We're flooded with messages on who to be & how to act, all while we carry the weight to lead, provide & perform. We do what works on the surface, but often lose touch with the man we truly are. Eventually, this backfires: Partners lose trust. Intimacy fades. Relationships break down. Performance suffers. Heart of Man is for the man ready to go deeper—to walk the integrated path, reclaim who he is at his core & discover what it means to live embodied in leadership, love & life. Join Alex in raw conversations with world-class leaders, exploring the modern man's path.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-18T22:25:14.623906+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/heart-of-man-men-s-leadership-relationships-and-intimacy-6476755"},"episode":{"title":"Charles Myssy: Shadow Work, Self-Sabotage & Breaking Free From The Patterns Running Your Life | EP 76","slug":"charles-myssy-shadow-work-self-sabotage-breaking-free-from-the-patterns-running-your-life-ep-76","published_at":"2026-04-29T12:48:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/heart-of-man-men-s-leadership-relationships-and-intimacy-6476755/charles-myssy-shadow-work-self-sabotage-breaking-free-from-the-patterns-running-your-life-ep-76","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/heart-of-man-men-s-leadership-relationships-and-intimacy-6476755","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heartofman/episodes/Charles-Myssy-Shadow-Work--Self-Sabotage--Breaking-Free-From-The-Patterns-Running-Your-Life--EP-76-e3iiofv","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/dfbdca10/podcast/play/119152575/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-3-28%2F423013219-44100-2-b6640c1da27b6.mp3","summary":"Charles Myssy is a Shadow Alchemist, facilitator, and founder of Shadow Mastery Institute, an international organization guiding people through somatic shadow work, archetypal exploration, and inner child integration. In his work, he guides people into the parts of themselves they have long avoided, supporting them to move from unconscious pattern and protective armor into integrated, embodied wholeness. While many know Charles through his widely popular social media content and humor, few know the version of him from which all of it originated. The one who grew up in scarcity... Who watched his mother fight to keep it all together as the sole provider... Who took on the weight of the household as the sole masculine figure before he had any idea what that weight meant...
