Embodied Writing Warrior: Food Freedom, Creativity & Spiritual Reclamation

177. The Alignment Blueprint: Values, Fatherhood, and Finding Your Zone Of Excellence (With Caleb Nelson)

Kayla MacDonald

In this heart-expanding conversation, Caleb Nelson returns to the podcast - this time under its new Embodied Writing Warrior identity. 

Since his last visit, life has brought him into a brand new role: fatherhood. And he shows up for it with rawness, depth, and grounded love. From midnight cries as mirrors for our shadows to a dinner table moment that revealed generations of pain in real time, this episode is a rich tapestry of healing, growth, and redefinition.

Caleb shares his signature “Alignment Blueprint,” reflects on being a stay-at-home dad, and speaks to what it really means to embody the sacred masculine. This one’s for the cycle breakers, the dads doing the inner work, and anyone healing their relationship with masculinity - inside or out.
