Episode 67: King of The Castle

WHOA! I was deeply moved by this conversation with Mike Elliott. Mike is a man who literally fell to his knees contemplating the end of his life and walked out the other side as one of the most clear-eyed, connected, devoted men you'll ever meet. His story is a masterclass in choosing life, choosing growth, and choosing to become the man the world needs more of. Mike's journey starts in the shadows and continued there until the universe initiated him with a dark night of the soul strong enough to crack him open that he might reach out for help and mentorship for the first time.A soul coach showed up, and Mike went all in. He hired therapists, joined men's groups, and most importantly, started doing the integration work that lead him to one of his most important life's callings (besides husband and father).We explore what women ACTUALLY need from men and why it might seem confusing. Why nervous system regulation is the ultimate act of love, and what it really means to hold space for a medicine woman who gives her all to the world. This conversation is about normalizing the path of alchemy, what real men's work looks like, what real partnership requires, and the truth that happiness isn't about constant striving. It's about integration, play, presence, and finally learning the tools nobody ever gave you.If you've been wondering why your relationship feels like constant reactivity, if you're burning out trying to be everything to everyone, if you're a man who's ready to finally do the work: this episode is the spark to light the way of your soul's work. This is the conversation we all need to hear delivered by a man who's walked through hell and back to be able to be the king of his castle seated right next to his queen. I hope it opens your mind as much as it did mine. Listener discretion is advised: This podcast discusses sensitive topics related to trauma, abuse, addiction and psychedelic therapy, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.  I encourage listeners to engage mindfully and take care of themselves throughout the conversation.Want to work with Mike? www.itsmikeelliott.comInsta @mikeelliot.relatingConnect with Bijou FinneyIG: ⁠@mushroommamasita⁠Website: ⁠mushroommamasita.com
