62: EVRYMAN Belongs With Mike Sagun

If you've ever felt like you couldn't be fully self-expressed, are lying to yourself and the world about who you truly are, and are searching for a role model of a man who's found people and community who embrace and love him for who he truly is, this is the podcast for you.

I strongly believe that this episode featuring Mike Sagun, who teaches stressed out men how to find calm in their lives, is a turning point for the Circle Up Podcast. A shedding of our old skin and a leveling up in our commitment to serving men, their families, and our communities. Mike is an absolute super star and we know that his authentic presence here sharing his story of rejection and masking his true identity before being fully embraced as a man is a true testament to the power of this work and we couldn't be more grateful to have him share his expertise, passion, and actionable best practices with us.

Mike is a certified professional men’s coach. He has a BA in Education and spent 10 years as a teaching artist coaching young people. He trained with Challenge Day, Lincoln Center Education in NYC, Bi-Jingo, Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), and EVRYMAN. In 2017, Mike delivered a TEDx Talk about the significance for young people to have trusted adults in their lives.   Recognizing the impact and importance of deep emotional health propelled him into his coaching career. After graduating from CTI, Mike launched his coaching practice with the purpose of creating safe spaces for men to think deeply about themselves and develop emotional awareness. Since then, Mike has partnered with companies like DropBox, LinkedIn, Google, Kaiser Permanente, TATLAB, BBXX, and Saje Wellness. Mike also partners with EVRYMAN, where he hosts men’s groups, facilitates men’s retreats, and coaches men in the community.

The foundation of Mike’s work is based in somatics and emotional awareness. He guides and teaches men to return to their bodies through breathwork, meditation, and powerful open ended questions that inspire self-discovery. When men learn to slow down and listen to their intuition, their internal wisdom becomes more accessible. From here, men respond to their lives constructively rather than reacting destructively.
