#14 - Mike DeSanti - Your Authentic Self, Self-Limiting Beliefs, Shadow Work

from Becoming Ronin · host Brian "OB" Oberther, Jim "Smitty" Smith

In today's episode, we are honored to have Men's Transformation Coach, Mike DeSanti on the show. Beyond being a major influence in Smitty's life, Mike is the author of the book, New Man Emerging and owner of Authentic Self Healing LLC. As a respected life coach, Mike is committed to inspiring men to live lives of purpose and fulfillment. Mike and Smitty discuss the transformative process of participating in a sweat lodge, the meaning behind them, and who benefits from the experience. Smitty gets emotional when he brings up the accountability Mike has given to Smitty in digging up "Smitty's story," that has held him back for years. Mike then dives deep on the self-limiting beliefs that manifest as procrastination and how those beliefs are affected by your relationships with others. Mike explains that to be your authentic self, it's crucial to explore your "shadow," and dissect it to break down old coping mechanisms that no longer serve you. *For a full list of show notes, timestamps & important links from this episode visit: Becoming Ronin Podcast TIMESTAMPS [0:00] Intro | Rapid Fire [2:45] Who would win in a fight between @jayferruggia and @lukahocevar [3:20] What is the best part of the Montana Retreat?
