Which Of The 18 Masculine Archetypes Are You?

How Men Over 35 Rebuild Strength, Identity, and Purpose

Most men don’t struggle because they’re weak.
They struggle because they’re misaligned.

They’re training like one archetype while living like another.
They’re carrying responsibilities that don’t match their nature.
They’re trying to be everything — and end up feeling like nothing.

Your archetype is the pattern beneath your habits, your instincts, your discipline, your fire, and your shadows.
It’s not a personality test.
It’s a mirror.

When you know your archetype, everything sharpens:

• Your training becomes purposeful

• Your discipline becomes natural

• Your confidence becomes grounded

• Your identity becomes clear

• Your goals stop fighting your nature
