A bit of a different one today. I wanted to explroe something that’s been on my mind, but not be glued to my desk (with my fancy microphone). So if you’re listening to this one, you’re on a walk with me.One of the things I pretty much al...

Bear with me here. I had some notes on something I was going to record about, but really just didn’t feel it. So then I took another idea I’d been kicking around, and decided to record that. 10 minutes in: nope.So, I de...

CW: Themes of sexual violence and abuse.This is a different kind of episode from what I've done in the past. While I typically talk about male conditioning and issues around masculinity, this one is quite specific: talking about male su...

A follow up to last week's episode: why is it  that we often behave that way? What was going on in me that I'd be such a dick sometimes to my friend? As I said in this episode: I chalked it up to masculinity, and I chalked...

A nice and short one for spring!We had a great Seattle Men's Circle Happy Hour this past Monday, which was refreshing after the first one we did in February. In this episode I chat a bit about why that might be—what we did differently t...

So, another short one. Yet, one that touches on something I’ve been thinking a lot about: what does it look like to just feel what we are feeling?Not try to change it. Not try to “fix” it. Not try to get over it.Just feel...

Rejection. Or, at least, perceived rejection. How do you experience it?That’s where I went in this episode. First, however, I had to pay tribute to the fact that I’m hitting the three year anniversary of starting the me...

A short and sweet one. Well, definitely short. Not sure how sweet.There are some things in here that I’ve been wanting to say for a while, but haven’t quite been sure how to. There’s a lot more to unpack about it for sure. For now, I wan...

I had a bunch of notes on what I was going to talk about today, but wasn't really feeling any of it. Instead, I decided to talk about the pace that we are moving. What pace can we do this work? Work that is often about healing, about connecting...

What’s the vision of masculinity that you received as you were growing up? Odds are, it’s not actually attainable.In this episode, I chatted with a friend I made when I (admittedly a bit embarrassingly) played around with the audio app <...
