What if the path to wealth, happiness, and fulfillment isn’t in doing more — but in feeling more?
In this powerful episode of Richer Soul, Nate Ewert joins Rocky to share how he helps men break free from unconscious survival patterns and step into lives of true purpose and alignment. Through his work with Igniter Men’s Group and Somatic Synergies, Nate bridges ancient wisdom, neuroscience, and trauma-informed healing practices to guide transformation from the inside out.
Whether you're feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or you're seeking deeper emotional freedom and clarity in life, this episode reveals the subtle, yet profound shifts that unlock authentic success — not just externally, but within.
Key Takeaways:
- Healing Isn't a Luxury — It's Foundational. Nate emphasizes that unresolved trauma impacts your nervous system, your decisions, your relationships, and even how you handle money. Real transformation begins by learning to feel safe in your body.
- Masculinity Needs a Redefinition. Men are often conditioned to suppress emotion and “man up,” but Nate shows how true strength lies in vulnerability, community, and nervous system regulation.
- You Don’t Need to Be Broken to Grow. Many of Nate's clients come to him not because they’re falling apart, but because they know there’s more. More purpose. More depth. More alignment. And they’re ready to go deeper.
- Somatic Work Is the Missing Link. Talk therapy often stays in the head. Somatic healing helps release stored trauma and energy from the body — the place where transformation really begins.
Money Learnings:
Nate’s early money story was shaped by scarcity and survival. He shares how financial lessons were limited to rules like "save 10%," but these didn't help when fear and nervous system dysregulation ran the show. Through deep inner work, he’s transformed his relationship with money — from fear-driven to purpose-aligned. The big shift? Understanding that your nervous system must feel safe in order for wealth to grow and stay.
About Nate Ewert:
Nate Ewert is a trauma-informed somatic healer and founder of Igniter Men's Group and Somatic Synergies. With certifications in conscious breathwork, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional release, Nate creates sacred spaces for men to unlearn cultural conditioning and step into embodied leadership and authentic purpose.
Key Discussion Points:
- Nate’s “dark night of the soul” and how it sparked his healing journey.
- The difference between somatic healing and traditional talk therapy.
- Why regulating your nervous system is the foundation for a fulfilling life.
- How societal expectations around masculinity harm men’s mental health.
- Tools to begin healing: breathwork, embodiment, emotional release.
- Nate’s approach to building authentic community and sacred space for men.
- How trauma patterns influence how we earn, spend, and feel about money.
- Redefining success: from hustle to harmony.
Conclusion:
This episode is a call to stop doing and start feeling. Nate Ewert offers a rare, vulnerable, and deeply practical guide to healing, purpose, and aligned living. If you're a man feeling disconnected or driven by invisible forces… or if you’re simply seeking more from life than performance and checklists, this is your wake-up call.
