Hello and Welcome! On today's episode Ron Ruggiero (@TraumaHealing23 on X) shares his transformational journey with our listeners. From being the family golden child to uncovering deeper toxic familial dynamics by shifting energy and realigning to better behavioral patterns, we discuss the journey towards intentional innerchild healing via a divine masculine perspective. Men, this one's a gift for you! How lucky are we to get a chance to listen to a mans perspective on the path towards true soul enlightenment? Whether that's overcoming the fear of shame, understanding cathartic releases, meditating for no goal, or sharing your emotions with your beloved Highschool sweetheart, Ron gives us all that window view into a now joyful living which manifests as less anxiety and more multidimensional health, happiness, and success.

On the one hand, Ron Ruggiero is the typical American "success" story. A childhood filled with academic success led to him being the first and only person in his family to graduate from college. He went on a very successful career in the labor movement with a record of achievement, sometimes record-setting. But, his life was also characterized by unrelenting anxiety, worry, perfectionism, and workaholism. At the age of 51, during a late career change, he learned his "rough childhood" was actually complex trauma and he began in his healing work in mid-2022. Since then he has experienced a dramatic transformation of his life on all fronts. His excitement and awe about these changes has led him to share his story in hopes that might inspire others to start--or continue--their healing work.
