A transformational coach, relationship mentor, and co-founder of Sacred Sons, Aubert sits down for one of the rawest, most unflinching conversations we’ve ever had, tracing the full arc of a life shaped by abandonment, addiction, spiritual awakening, and the very public dismantling of everything he built. We go deep into the father wound, the patterns it seeds across a lifetime, what it actually costs to tell the truth when the truth threatens everything you’ve constructed, and what becomes possible when a man stops performing and starts rebuilding from the ground up. This is a story of sacred ruin, of losing identity, reputation and relationship, and finding something indestructible on the other side. If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to let the truth set you free, this conversation will show you.
