the wire. Love it. And I want to ask you like the time is

Unknown:

running, but I feel we need to meet up again. I want to ask

Unknown:

you, you went through all this and you were able to release

Unknown:

this pain years. sense of masculinity must have changed

Unknown:

like when you look at yourself when you first got engaged or or

Unknown:

married your your ex wife and now you look at at Ryan today

Unknown:

like the shift that you have done and and how would you

Unknown:

describe that feeling and how do you observe the interaction with

Unknown:

women like how it changed from back then to now How has your

Unknown:

relation changed with women ever since?

Unknown:

Yeah so back then I was very emasculated. I don't even know

Unknown:

if I want to call myself masculine at that point,

Unknown:

masculine shadow for sure. But it was very, I was very much a

Unknown:

people pleaser, I've always been a good provider. I've you know,

Unknown:

financially, security, things like that, that's always come

Unknown:

naturally to me. But as far as being able to hold space for

Unknown:

women, I was terrible at that, because I couldn't manage my own

Unknown:

emotions, right. And, and I was very much a people pleaser, like

Unknown:

I said, I had an abandonment wound, I didn't want people to

Unknown:

leave, I became a doormat, in certain situations, where women

Unknown:

just kind of walked all over me, I was very irritated, very angry

Unknown:

all the time, there was a subtle layer of frustration that I

Unknown:

lived with for so long before that, before all this stuff

Unknown:

happened. And, you know, it would it would come to a head

Unknown:

very often and you know, I'd be working on you know, I had a

Unknown:

landscaping business for a while I'd be working on a lawn mower

Unknown:

or something, and I something wouldn't go my way. And I

Unknown:

chucked my wrench across the wall, you know, we see this all

Unknown:

the time with men, they're just throwing things. I mean, this

Unknown:

was me, you know, this was me. And, and that anger, I mean, oh,

Unknown:

you're just angry at everything. And, and there are plenty of

Unknown:

things that that kind of, we need to be angry about in the in

Unknown:

the world today. But that subtle layer of anger was really just

Unknown:

covering up all the hurt that was inside of me from my mother

Unknown:

controlling me when I was younger, for my parents, not

Unknown:

accepting me for who I was, and trying to get me to fit into

Unknown:

this box of who they thought I should be. And, you know, always

Unknown:

saying, oh, Ryan, that's so great. But you could do it

Unknown:

better this way next time or something, you know, and that

Unknown:

really develops this whole thing of, well, I'm not good enough.

Unknown:

Because I, it's great, but it could be better, right? And so

Unknown:

when I work through all that stuff, it's, you know, when you

Unknown:

think you're not good enough, you have no confidence, who the

Unknown:

hell would when they're thinking that. And when I realized that I

Unknown:

was enough, just as I am, and every flaw and positive thing

Unknown:

all thrown in there I am everything right? I'm still

Unknown:

insecure, I still work through wounds every day. And so I'm not

Unknown:

going to deny that. And I think that's the key is your own in

Unknown:

your shit. You're just saying, like, yeah, it wasn't really

Unknown:

fair that my parents did that for me. But it happened to me.

Unknown:

And it's my responsibility to deal with it now. And so I have

Unknown:

this very strong sense of confidence, knowing that I'm

Unknown:

strong enough to deal with that stuff now. And I'm definitely

Unknown:

not a doormat anymore. And I very much hold space for women.

Unknown:

And they feel that there's many women that reach out to me and

Unknown:

tell me their stories. Because they can feel that my energy is

Unknown:

pure, and that I don't want anything from them. I don't need

Unknown:

anything from them, I stand true. And myself, I have a good

Unknown:

balance in my own psyche, my own body of my masculine and

Unknown:

feminine polarities, and they are married inside of me. And

Unknown:

that's the thing is, we need to marry our own polarities inside

Unknown:

ourselves before we can ever marry with a divine feminine

Unknown:

woman, you know, who stands in her power, a man who isn't

Unknown:

married within himself is never gonna be able to maintain a

Unknown:

marriage with a woman who is firm and herself, he'll be

Unknown:

insecure as hell the whole time. Because he knows that

Unknown:

something's off. And so I'm very confident in myself now. And,

Unknown:

and women feel that and, and so it's a power that can very

Unknown:

easily be abused. And I'm aware of that. And I'm very keen to

Unknown:

recognize that it is a responsibility to live here, and

Unknown:

to hold space for women so that they, I mean, and I'll just be

Unknown:

honest, without women, I wouldn't be here right now,

Unknown:

standing in this energy embodying what I embody. I mean,

Unknown:

it is the women in my life that were hold within themselves that

Unknown:

nurtured everything that I was going through, you know, I

Unknown:

called my friend Sarah, at two o'clock in the morning when I

Unknown:

was needed to rage in my living room and she told me, Ryan, you

Unknown:

have to get yourself a rational let yourself feel your body it's

Unknown:

not your you know, get out of your head, you're not going to

Unknown:

rationalize any of this, just scream, just let yourself do it.

Unknown:

And without her support, I wouldn't have felt, you know,

Unknown:

work through that rage. And so

Unknown:

I forget where I was going with this. But yeah, I mean, the

Unknown:

marriage inside comes first. And then when you unite with other

Unknown:

divine masculine men, divine women, and you respect each

Unknown:

other sovereignty, I mean, it is just a beautiful, beautiful

Unknown:

place to live. It's it's harmonious. It is respectful is

Unknown:

love in the deepest form. And it's, it's magic, really. And

Unknown:

that's the difference between where I was before, and where I

Unknown:

was today, no magic, absolute magic, absolute passion, love

Unknown:

for life, love for everything, every experience, that's that's

Unknown:

a difference.

Unknown:

Oh, my goodness, that's, I love when you say like, the masculine

Unknown:

and feminine has to get married inside of you first. Because

Unknown:

otherwise, in the outside world, we see separation, and we act

Unknown:

separately from each other. And so deeply inspiring. Like, I

Unknown:

love the words that you use, and I love to really picture your

Unknown:

pain and everything you've gone through to see you now happy and

Unknown:

and, like, resolved so to say and standing your truth standing

Unknown:

Unknown:
