There's something in the intersection between two humans that is very unique and powerful. It takes patience and courage to step in that uncomfortable territory. - Nicolas Canon
My guest today is Nicolas Canon.
Nicolas is an international best-selling author and speaker. His work is rooted in helping people heal the fragmentation between the spiritual and practical sides of life, leveraging relationships as the forging fire of growth and transformation.
His work threads ancestral wisdom from Ayahuasca shamans, indigenous elders and Eastern mystics together with modern coaching, therapy and tactical tools & processes to create powerful 'rubber-meets-the-road' containers of fast transformation.
Over the past decade, he has dedicated himself to helping individuals and couples not only deepen their relationships but also find greater self-awareness and spiritual alignment.
In this episode, he shares of his journey from Colombia to Toronto, Canada where he ran a tattoo shop and first worked as a coach - after many challenging & toxic relationships, he was guided to embark on a vision quest in the south of France. These experiences dramatically shaped his approach to life and work, including the crucible of marriage.
Finally, Nicolas reveals his insights into "the language of men” and how women can enhance communication with their male partners, deepen emotional connection, and unlock the potential of evolutionary partnership.
