My Messy Golden Path: Intuition, Vision, and Safety Nets

I'm realizing how wild the last four years have been. In this chat with my brother Brian, we dig into the messy parts of that journey. We talk about how I stopped being a "floater" , learned to trust the "Hell Yes" in my body , and the exact tools I use to keep climbing when s**t hits the fan. What we cover: Developing the Body Compass: How to feel a "Yes" or "No" in your chest. The Golden Path: Why you need safety nets, not just motivation. Vision Fasts: My experience spending 4 days alone in nature to find my purpose. Why the world needs your specific gift right now. Join the Journey I’m hosting live weekly sessions starting January 8th. We’ll be practicing breathwork, nature connection, and learning how to build your own Golden Path. 👉 Join the Classroom: https://www.skool.com/root-2-nature-journeys-4430/about?ref=7991bb21d5dc4c17856cb356c2f366bd 👉 My Website: root2naturewellness.comCheck out The Rising Man Movement for Rites of Passage and Mens Work here: https://risingman.org/ Get full access to Root-2-Nature Journeys at root2nature.substack.com/subscribe

The Northern Path of Reconnection to Self, Nature, & God

Everywhere I look, I see disconnection —from our phones to our shoes, we are insulated from the Earth. This separation shows up as chronic disease, deep loneliness, and a profound lack of purpose . But there is a path back to yourself, back to connection, and back to your purpose . In this audio note, I share a deeply personal and magical process of "remembering" that is coming online for me right now. This is my "Northern Path." In this episode, you'll discover: My personal journey into SEIDR (Norse Shamanism) and what it means to work with the "magic" and subtle energies of nature . How reconnecting to Nature (Mother Earth), Self (Your Heart), and God (Creator) are not separate acts, but one profound path to your true, authentic self . The simple, powerful science of Grounding (Earthing) , sunlight , and fresh air and how they literally charge your cells and increase your energy. How this connection is the key to clearing your energetic channels, connecting to your heart as your filter for truth, and finally stepping into your purpose. Why this individual work is vital to sparking a collective revolution of love and nature reconnection for generations to come .

Flow Over Force

Summary: In this personal audio note, I share a real-time pivot I'm making in my own life and spiritual practice. I explore the visceral difference between forcing a path and allowing myself to flow with the guidance of Spirit. I get vulnerable about my decision to let go of a public 65-day journaling commitment that felt meaningless, and what new, more potent practice has emerged in its place. This is a reflection on the courage it takes to listen, the wisdom in stillness, and how true preparation for leadership is often about creating spaciousness, not just completing tasks. This message is an invitation for you to look at your own life and ask: where am I forcing, and where can I allow myself to flow? In this audio note, I discuss: A visceral metaphor for understanding the feeling of Flow vs. Force. Why I'm letting go of my 65-day journaling commitment, even after three weeks of discipline. The difference between quitting and making a sacred pivot in alignment with a deeper mission. The signs and messages Spirit has been sending me to slow down, be still, and listen. My new morning practice of Ujjayi breath and how it’s creating the spaciousness I need to guide the upcoming solo fast. An invitation for you to reflect on where you might be forcing things in your own life. Key Reflections from this Episode: Sometimes, the most disciplined action is to let go of the plan and listen more deeply. The resistance you feel is an intelligent message from your body and spirit. It's an invitation to find a more aligned path. True preparation isn't always about "doing more." Often, it’s about creating stillness to become a better container for the work you're meant to do. You don't have to abandon structure entirely. The goal is to build a structure strong enough to allow for flow within it. The Container for Deep Listening: The journey I talk about in this audio note—slowing down, getting quiet in nature, and listening for a deeper truth—is the exact work we will be doing in the 24-Hour Solo Fast. It is the ultimate container for moving from a life of force to a life of flow. If this message resonates with you and you feel the call to find this clarity for yourself, I invite you to learn more and apply. ➡️ Learn More & Apply for the 24-Hour Solo Fast Get full access to Root-2-Nature Journeys at root2nature.substack.com/subscribe

The Great Illusion: Why Scarcity Isn't Real

We've been taught to believe in limits, in lack. But the truth is, humans are the architects of their own scarcity. Have you ever felt constantly drained, isolated, or like you're fighting for every resource? That pervasive belief in scarcity is deeply ingrained in our society, leading to loneliness and depression. But what if I told you the scarcity we fear was never truly there? What if we are the ones creating it ourselves? In this powerful audio note, I dive into this profound illusion, revealing how our mindset of competition and extraction, even in agriculture, actually destroys the very systems that create abundance. You'll discover: Nature's True Blueprint: How the natural world operates on a "gift" economy, where resources never run out, but constantly cycle and regenerate in a sacred circle of reciprocity. The Energy Barrier: Why you won't be able to fully live into your unique gifts or even realize your true purpose if you're stuck in a stressed, survival state, lacking the energy needed to give. Your Inherent Drive to Give: We all have unique gifts meant to help one another, and finding the energy to give them brings immense fulfillment and helps create a beautiful reciprocal circle in our communities. The Revolution Begins With You: How healing yourself and getting out of survival mode provides the energy to shift focus from "all about me" to serving others, igniting a ripple effect of love and nature reconnection for future generations. Simple Steps to Reclaim Abundance: How small actions like getting outside and putting your bare feet on the grass can immediately shift your energy and reconnect you to the Earth's natural abundance. Witness how trees aren't fighting for light or air, and how animals and plants give to one another in a never-ending circle, unlocking even more abundance for the whole system when humans rejoin as caretakers.

The Black Sheep's Secret: Unlocking the Force That Changes Everything

This episode is for every black sheep, every "weirdo" who feels different because you are different – and you're meant to be! My journey from the typical path showed me the suffering that arises from disconnection, both from nature and our true selves. You have a unique magic, a powerful gift meant to help transform others and lead. But what happens when you know your purpose, but lack the energy or clarity to live it out? In this episode, you'll uncover: Why the world's suffering, from chronic disease to mental health crises, is a direct result of our deep disconnection from nature and our true human blueprint. The critical barrier: A nervous system constantly in survival mode, keeping you stuck, tired, and unable to tap into your inherent abilities or purpose. How building a strong physical foundation of wellness creates the energy and space to heal deep wounds, listen to your intuition, and live a truly self-led life. The profound impact of simple, daily actions like getting your bare feet on the Earth, breathing deeply, and reconnecting with nature's energy to activate your unique gifts. Why your personal healing journey is vital for collectively creating a more loving, nature-connected future for generations to come.

I share my personal journey with lifelong gut issues directly linked to suppressing this very force. You'll discover how bottling up your anger can sabotage your drive, create physical pain, and prevent you from living the life you're truly meant to create. In this episode, you'll learn: Why anger, when transformed, becomes an unstoppable creative force to build your vision and live your purpose. The critical link between building your physical foundation of wellness (my core pillars) and gaining the energy to work with your deepest emotions, getting you out of survival mode.

THIS is NOT Okay

I'm calling you to witness the truth, feel the urgency, and reclaim the ancient power within you to heal yourself and ignite a revolution for generations to come. It is not okay where the world is at today. Look around… Chronic disease is rampantly on the rise, children are suffering with diabetes, and our elderly are losing their memories, often pushed aside in our society. People in their 20s are battling chronic pain, heart disease, and mental health struggles like depression, anxiety, and stress disorders that are eating at us. It’s a silent pandemic of suffering, and it is not okay. We have leaders who don't know how to truly care for themselves – mentally, spiritually, physically, or emotionally – and we are seeing the direct, terrifying results of that. We're being led further and further away from the very solution that I believe could turn this whole thing around. I usually don't dive into the state of the world like this, but this message is too vital to hold back. You don't have to suffer! That's not how we're meant to live. We weren't designed to merely hobble along, reliant on pills and external fixes. We were meant to know our purpose, to connect with our intuition and Spirit, and to live vibrant, fulfilled lives in powerful bodies. Take a moment if you haven’t already and listen to the audio message above. A message that is burning within me to get out! The Truth: We Are Nature. As you heard, the solution isn't some complex, distant answer. It's in the very name of my work: Root-2-Nature. It's about getting back to who we truly are as humans. It's understanding that we are not above nature; we are part of it. We are co-creators, born of this very Earth. For too long, we as a species – and our leaders – have been led to believe we are separate, that we have dominion over nature. And what's happened when we tried to play master? We are suffering. We've turned away from our own Mother, the very source that birthed us from its soils. Our ancestors, even imperfectly, understood this sacred union, this relationship. They didn't live in fear of nature; they understood its power and how to work with it. I truly believe the reason we've walked away from this connection is rooted in fear… Fear of confronting what nature mirrors back to us: our unexamined pains, our hidden fears, the shadows within us. We've been conditioned to just "keep working," "do what the system tells you," and repress everything. But that's not what I'm doing anymore. And I want you to understand: You don't have to suffer. You can feel purposeful, fulfilled, and break free from the chains of pain that have been holding you back. This profound shift, this healing, this reclaiming of our God-given purpose, begins with coming back to Nature. Your Power Awaits: Simple, Actionable Steps to Start Today This isn't some overnight transformation. It's a journey, and that's okay. But the first steps are powerful, and they are incredibly simple. Imagine: * Getting your bare feet on the soil. Feeling the Earth's charge as it literally feeds your cells, improving blood flow and vitality. * Breathing in true energy. Every breath brings electrically charged oxygen molecules, fueling your body at a cellular level. * Soaking up sunlight. Not just for Vitamin D, but for the vital energy that charges your being. * Moving your body with joy. Like climbing a tree, dancing, or simply playing – actions humans were meant to do. * Eating food that truly nourishes. Food that was born right here, locally, grown in co-creation with nature, not sprayed with poisons or shipped across oceans. * Reclaiming restorative sleep. Because your body is designed to regenerate powerfully, and modern interference is hijacking that process. This isn't about being perfect; it's about starting. It's about taking one step at a time to transform your health and body, aligning with who you were truly meant to be. I'm here to help you do that. Your Voice Matters: Join the Conversation, Spread the Truth. What did you get out of this message today? What inspired you? What questions sparked within you? I genuinely want to know. Connecting with other humans—that's how we collectively begin to heal. Hit reply, or leave a comment below. Let's connect, because I truly want to understand where you are and how I can best support your journey. And if this message resonated with you, if you feel that fire burning, please share this post. More and more people are suffering needlessly every day as we head further and further away from our roots – our ultimate life source – in nature. It's vital that this message continues to spread. Thank you for being here, for listening, and for having the courage to take a moment and question what’s really going on.
