If you’ve ever felt like men are changing… but not fast enough — this episode is for you. The relationship & expectations between men & women is changing rapidly.

We hear this question being echoed in society, a calling forth of a different type of man. But often we do not look at the greater cultural shifts that have left men confused about how what it actually means to be a man, we have lost the traditional roles and now there is a new man needing to emerge.

Many men end up trapped the spirit realms, avoiding emotions and rationalizing our way through life because many spiritual teachings support this.  At some point we realize we are disconnected from life and the only way through is to descend into soul and the feminine realms of life, emotions and body.   In this podcast I go into: - How our unprocessed childhood traumas lead us to disconnect, or e...
