Hey there, I’m Weston Michael McWhorter (yes, it’s a mouthful—some of my old homies still call me ‘Wes,’ but I’ve been reclaiming the full version because I like living things in full). I help people navigate seasons of transformation and change—inner and outer—with grounded tools, embodied practice, and honest conversation. My work blends meditation and mindfulness, values-based leadership, and nature-rooted wisdom to help you live with more purpose, presence, and power.
What I do—and why
Some of the roles I’ve come to identify with over the years are coach and men’s work facilitator, writer, meditation guide, podcaster, musician & songwriter, and competitive endurance athlete. I’m also formally trained as a Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher (School of Positive Transformation), a Certified Health Coach (Institute for Integrative Nutrition, IIN) and in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy (The Embody Lab). I support folks in transition—founders, creators, and everyday humans—who want to move from survival to aligned action.
- Coaching & Facilitation: 1:1 and small-group coaching for clarity, accountability, and real-world change
- Meditation: Weekly meditations and series on Insight Timer
- Podcasting: This Life Without Limits Podcast—conversations and solo episodes on self-mastery, leadership, and healing
- Music & songwriting: creative work that supports embodiment and expression; my past projects are Colorhouse (1997-2005) and The Mercury Stars (1999-2006)
- Transformational Support: Articles, episodes, and resources on transformational embodiment
I’m not here to dazzle you with jargon. I offer simple practices, rigorous honesty, and steady partnership—so you can lead yourself well and build a life that actually fits.
Philosophy: Transformational Embodiment
Transformation lives in the body first, then the family, community and world. I support my clients throughout the journey from:
- Awareness – notice sensations, emotions, thoughts (without a courtroom);
- Alignment – translate values into language, boundaries, and calendar blocks;
- Action – take simple, repeatable steps that compound over time.

The longer story…
For decades, I tried to outrun myself and my pain. Work became identity, achievement became a never-ending chase, and I kept thinking the next title, the next city, the next relationship would finally make me whole. On paper, I was doing fine—building brands and digital products, leading creative teams, throwing huge events, launching things. But inside, I was completely unraveling. I coped with stress by muscling through, numbing out, and calling it “grit or resilience.” It cost me: divorce, a shuttered small business I loved, seemingly insurmountable debt, and a nervous system that never found peace.
The month that changed my trajectory (2019)
In my 47th year, I took the wheel and left town for a month. Sunrise bike rides in the Blue Ridge and Adirondacks, a men’s retreat in Maine, old friends in Vermont, the Front Range’s big skies, and a shadow-work weekend in Arizona. The road was my church: the bike, the silence, the long highways that strip your stories down to their studs. I didn’t come home “fixed.” I came home honest, and more connected to my heart. And honesty and connection is where transformation can begin to take root.
True healing is not the fixing of the broken, but the rediscovery of the unbroken.

Illness as a teacher
In the spring of 2024, a head-and-neck cancer diagnosis brought everything into sharper relief. Treatment demanded presence and humility; recovery demanded patience. I learned to move at the pace of my nervous system, to ask for help, and to let the small daily practices matter more than the grand gesture. I won’t romanticize it. But I will say this: illness stripped away the nonessential and left me with a simpler question—What does it mean to live a conscious, intentional, present and values-aligned life? Most of my coaching flows from that question.
What I practice now (and what I offer)
I’m not into wellness hacks, shortcuts or quick-fixes. But I am into supporting individuals along their journey of personal discovery, growth and transformation. I help people come home to themselves and then build a life around that homecoming.
- Embodiment first. The body tells the truth. We learn to listen—breathwork, mindful movement, basic nervous-system skills.
- Values to verbs. We translate what matters into language, boundaries, and calendar blocks you can keep.
- Small, repeatable actions. Progress compounds. We design steps that survive real life. Durable and accessible.
- Honest reflection. We work with what’s present—grief, anger, hope—without turning it into a performance.
If you want a feel for the work, explore my Meditation & Mindfulness or book a 30-minute discovery call. (You can also find my weekly sessions on Insight Timer or connect with me on LinkedIn.)
Where I come from
I’m a father to two incredible humans (Abigail and Arlo), a partner, a son, a brother, and a friend. I’ve worn a lot of professional hats—creative leadership, product work, brand building. The golden thread of my life is this: I love helping people make meaning and move something that matters from idea to reality.
Creative and athletic practice keep me honest. Music sharpens my listening; sport teaches discipline, pacing, and recovery; podcasting keeps me in conversation with real people doing real work. I’ve known the quiet relief of getting back on the bike after losing my way, the sting of making amends, and the steadiness that comes from choosing presence over performance. I lean on nature as a mentor. I believe community is a form of medicine. And I think accountability is an act of love.
What clients often tell me they relate to
- Real life, not guru life. I’m not here to be impressive. I’m here to be useful.
- Steady, not splashy. We make simple changes you can keep when life gets loud.
- Grace + grit. We honor your humanity and your agency—both matter.
- Clear language. No mysticism required (unless you want it). Practical tools, plain talk.
- Care. I actually care how you’re doing. That shouldn’t be rare, but it is.
Why this matters to you
You don’t need a brand-new life to live differently. You need a way to meet your current life with more awareness, alignment, and action. That’s the work. It’s not glamorous, but it’s good. And it holds—especially in seasons of transition, healing, or reinvention.
Who I work with
- People in threshold moments: career change, loss, illness, creative reinvention.
- Founders/creatives seeking values-aligned leadership (without burning out).
- Men ready to cultivate emotional honesty, integrity, and courage.
If you’re navigating health challenges, I bring lived empathy, structure, and steady presence. We go at the pace of your nervous system—no performance pressure, just real progress.
