Our journey began with a shared passion for understanding human behaviour and fostering positive change. Through countless sessions of therapy, coaching, and consulting, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of learning to be more self-aware, and understanding how to be more flexible, adaptable, and resilient.In today's society, traditional notions of masculinity are being challenged and redefined. This book emerges as a beacon of insight and guidance, offering a framework for understanding and cultivating a new kind of masculinity—one that is authentic, empathetic, and accountable. Our journey in writing "Making Good Men Great" has been driven by a profound belief that men have the potential to be compassionate, courageous, and connected.This book is not merely a theoretical exploration; it is a practical blueprint for personal growth and societal transformation. Through thought-provoking insights and actionable advice, we aim to empower men to transcend outdated stereotypes and embrace a more inclusive and holistic vision of manhood.We use the metaphor of surfing as central to our narrative. Just as surfers attune themselves to the rhythms of the ocean, men must learn to navigate the ever-changing currents of gender dynamics with grace and adaptability. Masculinity, like the ocean, is vast, dynamic, and ever-shifting. Our hope is to guide men in riding these waves with skill and integrity."Making Good Men Great" addresses the core issues that impact both women and men: patriarchy and its pervasive influence. We explore how patriarchal values—territoriality, hierarchy, acquisition, competition, and combativeness—shape and often distort the male experience. By redefining these values, we can foster a masculinity that is more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive.In this edition, we emphasise four core goals to enhance men's lives:- Understand the difference between unhealthy masculinity and being healthy- Being the best man you can be in a relationship with yourself.- Being a great man in your relationships with others.- Being a great leader in the company of men.These goals are essential for men seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life. We delve into the psychological and social challenges men face today, from mental health struggles to evolving gender roles. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and history, we provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a man in today's world."Making Good Men Great" is more than just a book; it's a call to action. It encourages men to embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective transformation, fostering a world where men are celebrated for their compassion, integrity, and dedication to positive change.

Our journey began with a shared passion for understanding human behaviour and fostering positive change.

In today's special episode of our podcast, we felt a calling to deviate from our usual content and shine some attention to domestic violence. Earlier today, Tracey received a text from a client who needed to chat urgently. As Tracey has mentioned before, she has the privilege of working with people who have and do live with tremendous and unimaginable traumas. Kaitlin is one and today she said enough. Today she said I am ready.Spirit immediately guided Tracey to ask her to share her story via the podcast. Part of what a spiritual journey involves is an awareness that your pain is not just yours and therefore does not just serve you. If you are a healer blueprint, another HUGE part of it, is that your role as a healer will almost always be directly related to your pain.Kaitlin rang Tracey to tell her is ready, she joins us today to speak to, educate us on and move forward with graceful courage.In Australia- 43 women were killed in 2021. More than half were mothers.8 women have been killed this year.So far today, police would have dealt with an average of 534 DV matters in Australia alone. 1 in 6 are women, 1 in 16 are men.Australian Support ServicesIf you're in immediate danger, call 000White RibbonThe White Ribbon Australia movement works through a primary prevention approach in communities, schools and workplaces across the country.

Our confessions form (which you can submit to here) has been overflowing with hilarious stories lately, and there's one type of experience that we keep getting over and over...people vomiting on d**ks. It's inspired us to release this bumper episode on all things oral sex. Lucy tells us about her first experience giving head (if you can call it that), plus we read some of our audiences funniest stories, before giving some tips for going down on both penis and vulva owners, sans vomit. Finally, Em reads a Dating Diary story about someone who went on a date and ended up paying for it, dearly.

Have you heard of 'meditative orgasms'? They're orgasms you can achieve with your mind, without touching your genitals at all. Emily gave it a go and the results were, well, explosive. She describes exactly how to achieve this "12/10 experience". Plus, a tweet about the weirdest thing we've gotten in trouble for at work had Em and Lucy laughing, and reflecting on times they've gotten in trouble (perhaps deservedly) in the workplace, and Em reads an anonymous dating story from a listener who saw right through a first date's weird lie.

On the 11th of October, it's the International Day of The Girl, our favourite day of the year. To celebrate, Emily and Lucy chat about advice they'd give their younger selves, from "you've got this", to "don't dye your sideburns". Plus, what does your phone's note app say about you? Some people use it for shopping lists, but some of us use it to draft break up messages, write down their manifestations, or pass on silent messages to people. Em breaks down the four types of people based upon their phone notes. And we read out an anonymous confession from a listener who's period sex ended up with her partner holding a pair of tongs...

There are two types of friends, and Emily and Lucy are opposites. Emily believes in friendship minimalism; culling friends that don't spark joy. However Lucy disagrees, and reckons that friends from all walks of life can be valuable. Which one are you? Plus, we dissect the '75 HARD' challenge that has been making the rounds on TikTok for what it really is; disordered eating. Lucy opens up about her experience in this area, and why this challenge is more dangerous than it seems. And on Dating Diary, Emily reads an anonymous dating story about a bad date that had her crying laughing. The End Bits Visit The Butterfly Foundation or call 1800 33 4673. Watch Squid Game.

This week, we had a listener contact us about this feeling they had that this pandemic had stolen a huge part of their 20s, and we have to agree. Our 20s are meant to be a time of traveling, hooking up and making mistakes, so how do we reconcile the loss of that? And is there anything we've gained instead? Also, we bring you a bumper recommendation segment of all our favourite sex accessories, from lube, to lingerie, to glass dildos and something called a Drip Stick. Plus, we hear a listener confession about a date that ended in a soggy bed and a pillow fort.

Most of the country has been in lockdown for a while now, but we don't want to stop dating or having sex, so we're resorting to dating on FaceTime. But it can be daunting. Lucy dated her boyfriend for months via FaceTime before meeting, so has some tips for breaking the ice when you're separated by a screen, plus some virtual date ideas and ways to get freaky via your phone. We also discuss what happened when a prominent influencer and journalist posted an offensive story on her Instagram last week, and how she should have apologised, and Em tells the story of the first, and last time she tried getting kinky in the bedroom.

What makes you decide to hit that unfollow button on Instagram? With a certain big Australian influencer losing followers by the tens of thousands due to her anti-vax views, we thought we'd dive into what makes us switch off from wanting to see someone's content. Plus, have you heard of the Girlboss? Well, she's dead. The girlboss was everywhere a few years ago, but after the fall of many high profile female CEOs, we're rejecting the girlboss for good.

How many besties do you have? One, or a bunch? Emily is looking for her one true best friend, but Lucy reckons you can have as many as you want. Plus, we discuss Instagram's move to get rid of it's 'swipe up' story feature for people with 10k+ followers and how it might (or might not) democratise the platform more, and we answer a listener confession from someone who is concerned that they haven't been in love by 22...

Did you go through an 'awkward phase'? Usually between about 10 and 16, it might have involved questionable make up, clothes we thought were cool, and a stack of photos we wish we could bury. But young Gen Z kids seem to be skipping this phase altogether thanks to social media, and we're not sure that's a good thing. Plus, we discuss a feature on Tinder that asks people if they're sure before sending an abusive message, and Lucy and Em want to know if this is just protecting the wrong people, and we break down an anonymous confession from someone wondering if they're shallow after a date didn't meet basic hygiene standards.

Lucy reckons there's two types of people in lockdown: those who save and those who shop. If you are the latter you have probably made some great purchases, and not so great. Lucy and Em talk round up our listener's best and worst lockdown purchases so far. Plus, we speak to Mamamia's Head of People and Culture, Nicolle Stuart, about exactly how to ask for a mental health day at work, and answer a listener dilemma from someone who can't seem to get past the first date.
