Embodied Writing Warrior: Food Freedom, Creativity & Spiritual Reclamation

195. From Gigolo To Guru: Nick Eagle on Confidence, Healing, & Personal Responsibility

Kayla MacDonald

In today’s fiery guest episode, I’m joined by Nick Eagle—a man who’s lived many lives: from reality TV star and male escort to spiritual teacher, author, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and PhD in philosophy. Together, we explore his radical transformation and the philosophy behind his Golden Laws of Enlightenment.

This episode isn’t just a conversation—it’s a challenge. Nick brings strong convictions around personal responsibility, health, and truth. Some of his views may activate or even confront you. But if you’re willing to listen with presence, you’ll walk away with clarity, energy, and a deeper connection to your own power.

We talk about:

  • What confidence really is and how to cultivate it from the inside out
  • Why healing doesn’t have to take a long time (and what’s keeping you stuck)
  • The difference between comforting darkness vs. helping it leave
  • His thoughts on “your truth” vs. Truth—and why the distinction matters
  • How he rewrote his entire life story and the specific practices that helped

This episode will resonate especially for anyone feeling stuck in their story, unsure how to evolve, or hungry for grounded conviction. I don’t co-sign every viewpoint—but I welcome courageous conversations. And this one definitely is.
