ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

What if your body already holds the wisdom to heal you?

What if the chronic symptoms, emotional numbness, or patterns of self-sabotage aren’t signs of dysfunction — but invitations to come home to yourself?

In this powerful episode, Xavier Dagba sits down with Ryan Rose Evans to explore the deep connection between emotional repression, chronic illness, and somatic awakening. From a near prison sentence to finding healing through men's circles, sacred rage, and soul work — Ryan’s story is a visceral reminder that true healing lives in the body, not just the mind.

This episode is for anyone who:

• Feels disconnected from their body, breath, or truth
• Lives in the head and struggles to access presence or feeling
• Is stuck in cycles of burnout, bypassing, or emotional shutdown
• Longs to release stored grief, shame, or rage
• Knows there’s more to healing than talking about it

You’ll walk away with:

• A deeper understanding of how trauma is stored in the body
• How emotional repression can manifest as chronic symptoms
• Why safety is the prerequisite for true transformation
• Somatic practices to reconnect with the body’s wisdom
• Permission to meet the parts of yourself you’ve learned to hide

For men especially, this conversation is a gateway. Into dissolving the armor. Into grieving what you were never allowed to feel. Into reclaiming the sacred rage, sensitivity, and vulnerability that have been exiled by cultural conditioning. Into brotherhood that doesn’t demand you shrink, numb, or perform.

Whether you’re navigating a healing crisis, awakening your nervous system, or finding your voice after years of silence — this episode will stir something true in you.

It’s not just about healing. It’s about remembering how to feel again — and knowing you’re safe to do so.
