What if the “success” you built was actually the thing keeping you from yourself?
In this episode, I sit down with John Trapp, CEO, Leadership Coach, Longship Men Co-Founder &Facilitator – for an honest conversation about identity, reinvention, and returning to who you really are beneath it all.
John shares his own hero’s journey—from growing a multimillion-dollar business and checking all the boxes of “success,” to experiencing anxiety, burnout, and the unraveling that led him into meditation, sobriety, and deep inner work.
We talk about why men need safe spaces for vulnerability, what true leadership looks like, and how we stop outsourcing our worth and start living in alignment with our inner wisdom.
In this episode, we cover:
- The call to break away from family expectations and forge his own path
- The truth behind hitting financial success and still feeling empty
- What anxiety tells us about about misalignment and disconnection
- The journey into sobriety
- The power of meditation and healing through community
- Why men need safe containers for emotional expression
- What it really means to come home to yourself and serve from wholeness
