This isn’t just another self-help podcast. It’s a raw, unfiltered journey into the heart of what it means to be a perfectly imperfect human. In bite-sized episodes meant to fit into your busy life, Ryan explores the inner battles we often avoid—offering real talk on avoidance, the artist’s journey, emotional healing, and the power of shadow work and journaling. If you’re avoidant—constantly feeling stuck, putting off your own happiness, and waiting for “tomorrow” to finally feel free—then what The Troubled Monk offers is exactly where your healing begins. Through reflections on change, grief, gratitude, faith and growth, this podcast is a mirror and a map—calling you back to your truth, your sense of purpose, and your most empowered self. Welcome to the space where chaos meets calm—and where healing doesn’t have to look holy to be sacred.
