I’m Taylor Ellwood, a men’s coach and facilitator dedicated to helping men reconnect with their sacred masculine power through ritual, somatic play, and deep inner work.

The Modern Man’s Struggle

Being a man in today’s world isn’t easy. Many men wrestle with disempowerment, guilt, and shame around their masculinity. They’re searching for a healthy, empowered way to embody manhood—one that honors their truth while allowing them to show up fully for the people in their lives.

Yet, when men seek rites of passage and the mysteries of masculinity, they often find very little that truly speaks to their deeper need for connection, purpose, and initiation.

I’ve Been Where You Are

I understand these challenges firsthand because I’ve faced them myself. My own journey has been about reclaiming sovereign masculinity on my terms—breaking free from outdated expectations and rediscovering the authentic, empowered man within.

Now, I guide other men through this same transformation. If you’re ready to do the work, step into your power, and uncover the truth of who you are, you don’t have to walk this path alone. Let’s explore this journey together.

I’ve been through two divorces. After my second marriage ended, I moved to a new city, chasing a relationship I wasn’t truly ready for. When that fell apart, I found myself alone, depressed, and directionless—questioning everything. I kept asking myself, Why do I keep messing up my life?

It didn’t help that I was stuck in a dead-end job, delivering food in the evenings, and numbing myself with Netflix and distractions. I wasn’t pursuing my passions. I had few real friends. I felt overworked, miserable, and full of regret.

Then I had a moment of clarity—I could either:

🔹 Keep pitying myself, repeating the same mistakes, jumping into another relationship before I was ready, and settling for an unfulfilling life...

OR

🔹 Take ownership. Stop bouncing from one meaningless job and relationship to the next. Stop playing small with my life and identity.

Why Did I Keep Failing?

Then came the second, more powerful realization:

I was failing because I wasn’t the man I needed to be. I wasn’t showing up for myself. I wasn’t connected to my sacred masculinity. And I had no idea how to embody it.

For most of my life, I believed being a man meant:
❌ Being stoic and withdrawn.
❌ Pretending I had it all together while suppressing my emotions.
❌ Being “in control” of everything—even when my life felt out of control.

But inside? I hated myself. I numbed my unhappiness with Netflix, social media, video games, alcohol, and porn. I was trapped in my own head—replaying my failures but never taking action to change them.

I was spinning in circles, and I needed to stop.

The Journey to True Masculinity

Those two realizations changed my life. They set me on a path to discover what it truly means to be a man. Through deep inner work, I began to:

✅ Heal my past traumas—both sexual and familial.
✅ Redefine my identity as a man—on my own terms.
✅ Build a brotherhood—connecting with other men who had walked the same path.
✅ Pursue what actually fulfilled me—writing, coaching, and reclaiming my purpose.

Most importantly, I stopped playing small.

I launched this coaching practice to help other men like you—men who are feeling lost, living unfulfilling lives, and stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, self-doubt, and quiet frustration.

You don’t have to keep settling. You don’t have to keep shrinking yourself to fit expectations.
