Finding Your Purpose   What if the path to wealth, happiness, and fulfillment isn't in doing more — but in feeling more? In this powerful episode of Richer Soul, Nate Ewert joins Rocky to share how he helps men break free from unconscious survival patterns and step into lives of true purpose and alignment. Through his work with Igniter Men's Group and Somatic Synergies, Nate bridges ancient wisdom, neuroscience, and trauma-informed healing practices to guide transformation from the inside out. Whether you're feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or you're seeking deeper emotional freedom and clarity in life, this episode reveals the subtle, yet profound shifts that unlock authentic success — not just externally, but within.   Key Takeaways:  Healing Isn't a Luxury — It's Foundational. Nate emphasizes that unresolved trauma impacts your nervous system, your decisions, your relationships, and even how you handle money. Real transformation begins by learning to feel safe in your body. Masculinity Needs a Redefinition. Men are often conditioned to suppress emotion and “man up,” but Nate shows how true strength lies in vulnerability, community, and nervous system regulation. You Don't Need to Be Broken to Grow. Many of Nate's clients come to him not because they're falling apart, but because they know there's more. More purpose. More depth. More alignment. And they're ready to go deeper. Somatic Work Is the Missing Link. Talk therapy often stays in the head. Somatic healing helps release stored trauma and energy from the body — the place where transformation really begins.   Money Learnings: Nate's early money story was shaped by scarcity and survival. He shares how financial lessons were limited to rules like "save 10%," but these didn't help when fear and nervous system dysregulation ran the show. Through deep inner work, he's transformed his relationship with money — from fear-driven to purpose-aligned. The big shift? Understanding that your nervous system must feel safe in order for wealth to grow and stay.   About Nate Ewert: Nate Ewert is a trauma-informed somatic healer and founder of Igniter Men's Group and Somatic Synergies. With certifications in conscious breathwork, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional release, Nate creates sacred spaces for men to unlearn cultural conditioning and step into embodied leadership and authentic purpose.   Key Discussion Points: Nate's “dark night of the soul” and how it sparked his healing journey. The difference between somatic healing and traditional talk therapy. Why regulating your nervous system is the foundation for a fulfilling life. How societal expectations around masculinity harm men's mental health. Tools to begin healing: breathwork, embodiment, emotional release. Nate's approach to building authentic community and sacred space for men. How trauma patterns influence how we earn, spend, and feel about money. Redefining success: from hustle to harmony.   Conclusion: This episode is a call to stop doing and start feeling. Nate Ewert offers a rare, vulnerable, and deeply practical guide to healing, purpose, and aligned living. If you're a man feeling disconnected or driven by invisible forces… or if you're simply seeking more from life than performance and checklists, this is your wake-up call.   Links: Website: www.ignitermensgroup.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3506607039556815  Instagram: @ignitermensgroup  Website: www.somaticsynergies.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SomaticSynergies  Instagram: @somaticsynergieshealing   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Do you ever scroll through social media and wonder why everyone else's life seems perfect while yours feels like a constant struggle? C - Monster dives deep into this modern phenomenon, exposing the carefully crafted illusions that dominate our digital landscape and impact our self-worth.With raw honesty and zero filter, this episode challenges our cultural obsession with influencers and celebrities who we elevate to hero status despite knowing nothing about their true character. "Idolize the person that gets up every freaking morning to go to work, to put food on the table and a roof over your head," Sea Monster urges, encouraging listeners to redirect their admiration toward those who genuinely impact their lives—parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors who provide authentic guidance and support.The conversation takes a revealing look at gym culture, where people film elaborate workouts while barely breaking a sweat, and contrasts it with genuine grinders who are "too busy grinding" to document their journey. Sea Monster delivers the powerful truth that "a good person, a real person, actually works harder and better and does the right thing when nobody is looking." This becomes the episode's core message: character is defined not by what you showcase online but by who you are when there's no external validation at stake.Whether you're struggling with social media addiction or simply feeling lost in a world of digital smoke and mirrors, this episode offers a refreshing reality check and a path toward authentic living. Subscribe to Can't Be Broken for more unfiltered conversations that challenge conventional thinking and inspire genuine growth beyond the constraints of social expectations.

Mental toughness isn't born—it's forged through adversity, failure, and the deliberate pursuit of challenge. As I return for Season 4 of the Can't Be Broken podcast, I'm diving headfirst into what truly creates resilience in both athletics and life.Your mind functions exactly like a muscle. When weightlifters target their biceps, they deliberately create microscopic tears through resistance, allowing the muscle to rebuild stronger. Mental toughness develops through this same mechanism—facing resistance, experiencing setbacks, and growing through recovery. Without these challenges, your mental fortitude remains underdeveloped and unprepared for life's inevitable obstacles.The four C's framework provides a practical approach to building unbreakable mental strength. Control teaches us to focus exclusively on factors within our influence rather than wasting energy on circumstances beyond our reach. Commitment challenges us to show up consistently regardless of how we feel or what conditions we face. Challenge serves as the essential catalyst for growth—we must either seek out difficult situations or learn from our failures when they naturally occur. Finally, Confidence emerges not from empty affirmations but from thorough preparation and proven resilience. This authentic confidence grows in direct proportion to the work invested and obstacles overcome. Whether you're an athlete, student, business professional, or parent, embracing these principles creates not just temporary success but lasting mental fortitude. After all, a tough mind, like a C - Monsters Mindset, truly can't be broken.

Yet, many men we have served in our ministry struggle terribly with trust. In today's episode, Stephen and I are going to dig into this important topic of trust through the lens of one man's story that begins with him not being able to trust his parents with his thoughts and feelings and ends with him finally living a “love plus trust” story. We will share the distinction between love and trust and how love plus trust takes us even deeper than love alone.

Le plongeon à cheval, un spectacle audacieux et sensationnel, est devenu une attraction phare en Amérique du Nord au début du XXe siècle, captivant les foules par son caractère spectaculaire et dangereux. Ce divertissement unique consistait à faire sauter un cheval, monté par un cavalier, depuis une tour élevée, parfois jusqu'à 18 mètres de haut, dans une piscine en contrebas. Cette pratique est souvent associée à la célèbre Sonora Webster Carver, qui a contribué à sa popularisation dans les années 1920 et 1930, et dont l'histoire a été adaptée dans le film "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" en 1991. L'attrait pour le plongeon à cheval résidait dans son mélange d'adrénaline, d'intrépidité, et d'un sentiment d'impossible. Les spectateurs étaient fascinés par la combinaison de l'habileté du cavalier, la majesté des chevaux, et le suspense qui entourait chaque saut. Voir un animal aussi grand et puissant se jeter dans le vide avec son cavalier captivait l'imagination du public, car cela semblait à la fois improbable et périlleux. Chaque saut était un test de précision, d'équilibre et de bravoure, tant pour l'animal que pour le cavalier. Le plongeon à cheval trouvait souvent sa place dans les foires itinérantes et les parcs d'attractions, notamment à Atlantic City. Il devint une attraction emblématique du Steel Pier, où les spectacles de plongeon attiraient des milliers de visiteurs. Le contexte historique joue également un rôle important dans la popularité du plongeon à cheval. À une époque où le cinéma et la télévision n'étaient pas encore généralisés, ces spectacles offraient une forme de divertissement visuel intense, répondant à un besoin croissant de sensations fortes et de frissons. Cependant, malgré son immense popularité, cette pratique a été critiquée pour sa dangerosité et les risques qu'elle faisait courir tant aux chevaux qu'aux cavaliers. Sonora Webster elle-même perdit la vue à cause d'un accident survenu lors d'un plongeon. Les préoccupations liées à la maltraitance des animaux ont également contribué à la disparition progressive de cette attraction à partir des années 1940 et 1950. Le plongeon à cheval a marqué l'imaginaire collectif de l'époque et reste un exemple frappant de l'attrait qu'exerçait le danger contrôlé sur le public au début du XXe siècle. Malgré sa disparition, il continue d'incarner une époque révolue de spectacles audacieux et d'expériences limites. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Weaker jobs numbers, rising Japanese interest rates, AI bubble fears, and election-year uncertainty are among the many factors posited as the cause of the stock market's steep declines this week, and the lengthy period of elevated interest rates in the United States has helped create this fragile economic environment more vulnerable to recession. A major economic downturn would be keenly felt for apartment operators facing continued challenges with lower rent growth and higher expenses, but given the magnitude of housing demand, the proven resilience of apartment assets, and the likelihood of lower interest rates, many investors are anticipating more activity and opportunity in the multifamily investment market.

Here's a fun little podcast update for you.    As most of you (hopefully) know, Heather MacFadyen of the Don't Mom Alone podcast and I have a little sideshow we do once a month called Sidetracked. Basically, it's an unfiltered conversation between the two of us discussing life's goings on, parenting, faith, etc. It comes out the first Friday of the month on Don't Mom Alone, and It's been a big hit.    So, spinning off from that concept this week, we're doing a second episode of Sidetracked in the summer months that includes a surprise guest aired on both of our shows. And today is the day we kick it off with our friend Toni Collier. Please hear me:  You do not want to miss a second of this conversation.    If you don't know Toni, she's  the author of Broken Crayons Still Color as well as a podcaster, speaker, and mom of two sweet kiddos. Toni chats with us about everything from getting tattoos with Ann Voskamp to seeing God show up through “God winks.”

Today kicks off our new sidetracked series with a surprise guest! Toni Collier- author, speaker, podcaster, and single mom- joins us to cover all the topics. Toni is the author of Broken Crayons Still Color and encourages people that even in the hard and dark parts of life God is waiting to use us. In our brokenness, we can see God in the land of the living. She reminds us that regardless of events in our past there is still hope and joy to be found. Toni discusses how we lose wonder and excitement as we become adults and how to remain like a child while we look for God in the everyday, He is always working if we have the eyes to see it.  It wouldn't be sidetracked though if we didn't go on every tangent possible from tattoos with Ann Voskamp, to Toni's dream concert, sushi, and the Ironman movies, we cover it all.  Connect with Toni Collier:  Website:  HOME | Toni Collier Facebook: Toni J Collier  Instagram:  Toni Collier (@tonijcollier) Links Mentioned:   PODCAST | Toni Collier Brave Enough to Be Broken: by Toni Collier Broken Crayons Still Color: by Toni Collier Ironman movie Matched workout sets on Amazon (something like this) Nuuly Torres - Black Truffle Potato Chips  Related Episodes: When You're Busy and Stressed by Mom Life Expectations :: Joanna Weaver [Ep 463] Brave Enough to be Broken :: Toni Collier [Ep 388] Broken Crayons Still Color :: Toni Collier [Ep 267] Featured Sponsors:  Greenlight: Sign up for Greenlight today and get your first month free when you go to GREENLIGHT.com/dma Thrive Causemetics: Refresh your everyday look with Thrive Causemetics.

They say all journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware, and as C-Monster, I'm sharing an intimate look back at the grooves we've carved on the Can't Be Broken podcast. From the gritty beginnings of my competitive spirit to the unwavering commitment to my principles, this episode is a heartfelt tribute to the incredible guests and you, the listeners, who've shaped this odyssey. We've sprinted through storms and basked in victories, and as we perch on the possibility of a final lap, I'm infused with gratitude for the lessons learned and the wisdom imparted about resilience and mental strength.Embrace the notion that action is the foundational key to all success. This conversation is a clarion call to be the first to grab the reins, to labor beyond the glare of the spotlights, turning your aspirations into tangible triumphs. I hold nothing back as we explore the criticality of hard work trumping talent, and the potency of personal accountability and work ethic. Our dialogue serves as a powerful reminder that the deliberate steps we take each day craft the future we dream of. As we potentially close this chapter, the echo of our mantra resounds with certainty—you simply can't be broken.
