Season 8 Episode 32
Today, I sit down with Michael Nolan, co-founder of Embodied Recovery (with Greg Vorst, who was unable to make it today) and a man who has spent over a decade helping others break free from addiction by reconnecting to their truest selves. Mr. Nolan shares his personal journey from early substance use at age fourteen to finding lasting sobriety through rigorous honesty, self-awareness, and spiritual healing. Together, we explore how his experiences shaped his mission to change how people approach recovery — not just as a process of abstinence, but as a journey of embodiment, authenticity, and transformation.
Mr. Nolan opens up about growing up as the son of an NFL coach, moving frequently, and feeling disconnected from himself and others. That disconnection, he explains, was the root of his addiction — the loss of his authentic self. After multiple relapses and arrests, it wasn’t until he met Dr. Barry Rosen, who challenged him to face his dishonesty and build a foundation of truth, that recovery began to take root. Through his work with Embodied Recovery and the Empowered Living Teaching Series, Mr. Nolan integrates breathwork, inner child healing, and spiritual awareness to help others heal on a deeper level.
We also discuss the philosophy behind Embodied Recovery — going beyond the traditional 12 steps to address mental, emotional, and spiritual roots of addiction. Mr. Nolan explains how his program’s structured breathwork, creative healing, and community-based practices allow clients to ground themselves in the present, regulate their emotions, and develop a sustainable recovery lifestyle. His story proves that recovery is not just about quitting substances — it’s about rebuilding connection, integrity, and identity.
