You Are Not Broken, You Are Being Broken Open | David Ault | New Thought Men’s Podcast S2E5

Описание: What if the hardest moments of your life aren’t breaking you — but breaking you open?

In this episode of the New Thought Men’s Podcast, host Eamon is joined by spiritual teacher and humanitarian David Ault for a deeply grounded conversation on mindfulness, masculinity, and spiritual growth through suffering. Unlike more conceptual discussions of personal development, this episode centers on lived experience—including illness, pilgrimage, service, and the slow wisdom that comes from staying present with pain rather than bypassing it.
David reflects on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, daily mindfulness practice, and the idea that nothing in life is void of process. Together, Eamon and David explore what it means for men to allow themselves to be broken open—to meet hardship with compassion, awareness, and responsibility, and to transform personal healing into service for others.

This episode is for men navigating loss, change, spiritual awakening, or a deeper call to live with purpose and integrity.
