A former pastor who once built a church for men finds himself unraveling under the weight of addiction, infidelity, and a faith that no longer holds, and what follows is not a collapse but a return to something truer as Jason Lyle walks through the wilderness of grief, shame, and near self-destruction to rebuild a life rooted in honesty, curiosity, and self-love. In the quiet of the mountains and the discipline of daily practices like breathwork, meditation, and cold exposure, he begins to understand that healing is not about fixing what is broken but about shedding what was never real, reconnecting the mind and body through nervous system regulation, and learning how to create space between impulse and action.
