All right, so I just got to talk with Melanie Curtin about porn and men, and wow, this is such a deep topic. We covered a lot of ground, from why it's so damn hard to quit to what's actually happening underneath the behavior itself. You know, the thing is, most men I work with...
I just wrapped up a conversation on The Sane and Miraculous podcast that took me right back to where this all started for me. You know, growing up in a house where people just kind of existed together without much real connection, I had no idea how to belong, with women or with men. What...
I showed up on this podcast and got real about one of the most painful moments of my life. The moment on a date in my mid-20s when a woman I liked pushed me away and I completely collapsed into shame. That rejection became a doorway into men's work that changed everything. We talked about...
I just wrapped up a conversation with Melanie Curtin on her podcast Dear Men, digging into why it's so damn hard for men to leave relationships that clearly aren't working. We covered a lot of ground, from the terror of being alone to the identity ...
I've been watching men in my community struggle with a crisis that no one's really talking about openly. We're caught between outdated masculine models that don't serve us and a culture demanding we evolve, but with no clear roadmap for how. In my recent Shadow Corner conversation, I explored the three archetypes most men default...
All right, so I just had a great conversation on the Purple Passion Project podcast with the host. We covered a lot of ground around sex, shame, and why men's groups are so powerful for transformation. One thing we dug into pretty deeply is this pattern I see constantly with the guys I work with....
All right, so I had a chance to sit down with Karen McMahon on her Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, and we got into some real territory about why so many relationships hit the wall. What struck me about this conversation is how much of it comes down to emotional immaturity in men. And I don't...
The most devastating marriages aren't the ones without sex, they're the ones with duty sex. I was on Melanie Curtin's podcast recently talking about something that affects so many men I work with: the painful reality that your partner's body can be present while her desire, her heart, her full presence is completely absent. This...
There's a moment in every man's life where he realizes the armor he's been wearing isn't protecting him anymore, it's suffocating him. I had this powerful conversation with Mista Yu on his show about what happens when we finally start questioning this "man box" we've been squeezed into since childhood. You know the one: be...
There's a moment in every man's life where he realizes he's been living according to someone else's rulebook, performing a version of masculinity that's slowly killing him from the inside out. I just experienced that recognition all over again during my conversation with the Midlife Mavericks crew out of Australia. We went deep into why...
Here's the thing that blew my mind during my conversation on Growth, Grace, and Gratitude: the masculine performance we think is about impressing women is actually almost entirely about proving ourselves to other men. We dug into what masculinity actually means today, and I think we hit some real stuff that challenges everything we assume...
All right, so I was on the Libido Lounge podcast talking about something that hits close to home for me and for so many men I work with. Nice guy syndrome. You know, this pattern where we're constantly putting everyone else's needs first, running these ...
