UNcivilized UNplugged

There's a lot of talk about masculinity out there. Most of it's noise.In the dark, I discovered a version of masculinity that had nothing to prove, nothing to fight, and nothing to perform. Just strength. Stillness. Surrender. This episode is about how darkness stripped me down to the bones--and what I found underneath.I talk about the power of discipline without ego, devotion without force, and why surrender is one of the most misunderstood strengths a man can possess. If you're tired of performance-based masculinity, this one's a breath of fresh air.Cheers,  Traver

Pain doesn't leave the body until it's been felt.In this episode, I talk about how darkness forced me to feel the stuff I spent years running from--grief, heartbreak, shame. All of it. No therapist. No journal. Just pitch black silence and a willingness to not run.I open up about what happened when I finally let the pain have a voice, and what healing looked like when there was no one around to witness it. This one's about shadow work, emotional truth, and what's possible when you stop trying to fix yourself and just sit with what is.If you've been carrying something heavy for too long, listen to this. If you've ever wondered how healing actually happens--this is where it begins.Cheers,  Traver

Ever sat still long enough to hear yourself think? What about long enough to hear yourself scream?This episode is about the three characters that show up when the world goes quiet--fear, boredom, and madness. I met all three of them in the dark. Some of them became friends. Some... not so much.I get into the games your mind plays when there's no one to distract you, and how facing these voices helped me reclaim parts of myself I didn't even realize I had buried. This is about going beyond self-help into self-reckoning. It's a wild one, and it might just mirror something you've felt but haven't named yet.Cheers,  Traver

We live in a world built on distraction--dopamine loops, constant noise, nonstop input. But what happens when you take it all away?In this one, I share what it felt like to remove every single thing I usually lean on--no Instagram, no podcasts, no books, no light. Just stillness and space. Spoiler alert: it sucked. Then it got profound.This episode isn't just about silence--it's about withdrawal, confrontation, and ultimately transformation. I talk about the chaos that surfaced when I stopped numbing myself and what broke through once I made it through the noise. If you've ever wondered who you are without your coping mechanisms, this one's for you.Cheers,  Traver

If you've ever wanted to run away from your life for a bit--or just hide in a closet with no phone--you're going to get this one.In this episode, I dive into why I chose to sit in total darkness for 28 days... and why I'm going back in for **49**. No phone. No light. No distractions. Just me, my mind, and whatever monsters show up when there's nothing else to hold onto. It wasn't just an escape--it was a full-on confrontation with myself. And in that confrontation, I found answers I didn't even know I was looking for. This episode is a window into the madness, the medicine, and the real reason I think every human needs a version of this. If you've ever felt the need to reset, unplug, or just get real with yourself — this one's for you.Cheers,  Traver

In this episode I'll talk about why so many of us find ourselves in a constant cycle of self betrayal all in the name of fitting in and being loved. OY!We all do it to some degree, but once you see how you betray yourself in the name of keeping and creating connection and belonging, your life will change forever. I'll share with you a single sentence that you can apply to any form of self betrayal so you do just that — see it plane site — and then make the conscious decision to stop living against your value.Alignment isn't easy but it's pure freedom.Please do me a favor and share this episode with one person in your life.Cheers,Traver

In this episode I'll talk about five of the most important factors for you to consider if you're in a breakup or divorce.My writing career kicked off with a book about how to use the pain of your breakup or divorce to transform your life, so this is my bread and butter! Since that book I've worked with thousands of people who are now on the other side of heartbreak and most are living lives they never thought possible.Knowing these are the keys to the kingdom:— You will be okay, you just won't be for a bit— It's okay to not be okay— You won't die, but part of you will and that's a good thing— Pain is fuel (this is a BIG one)— The reasons your breakup happened can lead you to a goldmine.Heartbreak is brutal, but on the other side of it can be a freedom you only dreamed of.Please do me a favor and share this episode with one person in your life.Cheers,TraverInterested in one of Traver's books?

In this episode I'll talk about how and why you need to get past the idea that people who don't live like you do or even want to, are supposed to understand you.If there's one thing that needs to be navigated in order to live a life outside of the box — it's being misunderstood. This comes from family, friends, and of course, perfect strangers who have internet access to you.Learning to work through what's different about you (these are good things) and owning the fact you can't have uncommon or UNcivilized outcomes while being celebrated by folks trapped in the matrix is a big deal.And on the other side of it is freedom.Please do me a favor and share this episode with one person in your life.Cheers,Traver

In this episode you get to peak behind the coaching curtain and watch me work one-on-one with a man who's struggling bringing structure into his life. This is showing up in his challenge around meal planning and workout programming, as well as the deeper issue at hand: — This is a protection mechanism keeping him from getting what he really wants. What does he really want? A deep connection with the men in his life. A deep connection with friends and loved ones. And of course, not take all of the time and energy that he's spending keeping every single option open to him (how exhausting) and use that time and energy to reach a higher purpose.

As the nature of relationship rapidly changes and people begin looking for alternate ways of constructing their relational and sexual lives, teachers like Sophie have been continually sought out. Sophie's creation of the Cosmic Masculine puts both men and women into a relational frame that's both devotional and sacred while allowing infinite space for the down to Earth parts of our being as well. This idea is ahead of its time and will upset many people! Yet those who grasp it will be richly rewarded. I know you'll love this one. Enjoy.

On Sunday July 7th at 9:30 in the morning, my father passed. I was there with my Mom, holding his hand as he took his final breaths. While this is a very private moment to share, there are elements to it that I know will touch you and hopefully inspire you in all of your relationships.

If you're a Nice Guy, or someone with loose boundaries, this episode is for you. In this edition of the UNcivilized Podcast, I have a man from my Kill The Nice Guy community who in a tough spot.  He's in a relationship that he values but his partner has an unreasonable demand — she wants him to check in with her every hour on the hour. We get real here with why he's letting her request keep him stuck, what may be happening on her end with her avoidant behaviors, and how he can navigate showing up with integrity and alignment with her — or leaving a situation that is unsustainable.

Let's be honest — it's challenging to be in relationship these days, and that's because there's so much conflicting information out there. Men are supposed to lead! But only at the magical right time… Men are supposed to be protectors! But that's also toxic… Men are supposed to be emotionally connected to their women! But don't show emotion because that's weakness… In this episode we bring back one of the Top 5 most listened to episodes of the Uncivilized Podcast just for you. GS Youngblood cuts through all the bullshit and teaches men how to actually be in relationship. Enjoy. Please do share this with one person in your life, or twenty.  Cheers, Traver

I believe there are three levels or stages of relationship you can engage in: — Extractive & Transactional — Character & Role Playing — Sacred, Divine, & Uncivilized Each stage also has sexual level associated with it… If you're curious about what's available to you relationally and sexually, this is the episode for you. It's a punch solo where I break down each stage and what you can expect if you're in it. Enjoy.

Today I sit down with renowned men's mental health coach, Elise Michaels for the second time on the pod. Elise is a force in the men's world with over a million followers across her many channels. In this episode we speak into a variety of topics from her work with men, how men can help shift out of rock bottom, and of course — the last two years of Elise's life. She's recently ended an abusive relationship with an ex partner and found herself fully immersed in Christianity. As an interviewer I am as interested in the person behind the mic as I am in their work and know you will walk away from this episode with a ton of knowledge on how to live your life more openly and powerfully.  As well as getting to hear how Elise pulled herself out of hell and found herself walking in her spirituality in an entirely new way. This is a powerful episode and I'm grateful of the openness of my guest. Enjoy.

In this edition of the UNcivilized Podcast, I have a man from my Kill The Nice Guy community who has stepped into a brand new role — he's the step father of two teenage twin boys. He also wants to show up powerfully for himself, his fiancé, and the boys in the family.  We talk about how his Nice Guy patterns are holding him back and keeping him from fully engaging with both his woman, and her kids. And we give him some concrete steps on how to be more powerful while also staying out of the dictatorial role and in the relational role. Enjoy.
