EP31: From Numb to Noble: Reclaiming Fire After the Fall feat. Ryan Rockwell
Manage episode 488450372 series 3551228
Welcome to another episode of The Uncommon Man Project — the space where men stop performing and start remembering who they really are.
This isn’t about hacks or hustle. It’s about grit, integrity, and the long road back to wholeness when everything collapses.
Because for the high-achieving man, it’s not success that breaks you — it’s the disconnection from your soul on the way there.
Today’s episode is for the man who’s hit his limit. Who’s burnt out, numbed out, or on the brink of walking away.
This is the episode you come back to when you’re out of answers but still feel the flicker of fire inside you.
GUEST - Ryan Rockwell
Ryan Rockwell is a man who’s walked through the fire.
As the founder of Modern Yoga Teacher and Modern Healer, Ryan built one of the most respected platforms in the wellness industry. His business exploded. His lifestyle looked like a dream. He became the go-to success story for countless coaches and conscious entrepreneurs.
But behind the accolades was a man unraveling.
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Ryan shares how burnout brought him to the edge of life itself, how performance masked pain, and how reclaiming his masculine truth meant letting go of the illusion of “enough.”
He’s now rebuilding from a place of alignment, launching Burnout Alchemy, and devoting his life to helping men transmute burnout into purpose.
