My guest today is Jon Chenot, founder of Citadel Theory and a guy who lives what he teaches: building health, personal growth, and self-sovereignty into your daily life.

We talk about the basics—why cooking for yourself and surrounding yourself with the right people matter—and go deep into the harder stuff: the isolating but necessary “dark night of the soul,” the push-and-pull of relationships, and how pain can actually be your greatest teacher.

Jon doesn’t hold back on the balance between masculine and feminine energy, how women reflect back our true selves, and why building community is a non-negotiable for personal growth.

This episode is packed with insights, hard truths, and practical takeaways to help you level up. Tune in—you don’t want to miss it. 🎧
