In this episode of Recovery Unleashed, we dive into one of the most raw and powerful conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast.

Joining me are Integral Alchemy creator, Gavin Abeyratne, and Wayne Taylor, founder of Average Joes Men’s Collective — a movement dedicated to men’s connection, purpose, and growth.

What started as an impromptu chat quickly turned into something much deeper — an on-the-spot Integral Alchemy process, exploring themes of belonging, childhood imprints, the “sins of the mothers,” and how unresolved emotional patterns play out in our adult lives.

Together, we unpack what it really means to:

Break free from people-pleasing and reclaim your voice.

Heal the invisible contracts passed down through generations.

Understand how childhood moments shape our ability to lead, love, and trust.

Explore the masculine and feminine polarities that impact relationships, leadership, and family dynamics.

Recognize how men today are struggling with identity, purpose, and permission to be themselves.

This conversation is honest, raw, and emotional — Wayne courageously shares his story in real-time, processing a deep wound that has shaped his drive to be “the good guy” and his struggle to receive love, support, and appreciation.

We also dive into:

How modern society has distorted masculine and feminine roles.

The burnout of men trying to provide and perform without purpose.

Why truth, not perfection, is what creates trust and connection.

The real reason both men and women struggle to receive.

And how Integral Alchemy gives people the tools to feel, integrate, and lead from their truth.

This episode will challenge you, open your heart, and maybe even bring a few tears — because at its core, it’s about returning home to yourself and finding the courage to say: “This is who I am.”
