Traver Boehm is the author of the books Today I Rise, Man Uncivilized and 28 Days In Darkness. He’s a two-time TEDx speaker, men’s coach, and the founder of the Uncivilized Men’s Movement. He’s helped men all over the world to become Uncivilized as they wake up to the power of their hearts, the brilliance of their bodies, and the wisdom of their souls so they can blaze their own path by uniquely blending both the primal and the divine within them.Most recently, Traver completed an extraordinary 49-day dark retreat and released his latest book chronicling his first such journey, 28 Days In Darkness.He is dedicated to doing his part to help end the suffering in men, and the suffering caused by men, by guiding them through their own journey into an actualized version of masculinity.In this powerful conversation, Traver Boehm, founder of Man Uncivilized and author of 28 Days in Darkness, joins me to explore the crisis and rebirth of modern masculinity. We talk about shadow work, men’s mental health, trauma healing, emotional intelligence, nervous-system regulation, and the midlife search for purpose.Traver shares what he learned from spending 49 days in total darkness—and why the greatest challenge a man can face isn’t an Ironman race or a business empire, but the courage to meet himself. Together, we unpack the confusion between men and women in the post-MeToo era, the cost of numbing through achievement, and how reconnecting to feeling, presence, and authenticity brings life back into full color.If you’ve ever wondered why success feels empty, why relationships feel like war zones, or why modern men feel lost, this episode is your invitation to return home to yourself.Chapters: 00:00 The State of Masculinity and Femininity07:07 The Impact of COVID and Social Movements13:03 Navigating Relationships in a Changing World18:51 Understanding Male Desire and Safety24:33 The Role of Men in Modern Society29:48 Lessons on Safety and Vulnerability32:38 Understanding Sexual Needs and Desires37:03 The Impact of Masculinity on Relationships41:15 The Call to Action for Men46:35 The Importance of Being Known53:06 Facing Fear and Embracing Darkness56:59 Reliving Trauma: The Somatic Experience58:09 The Dark Retreat: Confronting Inner Demons01:02:50 The Power of Darkness: Insights and Resilience01:08:20 The Journey Within: Discovering the Soul01:14:00 The Illusion of Significance: Embracing Insignificance01:18:13 Man Uncivilized: Building Community and ConnectionGuest Resources:https://www.manuncivilized.com/pressInstagram - traverboehmYoutube -  @TraverBoehm  The UNcivilized Podcast - https://www.manuncivilized.com/blog/Find me on YouTube @abbyhavermann👉🏽 Inspire and transform your group by hiring me to speak: https://www.abbyhavermann.com/speaking👉 Get my free course: Stop Setting Boundaries (under an hour!): https://www.abbyhavermann.com/stop-setting-boundaries

Katie Deming, MD, is an integrative oncologist, inventor, and TEDx speaker who is redefining cancer prevention, treatment, and healing. After two decades as a radiation oncologist and healthcare leader, Katie shifted to a holistic practice that helps clients detoxify and nourish their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies in order to activate their innate ability to heal. Her passion for bridging the power of science with holistic health has led clients to remarkable outcomes, including tumor shrinkage, remission of advanced cancers, and avoidance of invasive treatments.Dr. Katie's practice is centered on prolonged, supervised water fasting with metabolically appropriate refeeding protocols. She leads group fasting programs designed to foster community support, metabolic healing, and profound emotional and spiritual transformation. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Katie Deming, a former radiation oncologist who walked away from a long medical career after a shared death experience reshaped her understanding of illness, intuition, and the purpose of life. She now helps people heal holistically—emotionally, physically, and spiritually—through integrative oncology and prolonged water fasting.We talk about what true healing really means, how emotions like unworthiness and self-betrayal manifest in the body, and why so many people nearing the end of life regret not living authentically. Dr. Deming shares powerful stories of clients who’ve experienced radical remission and inner transformation by turning inward, slowing down, and reconnecting with their intuition.This conversation dives into the intersection of science and spirit, Western medicine and emotional truth. Whether you’ve faced illness yourself or are simply curious about the mind-body connection, this episode will open your eyes to a new understanding of healing, authenticity, and the intelligence within your own body.Chapters: 00:00 The Journey from Oncology to Integrative Healing05:53 Lessons from the Dying: Living Authentically10:38 Intuition and Cancer: A Radical Shift in Perspective15:05 Healing vs. Eradication: Understanding Illness as a Message19:36 The Role of Emotions in Cancer and Healing24:22 Reconnecting with Humanity in Medicine28:31 The Disconnect Between Doctors and Intuition30:48 Compassion for Medical Professionals33:20 The Flaws in the Medical System35:17 The Challenge of Acceptance37:19 The Crisis of Awareness39:23 The Role of Fasting in Healing47:11 Spiritual Awakening Through FastingFind me on YouTube @abbyhavermann👉🏽 Inspire and transform your group by hiring me to speak: https://www.abbyhavermann.com/speaking👉 Get my free course: Stop Setting Boundaries (under an hour!): https://www.abbyhavermann.com/stop-setting-boundaries

Jamie Sarche’s calling is helping people be less afraid of death. By arranging for families to provide their loved ones with a planned and funded funeral or memorial service, she creates a path for bereavement, long before it's needed. And by facing their mortality, her clients can live better, more meaningful lives.As a seasoned speaker, Jamie brings deep experience in death care to a broad range of audiences around the country, sharing insights and approaches on how to have those difficult conversations and how to address sensitive issues. Extending well beyond death and dying, Jamie’s message resonates across industries and individuals, bridging my passion to demystify death while enlightening communicators on overcoming challenging conversations.Most of us don’t want to talk about death. We stuff our grief down, we skip the rituals, and we pretend “time heals all wounds.” My guest, Jamie Sarche, believes the opposite: that facing death and grief is what actually helps us live more fully.In this conversation, Jamie and I dive into how to grieve in real life (not the tidy version we see in movies), the role of funeral planning as a gift to your family, and why traditions like sitting Shiva, green burial, or even just sitting with someone in pain matter so deeply. We also talk about death anxiety, what happens when we avoid grief, and how avoiding those conversations keeps us disconnected from our intuition and each other.This episode is raw, authentic, and—strangely—life-affirming. If you’ve ever wondered what to say to someone who’s grieving, how to talk about death with your kids, or how to honor loss without numbing, this one’s for you.Find me on YouTube @abbyhavermann👉🏽 Inspire and transform your group by hiring me to speak: 👉 Get my free course: Stop Setting Boundaries (under an hour!): https://www.abbyhavermann.com/stop-setting-boundaries

Decision making can be exhausting when it’s fueled by overthinking, endless pros and cons, or the fear of making the wrong choice. In this Monday Muse, I share how to move beyond decision paralysis by tapping into your intuition and making choices from a deeper, more authentic place.I talk about the difference between ego-driven decisions and intuitive ones, how to check in with your body instead of just your mind, and why aligned decision making creates confidence, clarity, and authentic leadership.

Authentic leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about vulnerability, emotional intelligence, and the courage to be real. For decades we’ve been taught that good leaders are unshakable, but that lie keeps us exhausted, disconnected, and stuck in performance mode.In this episode of the Monday Muse, I share why pretending confidence drains your energy, how ego-driven decisions create burnout, and why radical self honesty is the foundation of genuine leadership. You’ll learn how to shift from performing to living awake—building trust, resilience, and deeper connection with yourself and those around you.If you’re tired of performing strength and ready to lead with authenticity, this conversation is your reminder that the leaders people want to follow are the ones who show up as human first.Chapters: 00:00 The Lie That Keeps Us Stuck07:43 The Cost of Performance15:57 Awakening to Authenticity21:05 Surrendering to the ProcessHIRE ME TO SPEAK:👉🏽 Inspire and transform your group with a keynote speech or training: https://www.abbyhavermann.com/speaking​​👉 Get my free course: Stop Setting Boundaries (under an hour!): https://www.abbyhavermann.com/stop-setting-boundaries

Why ‘Morality Divides’ Keeps You Stuck: Healing Hate & Finding Conscience. Our judgments—especially the righteous ones—keep us divided, drained, and disconnected from peace. I share the story of a podcast pitch that stopped me in my tracks, not because the writing wasn’t brilliant (it was), but because its final line revealed just how easily certainty turns into separation.This isn’t about politics or taking sides. It’s about something deeper: how hate—no matter how justified we think it is—remains hate. And when we fight hate with more hate, we become the very thing we despise. In this episode, I explore the difference between morality (which divides) and conscience (which unites), why our nervous systems push us toward judgment, and how leaders like Michael Singer and Gabor Maté model another way.At its core, this episode is about the choice each of us has: to keep fueling division, or to practice the harder, humbler path of presence, compassion, and conscience—even in the face of pain and injustice.Find me on YouTube @abbyhavermann👉🏽 Inspire and transform your group by hiring me to speak: https://www.abbyhavermann.com/speaking 👉 Get my free course: Stop Setting Boundaries (under an hour!): https://www.abbyhavermann.com/stop-setting-boundaries

Nick is a plant medicine enthusiast, psychic animal communicator, & intuition coach. He had his first psychic and psychedelic experiences in his early 20s. It took nearly 25 years for those kinds of experiences to resurface again. In fact, much of his adult life was what most people would consider “normal”. That changed when Nick started exploring consciousness with plant medicine & a spiritual teacher. A connection opened that continued to grow and evolve. He went to a psychic medium who told him he would communicate with animals, and it would be easy. After a few false starts, she was right. Animal communication, intuition, and emotional mirroring—this conversation with Nick goes deep. We explore how animals reflect our inner world, how plant medicine helped awaken his psychic abilities, and why intention is everything when it comes to connection. We also dive into the impact of technology and AI on human intuition and the importance of reconnecting with ourselves in a noisy world.
