Michael Ryan has spent over thirty years watching grown men fall apart in the best possible way. As a longtime Men's Circle facilitator, he's learned exactly what it takes to get a man who hasn't cried in twenty years to finally let go, and it usually starts with a drum circle, a hot seat, and one simple question: what's going on in your body right now?

In this conversation, Michael tells Dawn why he believes most men walk around numb from the neck down, and what actually breaks that pattern open. They get into the technique he uses to move a man from telling his story to feeling what's underneath it, why appreciation makes tough guys visibly uncomfortable, and the surprising reason he thinks men are finally Googling "men's circle" instead of waiting for someone to drag them there.

Michael also opens up about the spiritual community that changed the course of his life, and shares a story from a Tibetan teacher that has stuck with him for forty years.

By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with:
— Why so many men can't access their emotions, and what actually shifts it
— The real difference between telling a story and healing from it
— What happens in the "hot seat" during a Men's Circle session
— Why Michael calls this work the antidote to social media

Michael Ryan is a Men's Circle facilitator and life coach who has led men's and women's circles since the early 1990s, drawing on training in family therapy, mediation, and subconscious reprogramming through PSYCH-K. He's currently training the next generation of circle leaders to carry this work forward.
