The Troubled Monk

I Am The Troubled Monk — Ryan Donnelly.

Author. Empowerment Coach. Seeker.

This isn’t about perfection. This is about power—your power.

If you’re avoidant—constantly feeling stuck, putting off your own happiness, and waiting for “tomorrow” to finally feel free—then what The Troubled Monk offers is exactly where your healing begins.

Through my books, my podcast, and raw reflections, I guide those brave enough to look inward. I help you crack the surface, spill the truth, and confront what hides in the shadows. With tools like journaling, shadow work, and empowered self-inquiry, I’ve helped others break free from stuck and step into their own power.

The Troubled Monk isn’t just a name—it’s a path.

It’s the chaos and the calm. The fight and the faith. The part of you that’s been silenced, waiting to rise. I don’t offer easy answers—I offer a mirror and a map. And the reminder that your healing doesn’t have to look holy to be sacred.

Here, we don’t chase validation. We trade it for self-respect. We ditch perfection and reclaim wholeness. We give ourselves permission to feel, fall, and f***ing rise.

Welcome, fellow seeker. You’ve been called. Let’s walk through the fire and come out whole.

 

Clarity & Commitment

We'll define your goals and use reflection, journaling, and shadow work to uncover limiting beliefs and patterns. Through journaling prompts, we'll explore your fears and desires, laying the groundwork for real change.

Understanding Your Triggers

We'll dive into shadow work to face suppressed parts of yourself, uncover limiting beliefs, fears, and emotional blocks. Daily journaling will guide your healing process and provide clarity.

Break Free From Being Stuck

We’ll release old patterns through targeted shadow work, focusing on forgiveness and reframing negative beliefs. Journaling will help you document shifts and recognize the power you’ve been waiting to claim.

Reclaiming Your Authenticity

We’ll reconnect you with your true self, exploring self-worth, boundaries, and authentic expression through shadow work. Journaling will help you reclaim your voice and power.

Embodying Your New Truths

We’ll build self-respect and confidence, using shadow work to overcome self-doubt. Your journaling will track progress and celebrate your victories as you step into your power.

Sustaining Your Empowerment

We’ll integrate everything you’ve learned, create a sustainable plan for moving forward, and use shadow work to solidify your transformation. Journaling will help you capture your progress and set your vision for the future.

Making Progress Can Mean Making Enemies

Are you gWe all want to believe that no matter what we choose to do in life we will have the support of both our friends and families. It’s an honest mistake to be sure and it’s a beautiful thought at the core, but it’s not a realistic view to hold onto.etting in your own way?
