In this week’s episode, I sit down with Peter Heymann, a coach in our BreakAwake community and a beautiful example of what is possible when someone is willing to do the real work. Peter recovered fully from chronic back pain using this work, and what makes his story especially powerful is how deeply it intersects with the way boys and men are conditioned in our culture. We talk about “the man box” — the unspoken rules so many boys are raised with: don’t cry, tough it out, man up. When we teach boys to disconnect from their emotional lives, we don’t eliminate their feelings, we just drive them underground. And the body keeps score. Peter shares how inner child work helped him reconnect with younger parts of himself that had been silenced for decades, and how that reconnection was one of the missing links in resolving his pain.

This conversation is tender, honest, and incredibly important — especially for those of us raising boys, loving men, or trying to unlearn our own inherited rules about strength and vulnerability. Peter speaks candidly about fatherhood, emotional literacy, and what it means to model something different for the next generation. His back pain is completely resolved, but even more meaningful is the freedom he feels inside himself. And I’m so thrilled he’ll be joining us again at the Omega Institute this June for his second summer with our community, witnessing people step out of fear and into their lives. You’re going to love this one. XOOX n.
