Become the
You Were Born to Be.

Rewire your nervous system, align with natures rhythms, and master creative energy—through a proven system of coaching, deep work, and immersive retreats.

It’s forged in the fire of discipline, purpose, and love.

A man's legacy isn't built in comfort

Quit Settling. Quit Drifting.
Forge Your Path.

You swear this time will be different—but the same distractions pull you back in.

Drained, scattered, and disconnected, you’re only half-present for the people who matter most.

Success hasn’t solved it—your health, focus, and relationships still suffer.

The years slip by, and real fulfillment stays just out of reach….

But this isn’t who you are—and it’s not how your story ends.

You’re here because you’re done waiting. It’s time to break the cycle, do the work, and reclaim the life you were meant to live.

    “Working with Michael during our private retreat was nothing short of transformative. His guidance and the serene environment of the retreat provided a profound reconnection. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone seeking to reconnect with themselves and find solace in the beauty of life.”

Imagine waking up clear, energized, and fully present. No more fog, no more guilt—just sharp focus and real connection. Your wife feels it, your kids see it—the real you, fully engaged. Work thrives, but it no longer owns you. You’ve forged your freedom, and now you’re building a legacy. This is what awaits you on the other side of real transformation.

Here’s how we make it happen.

  • Master Your Mind & Discipline

    Sharpen your focus, clear brain fog, and take full control of your habits and environment. By training your nervous system, reducing overstimulation, and developing structured discipline, you lead with intention instead of reacting to life. A strong mind creates strong decisions, presence, and leadership.

  • Break Free & Reclaim Energy

    Eliminate distractions—drugs, porn, social media—that hijack your focus and drain your vitality. Through dopamine reset, nervous system rewiring, and circadian alignment, you restore clarity, discipline, and deep energy. No more numbing out—just full presence for your wife, kids, and mission.

    Be fully engaged with your wife and kids, not just physically present but emotionally available. By breaking free from distractions and rewiring your nervous system, you regain the ability to lead, love, and connect deeply. Your family won’t just notice the change—they’ll feel it

    Stop ignoring the signals—low energy, brain fog, and persistent health issues don’t fix themselves. By optimizing nutrition, movement, recovery, and your environment, you reclaim control over your body’s strength and longevity. True wellness isn’t handed to you—it’s forged through discipline and ownership.

  • Align with Nature's Rhythms

    Sync your body and mind with the cycles of the natural world for lasting clarity and energy. Through optimized sleep, light exposure, movement, breathwork, and grounding, you restore balance and resilience. Living in rhythm with nature sharpens your leadership and deepens your presence.

  • Heal & Integrate the Past

    Break free from the wounds, fears, and patterns that keep you stuck. Using a trauma-informed approach, we’ll address what’s holding you back—so you can reclaim your strength, trust yourself fully, and move forward with clarity and purpose. True freedom comes from a healed foundation.

  • Strengthen Body & Masculinity

    Rebuild physical strength, vitality, and drive through training, sexual energy mastery, and nervous system resilience. By trusting your body’s intelligence and removing energy-draining habits, you reclaim your natural masculine power. A strong man creates a strong family—your presence will be deeply felt.

  • Shift from Consuming to Creating

    Stop wasting time on distractions and start building something real—whether it’s your marriage, business, or personal mission. By mastering your creative energy, you direct your focus into meaningful action. A man who creates leads, and a leader leaves a legacy.

  • Forge Your Legacy

    Step fully into your role as a father, husband, and leader with unshakable confidence. By mastering your energy, discipline, and environment, you build a life that inspires and uplifts those around you. Your actions today will shape generations—what will your legacy be?

I'm Ready!

Hi, I'm Michael Harbin

Welcome to the Forge

I help men in their 20s and 30s break free from distraction, reclaim their energy, and lead with clarity and purpose. As a husband and father, I know the weight of responsibility—and the cost of being disconnected. My own journey through addiction and transformation has given me the firsthand experience to guide others toward real change.

My work draws from regenerative health, nervous system science, and ancient healing traditions. As a regenerative health coach and shamanic practitioner, I combine modern insights with time-tested wisdom—helping men restore their strength, focus, and leadership from the inside out.

This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about rewiring your nervous system, mastering discipline, and stepping fully into the man you were meant to be—for yourself, your family, and the legacy you’re building.

This work isn’t easy—but nothing worthwhile is. Together, we’ll break old patterns, sharpen your focus, and build a life of strength, presence, and deep fulfillment.

My Experience & Methods

Toolkit To Transform

Real transformation requires a comprehensive approach—one that goes beyond just habits or mindset shifts. I work with the whole man—his body, mind, nervous system, and relationships—to create deep, lasting change.

Drawing from over a decade of experience, I integrate a powerful blend of modern science, ancient wisdom, and practical coaching to move you closer to your goals.

Key Areas of Work:

  • Addiction Recovery & Nervous System Regulation – Break free from cycles of distraction, overstimulation, and numbing behaviors.
  • Regenerative Health & Chronic Disease – Reclaim vitality and longevity by addressing the root causes of low energy, inflammation, and imbalance.
  • Mastering Sexual Energy – Transform destructive habits into focused drive, deeper intimacy, and true masculine power.
  • Trauma-Informed Healing – Resolve past wounds, inner-child patterns, and emotional blocks that hold you back.
  • Somatic Integration – Ensure lasting change by embodying transformation, rather than letting it fade into just another experience.
  • Masculine Leadership & Accountability – Strengthen your presence, deepen intimacy, and lead with clarity in your relationships, business, and family.
  • Spiritual & Emotional Growth – Develop self-trust, resilience, and a vision for your legacy.
  • Plant Medicine & Shamanic Healing – Breakthrough experiences that accelerate transformation when done with intention. I grow my own plants and work within a lineage to ensure integrity and depth.

Other core methods include breathwork, plant medicine integration, non-violent communication, and shadow work—all designed to forge the man you were meant to be.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How is this different from other coaching programs?

    Most programs rely on one or two methods—maybe mindset shifts, habits, or cold showers. But real transformation requires addressing every part of you—your nervous system, emotions, body, relationships, beliefs, environment, and how you process stress and trauma. Few understand that stress and trauma are stored in your muscles and tissues and must be liberated somatically, not just talked through.

    And here’s the hard truth: most coaches don’t walk the walk. They talk about discipline while numbing out with food, porn, or work. They sell “high performance” while running on caffeine and stress. They teach relationships while living in broken ones.

    Everything I teach, I have lived and implemented in my own life. No shortcuts, no contradictions. Just a proven, structured process that gets results.

    This work requires more than just “showing up.” It requires full commitment. Every detail of your life matters—your habits, your body, your environment, and your energy. This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building something real.

    Most coaching programs give you more information—but information isn’t what you need. You need action. You need a process that rewires your system from the inside out, not just another set of mindset hacks or motivational inspiration.

    This isn’t about positive reinforcement or telling you that everything is okay. It’s about confronting reality and doing the deep work to reclaim your energy, presence, and leadership.

  • What happens in the 7-day Costa Rica retreat?

    This retreat is a full reset—a chance to step away from the noise, strip away distractions, and reconnect with yourself at the deepest level. Set in the secluded southern jungle of Costa Rica, this immersive experience is designed for healing, clarity, and lasting transformation.

    Here’s what you can expect:

    • Two private plant medicine ceremonies with me – I bring over a decade of experience working with these sacred plants, growing them myself, and facilitating deep healing through shamanic practices. This is not a casual experience—it’s a guided journey into the core of what’s been holding you back.
    • Nervous system recalibration – Through breathwork, movement, fasting, and nature immersion, we’ll reset your body’s stress responses and restore deep energy.
    • Somatic & emotional release work – You’ll clear out stored tension, break through limiting patterns, and liberate the energy trapped in your body.
    • Time in deep nature – You’ll spend full days immersed in the jungle, away from artificial stimulation, reconnecting with the rhythms of the earth.
    • Post-ceremony integration – Breakthroughs mean nothing if they don’t take root in your daily life. We’ll ensure that what you gain here becomes part of who you are—not just something you felt for a few days.

    This is where everything shifts—where you move past theory and step fully into the man you are meant to be.

  • I’ve already achieved success. Is this for me?

    Success in business or career doesn’t always mean success in health, relationships, or personal fulfillment. Many high-achieving men find themselves exhausted, disconnected, and running on fumes, even as their outward accomplishments grow.

    This program isn’t just for men who are struggling—it’s for men who refuse to settle. It’s for those who know that true success isn’t just about what you build—it’s about how you feel, how you lead, and the legacy you leave behind.

    If you’re battling low energy, brain fog, or chronic health issues that traditional approaches haven’t resolved, this work will help you uncover and address the root causes. If you’re doing well but feel like something is missing—your energy, presence, or deeper purpose—this is the missing piece. It’s about aligning your success with vitality, deep relationships & connections, and a future you’re proud of.

  • What kind of results can I expect?

    This process will help you rediscover yourself by stripping away distractions, conditioning, and old patterns that have kept you stuck. You’ll cultivate inner peace, moving through life with clarity, confidence, and a deep sense of purpose.

    Expect more energy, sharper focus, and mental clarity as you eliminate brain fog, fatigue, and overstimulation. You’ll break free from numbing behaviors—porn, social media, workaholism—and reclaim control over your time and attention. Your relationships will transform as you become fully present with your wife and kids, leading with strength, depth, and presence.

    Most importantly, you’ll step fully into your role as a father, husband, and leader—not just going through the motions, but embodying the discipline and clarity needed to build a lasting legacy. This isn’t just about self-improvement—it’s about becoming the man you were meant to be.

  • I have a family and a busy life. Will this work for me?

    Yes. This program is built for men who have real responsibilities—fathers, husbands, and business owners. It’s not about checking out of life—it’s about showing up fully in the life you already have. You’ll be integrating the work into your daily routines, so your family and work will actually feel the benefits as you grow in presence, leadership, and energy.

    For the Costa Rica retreat, you have the option to bring your family with you if you like. While we do the deep work together, they can enjoy the jungle, the river, and the peaceful environment. We also offer family retreats led by my wife and me, if you’re looking to share some of this experience with your whole family.

    This isn’t about escaping your life—it’s about transforming within it, so you return home as a stronger, more present leader for the people who matter most.

  • How much does the program cost?

    The real question isn’t “How much does this cost?”—it’s “What is the cost of staying the same?”

    Every day you operate at half-capacity—distracted, drained, and disconnected—you’re paying a price. In your relationships. In your health. In your leadership. In your ability to create and build. The men who step into this work don’t see it as a transaction—they see it as a commitment to reclaiming their power, energy, and purpose.

    The investment varies based on the level of support you choose, and payment plans are available. We’ll go over the details during your Clarity Call, ensuring it’s the right fit for you.

    If now isn’t the right time, I get it. When you’re truly ready to do the work, you’ll know—and I’ll be here when that time comes.
