In this episode of The Fatherhood Movement, Bubba Page sits down with transformation specialist, high performance coach, and breathwork facilitator Aaron James Yager for a wide ranging conversation about healing, the nervous system, masculine and feminine energy, and learning to actually feel what we've spent years pushing down.
Aaron shares how breathwork became the center of his work, why our emotions are messages rather than problems, and how ancient wisdom and modern somatic tools can help a man regulate himself and lead from a grounded place. Together they get into why so many of us were taught to shove things down, and what changes when we finally let them surface.
They discuss:
• What breathwork is and why it's such a powerful healing tool
• Regulating your nervous system through the breath
• Why your emotions are data and messages, not problems
• The truth that if you don't feel it, you don't heal it
• Teaching kids to self regulate from a young age
• Masculine and feminine balance, without losing the difference
• Leading with a calm, grounded presence
• Reacting versus responding in hard conversations
• Getting back into integrity in your relationships
• The Viking Initiation retreat and the power of modern initiation
• Bringing faith and Jesus together with somatic healing
