Naked Reality
43 episodes - English - Latest episode: 8 months ago -Naked Reality
An ever-growing and evolving podcast and platform for giving people the opportunity to speak and share from the heart.
Sonz of Gaia is an organisation that started in late 2022 aimed and to support men in their walk through life. We are about masculine connection, embodiment and grounded growth. We utilize the power of ceremony, rituals, and sacred spaces to give men the opportunity to step into themselves and add to the brotherhood of grounded and humble men. We connect through the ways of our ancestors that used the earth to navigate their way through life.
We talk to all people from all walks of life about the Naked Reality that is life.
Started in 2019 by Joey O'Dell (Instagram: @joeypeacefulwarrior) the podcast talks to everyday people about their battles with mental health, their lives and situations that may help others out there suffering from similar situations. The lack of real conversations about mental health is a dilemma that leaves people suffering, thinking they are all alone, with no way out.
Naked Reality aims to break this dilemma and give listeners out there a way to feel there is a way out of the darkness.
Naked Reality started out under a different name, but due to the out there title, we decided to change it to help spread the message even further.
