It’s a raw, unfiltered journey into the heart of what it means to be a perfectly imperfect human. In bite-sized episodes meant to fit into your busy life, Ryan explores the inner battles we often avoid—offering real talk on avoidance, the artist’s journey, emotional healing, and the power of shadow work and journaling.\nIf you’re avoidant—constantly feeling stuck, putting off your own happiness, and waiting for “tomorrow” to finally feel free—then what The Troubled Monk offers is exactly where your healing begins.\nThrough reflections on change, grief, gratitude, faith and growth, this podcast is a mirror and a map—calling you back to your truth, your sense of purpose, and your most empowered self. \nWelcome to the space where chaos meets calm—and where healing doesn’t have to look holy to be sacred.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/13640401/TTM_ICON_SPOTIFY_q9nkdt.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/13640401/TTM_ICON_SPOTIFY_q9nkdt_1200x628.jpg?s=f9ae82532376a7eb86fc2c8e8cb6c98e&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://thetroubledmonk.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/thetroubledmonk/feed.xml","theme":"podisc","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-23skk-d022d1?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":9,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-07:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-7,"text":"(GMT-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Denver"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":25,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"thetroubledmonk","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-23skk-d022d1-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-23skk-d022d1?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/5yEhjjqwxuwOoxPHYYEbvQ","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a74b05d5-6437-4824-b293-4c9ad40befcc","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/101025422","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3384908","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-troubled-monk-podcast-4844375","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"EB Garamond"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#EB5255"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/37eir3/TTM_ICON_SPOTIFYd1d84249-deab-b2bd-0c3f-39711c4619b3.jpg"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

In this episode I talk about seeing the pattern that you are in, and the importance of consistently breaking that pattern in order to get the most out of your life. Get out your journal and a pen! It's time to get honest with yourself.
