In this deeply moving and mythic 200th episode, I sit down with Executive Coach, NLP Trainer, and Family Constellations Facilitator John O’Connor (@itsjohnoconnor) for a soul-charged conversation that weaves the mystical, ancestral, and modern masculine into one unforgettable dialogue.
We explore:
– His transformative pilgrimage to Ireland to honor his ancestral lineage and Y chromosome
– The evolution of Family Constellations work, from its Zulu origins to his own sacred practice
– The rites of passage modern men are missing, and how his son is preparing for a vision quest with the Lakota tribe
– How death is an essential part of life, and why it belongs back in the center of our conversations
– The mystical blessing that led him to meet his wife
– The wild synchronicities that connect us
– Why metaphor is the language of the soul, and how he uses it to unlock deep healing
– And yes… how one of his clients once said:
“You’re going to relax me and get me pregnant.”
This is one of those episodes that speaks across generations — from father to son, soul to soul, and womb to world.
