Shocktober continues with Marina de Van's unnerving and unforgettable In My Skin (Dans ma peau, 2002). Written, directed by, and starring de Van, the film follows Esther, a successful marketing executive whose accidental leg injury opens a darkly intimate portal to obsession and self-discovery. As she becomes fixated on her own wound, Esther's relationship with her body—and reality itself—begins to unravel in a visceral exploration of autonomy, alienation, and flesh as frontier.Axel Kohagen and Ben Buckingham join Mike for a deep dive into de Van's fearless vision, its connection to the New French Extremity, and the uneasy beauty found beneath the skin.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin sits down with meditation teacher and social entrepreneur Dr. Fleet Maull to explore how Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness (NSM) intersects with psychedelic therapy. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-324/?ref=278  Fleet shares his journey from a 14-year federal prison sentence—where he founded the first prison hospice program and led daily meditation groups—to developing NSM, a radically embodied, neuroscience- and trauma-informed approach to practice. He explains how NSM trains five key brain networks, why embodiment quiets a noisy mind more reliably than “thinking about” the breath, and how pairing NSM with ketamine or psilocybin can help shift insights from state to trait. The conversation offers a grounded roadmap for practitioners and seekers who want deeper stability, safety, and integration in expanded-state work. Fleet Maull, PhD, CMT-P is an author, meditation teacher, mindset coach, and social entrepreneur working at the intersection of personal and social transformation. He is the founder & CEO of Heart Mind Institute, which integrates Western science with contemplative wisdom across trauma healing, resilience, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and conscious entrepreneurship. While serving a 14-year federal sentence (1985–1999), he founded Prison Mindfulness Institute and National Prison Hospice Association, catalyzing national movements in contemplative rehabilitation and end-of-life care. A senior Dharma teacher in Tibetan Buddhism and a Zen Roshi, Dr. Maull developed Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness (NSM), a deeply embodied, trauma-informed practice for healing and awakening. *This October 14–19, 2025, Paul will also co-host Heart Mind Institute's free online Microdosing & Psychedelic Retreats Summit, featuring 35+ global leaders including Paul Stamets, Deepak Chopra, and James Fadiman.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty digs into Future Self Psychology with coach Alyssa Sharp (A Sharp Coach). We break down the difference between visualizing success and embodying it, how to shift out of survival mode, and a simple daily practice to make decisions from clarity rather than fear. You'll hear real client wins, why “pretending” isn't the point, and how identity drives consistent action for women building freedom-based businesses.Keywords: future self psychology, embodiment, mindset shift, identity, goal setting, confidence, entrepreneurship, women founders, boundaries, breathwork, meditation, resilience, self-love. About the Guest  : Alyssa Sharp is a Future Self life & business coach and former six-figure project manager who left burnout to build a values-aligned, freedom-based business. Through A Sharp Coach, she helps ambitious women embody their future selves to earn more, show up confidently online, and design businesses around the lives they actually want. Key Takeaways : Embodiment beats visualization: Don't just picture success—act from the identity of the person who's achieved it. Plan from possibility, not fear: Ask, “If I already had the result, how would I show up and decide today?” Exit survival mode: Slow down, breathe, and widen attention beyond the “next fire” to re-set priorities. One simple practice: Take three deep breaths and ask, “If everything I want were true, what would I choose right now?” Mindset, not make-believe: Borrow the thinking of your future self without ignoring current constraints (e.g., steward $10 as a future millionaire would). Identity drives action: “I am a writer; therefore I write”—identity statements unlock consistent behavior. Unexpected win: Embodiment builds self-respect and authentic presence online—confidence compounds. Design for life first: Structure the business around what matters (e.g., protected family seasons), then align offers and operations.

Amanda first came into my world as a client alongside her husband Brandon, when their marriage was on the brink. Now, years later, she's circled back as not only a dear friend but also an Allana Pratt Method Coach, still thriving in her marriage. The work works! It was such a joy to feature her IN PERSON on the podcast! (such a sassy new hairstyle! xox)  In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, we explored… -How Amanda and Brandon “burned down” their first marriage after infidelity and chaos, and rebuilt a brand-new foundation based on forgiveness, newfound trust, honesty, and agreements that work.  -The communication tools that saved their relationship, such as Dyads, assume the best in your partner, and own your part without blame or defensiveness. -How self-expression (from purple hair to pole dancing) reconnected Amanda to her body and gave her the courage to reclaim her individuality and embodiment.  -The importance of self-time and intentional weekends, especially while raising kids and balancing busy schedules (like their 18th anniversary dinner!) -The powerful role Annual Intimacy Retreats and follow up coaching played, not just in saving their marriage but in creating a vision of legacy for their children. -Amanda's transformation from feeling “swirly” and disconnected to becoming a teacher, mom, wife, and coach who models calm, grace, and resilience. Go Amanda! -This conversation is a testament to how, when two people commit to the work, the ashes of a broken marriage can transform into the fertile soil of lasting love. Having a coach like me who believed in them when most everyone else didn't… was the bedrock they needed to do the deep work that worked. Amanda and Brandon just celebrated 18 years together, and their future is about building a legacy of safety, connection, and joy for their kids.  ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!   Schedule your Intimacy Breakthrough Experience with me today https://allanapratt.com/connect Scholarship Code: READYNOW ________________________________________________________ ❤️ Finding the One is Bullsh*t.

Government leaders, the ultra wealthy who need us to work more and more and more for less and less wages. And I think you can ask a similar question about memory. Who in this country benefits from our forgetting? There are systems that have everything to gain from our disembodiment, just as there are systems that have everything to gain from this willful amnesia." -Cole Arthur Riley Cole Arthur Riley You can find more of Cole Arthur Riley on Instagram @blackliturgies, on Facebook @blackliturgist, and at her website, colearthurriley.com.

In this episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, Ali speaks with guest Rahi Chun, a somatic sex educator, in a wide-ranging conversation about the deep connections between sexuality, embodiment, trauma, and healing. They discuss how cultural conditioning, lack of education, and past experiences can create physical and emotional barriers to pleasure, and explore practical approaches - like fostering safety, consent, and self-awareness - to help individuals and couples reconnect as bodies. The episode highlights the importance of non-judgment, the healing potential of conscious touch and communication, and the ongoing journey toward greater intimacy, self-acceptance, and body brilliance.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE RAHI CHUN:BIO:Rahi combines his training and experience as a CA state-certified Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker, Certified TRE Provider, NeuroAffective Touch Practitioner, Life Coach with an M.A. in Spiritual Psychology, with certifications in Family Constellations Therapy, DeArmouring Arts, Chi Nei Tsang & Karsai Nei Tsang, and STREAM (Scar Tissue Remediation and Management) in his facilitation of Somatic Sexual Wholeness.  His expertise is in the art of Genital Dearmouring having trained practitioners worldwide.  Hundreds have also graduated from his signature online course, "The 3 Keys to Genital Dearmouring" or via his live trainings and workshops.  SITE:  https://somaticsexualwholeness.com/.

She is often depicted as fierce, with multiple arms holding a sword and a severed head, but can also be seen as a nurturing mother figure. ALI'S NOTE ON FLASHING BACK TO SEXUAL TRAUMA: Rahi and I discuss how feeling safe with a lover can allow, and elicit, the retrieval and “working through” of traumatic memories. This can be an opportunity to move beyond those traumas within a partner's loving presence and compassion. However, just because you are experiencing flashbacks of sexual trauma does not necessarily mean it's because you feel safe. It could also be your body showing you that you are overwhelmed in the situation, or worse, receiving instinctual warnings that that person, place or timing isn't right for you. Ultimately, it's so important we keep close to the capacity of our won nervous systems at any given moment or sexual encounter particularly if you have experienced sexual trauma. Can you, and hopefully your partner/s, deeply and kindly be with you, “hold space” for you to express, verbally or emotionally, shake, cry, rage, move? Not all partners are equipped for that. Fortunately, there are brilliant practitioners like Rahi who are.

It's an experiential, solution-focused approach where a client's relationships are represented by other people in a group setting, revealing how unaddressed family traumas or patterns influence the present. By bringing these "unseen dynamics to life," the process aims to foster healing, understanding, and a new sense of connection for the individual and their family.To buy ALi's internationally renowned 5-film documentary film series about FCW visit HEREThe PAVLOVIAN RESPONSE, also known as a conditioned response, refers to a learned, automatic, and involuntary response elicited by a previously neutral stimulus through classical conditioning.

And this is one of the main reasons why so many men have "tried all the techniques" but still struggle with premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and sexual performance anxiety...To overcome these challenges, you HAVE TO do some kind of embodiment practice - in addition to learning the direct sexual techniques that address the sexual "dysfunctions."

Ambivalence isn't confusion or weakness, it's your nervous system doing its job. Feeling both joy and grief, relief and loss, fear and excitement, is not dysfunction but survival wisdom. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace unpack ambivalence as a neurobiological phenomenon: how the brain and body construct emotions, why conflicting truths arise during transformation, and how to metabolize them without collapse. You'll learn to notice the tug-of-war between emotions, expand capacity to sit with duality, and reframe ambivalence as part of post-traumatic growth. By honoring both sides, joy and sorrow, fear and courage, you can create deeper connection with yourself and move through change with clarity and trust.

Why leaving toxic relationships brings both relief and grief. How emotions are constructed in the brain and body. Expanding capacity for emotional regulation and duality. The role of interoception and emotional vocabulary in healing. Transformation and identity shifts as triggers for ambivalence. Attachment needs versus authenticity during change. Why joy and fear often arise together. Practical strategies to metabolize ambivalence and grow. Ambivalence as a gateway to post-traumatic growth.

In this episode of The Human Voice, Bob Hutchins sits down with Baratunde Thurston—Emmy-nominated host, writer, comedian, and creator of the podcast Life With Machines. From his roots in Washington, D.C., shaped by a mother who was a computer programmer and activist, through Harvard philosophy and a decade of stand-up, Baratunde has built a career at the intersection of culture, technology, and storytelling. Their conversation ranges from the everyday signals of progress—like coffee shop Wi-Fi and subway calls—to deeper questions about authorship, language, and governance in the age of AI. They explore what it means to share creative space with an AI collaborator, why indigenous languages reveal new possibilities for machine learning, and how democracy might draw wisdom from traditions that put nature and future generations at the center. Baratunde also shares the simple practices that keep him grounded: meditation, meals with people, moving his body, and spending time in the natural world. Together they sketch a vision where technology doesn't replace our humanity but presses us to return to it with more intention. Themes Infrastructure is culture. Machines can help us think, but they can't carry grief. Language encodes imagination and culture. Governance should begin with shared values, not with chasing releases. Embodiment is non-negotiable for a human life. Where to find Baratunde Life With Machines on YouTube and podcast platforms Website - https://www.baratunde.com/

Healing is definitely NOT about pushing harder, cracking through tension, or forcing pain out. Healing begins with listening—listening to the body's whispers, to the stories held in our nervous system, to the stillness before transformation. Today's guest, Dr. Teri Meyer, is more than a chiropractor with a master's in neuroscience. She is a healer attuned to the subtle language of the body—a quiet revolutionary who bridges science and soul, helping people move from pain into harmony, from contraction into expansion. In this conversation, you'll hear how pain and posture reveal hidden stories, how the nervous system carries both trauma and possibility, and how opening the body expands our capacity to receive life itself. We talk about: Letting go versus holding on Identity shifts and the “messy middle” of change Embodiment practices—from screaming into a pillow to hugging it softly—that create space for healing The unexpected gifts of pain, and how contraction always precedes expansion This is not a conversation about fixing. It's more about gently unfolding. It's about remembering that our bodies know, even when our minds resist. For anyone “walking through the fog,” this episode offers not a quick answer, but gentle companionship on the path back home to yourself. As you listen, notice what lands in your own body. Where do you feel contraction? Where is there space? Stay with it. Healing begins here.

In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, host Dr. John W. Price welcomes Mirabai Starr—acclaimed translator of the mystics, teacher of interspiritual wisdom, and luminous guide to the sacred woven through daily life. Together, they explore the heart of ordinary mysticism: discovering holiness not only in monasteries or mountaintops, but in the tender rhythms of our own existence. Mirabai opens her story with radical honesty—her countercultural Jewish upbringing, alternative education, and the teachers and traditions that shaped her. The conversation turns to how rigid ideas of “being spiritual” can keep us from true intimacy with the divine, and how humility, humor, and embodiment restore us to a living spirituality. Mirabai shares how the death of her teenage daughter became a devastating but sacred initiation, revealing grief as one of the deepest portals into divine love. Moving between ancient voices and her own life, Mirabai offers a mysticism that is fiercely tender, humble, embodied, and accessible to all. This dialogue invites us to see our own lives as sacred ground—woven with loss and beauty, pain and joy, shadow and wonder. Key Takeaways Mysticism is accessible in everyday life, not just in monasteries or religious settings. Rigid religious or cultural ideas of “spirituality” can block authentic spiritual experience. Embodiment and emotions—especially grief—are sacred entry points into deeper connection. Translating the mystics is less about history than entering a living dialogue across time. Friendship, humor, humility, and even money can be part of an integrated spiritual life.

“The most important thing you can do for either spiritual or conventional success is to heal the mother and father wound.”Today, I sit down with my client David Cutler to explore what it truly means to embody the work. David shares openly about his own journey of healing the core wounds that live beneath the surface of so many of our struggles, especially the mother and father wound. He explains how these unconscious patterns shape our self-worth, relationships, and even our ability to succeed in business, and why addressing them is the gateway to accessing our deepest power.We dive into how unresolved insecurity keeps us stuck in cycles of proving, striving, and seeking validation, and how everything begins to shift when we finally turn inward. David shares how internal healing creates inevitable transformation in our external reality, from the way we show up in relationships to the opportunities that flow into our lives.If you've been doing the “work” but still feel blocked, or you're craving a deeper integration of healing that moves beyond the surface, this episode will remind you that real power isn't about fixing yourself, it's about remembering who you are and living from that truth.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSEmbodying the work rather than just talking about itHealing the Mother and Father Wound Insecurity at the Root – How deeper layers of insecurity drive external struggles, and what changes when they're resolvedEmbodiment vs. Performance – The difference between “doing the work” and living the work authenticallyTransformation in Relationships – How internal shifts inevitably reshape external relationships and dynamicsReleasing the Need for Validation – Understanding how healing ends cycles of proving, striving, and approval-seekingAccessing Power Through Presence**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world. My 4-week Unblock Your Business immersion is coming up in October.

Tiffany shares personal anecdotes and practical tips on how to integrate gratitude into daily life, highlighting its role in emotional alignment and personal growth.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEPull up a seat, friend. This one's a heart-to-heart about self-love, self-awareness, and choosing an identity shift that matches the life you're calling in. I'm walking you through how to quiet the noise, own your story, and embody your Main Character Energy—not as a performance, but as a grounded practice that rewires your day for confidence, emotional well-being, and transformation.We're talking vows to yourself, gentle boundaries, and the tiny, repeatable rituals that turn abundance into your climate (not your chase). If you're done outsourcing your worth and ready to like and love who you are—today, not “one day”—this episode hands you the receipts and the rhythm to make it real.By the end, you'll feel clearer, kinder to yourself, and equipped with simple daily actions that make personal growth visible and measurable—because self-love isn't a vibe you hope for; it's a pattern you practice.KEY TAKEAWAYSEmbrace your Main Character Energy to transform your life.Self-love is a commitment, not just a feeling.Quiet time fuels self-awareness and aligned choices.Owning your story empowers you to rewrite your narrative.Vows to yourself create inner safety and confidence.Make self-love visible and measurable in daily actions.Abundance is a climate created by self-acceptance.Liking yourself accelerates personal growth and bold moves.Acknowledge your wins to amplify self-worth.Begin again—gracefully and as many times as you need.CHAPTERS00:00 — The Journey to Self-Love03:05 — The Framework of Love08:02 — Owning Your Story12:19 — The Power of Vows20:53 — Embodiment of Self-Love24:37 — Abundance as a Climate32:43 — The Continuous Journey of Self-Love39:05 — Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: ALIGN & ABOUNDA tiny daily ritual to root in who you're being and make space for who you're becoming. One minute to align your day; two minutes to appreciate and create tomorrow's abundance.STEP 1 — PAUSE & REFLECT (AM): Ask, “Who am I being today?” → Choose one vow-aligned action.STEP 2 — PROOF STACK & PLAN (PM): List 2 wins → write 1 line of self-appreciation → schedule tomorrow's white space (protected margin so good things can land).Together, these two minutes turn self-love from a nice idea into a lived rhythm—less people-pleasing, clearer boundaries, and a steady climate of abundance you can actually feel.

Your body remembers every touch, every rejection, every moment of connection—even when your mind has forgotten. But most of us are living from the neck up, disconnected from our bodies and the wisdom they hold about our desires, boundaries, and authentic selves.In this episode, I'm demystifying embodiment and somatic (body-based) approaches for intimacy issues. I'll break down what it actually means to be embodied (versus disconnected), why your nervous system holds the key to better sex and relationships, and how somatic approaches differ from traditional talk therapy.You'll learn a wee bit of the history of body-based healing—from Wilhelm Reich's "character armor" to modern trauma research—and discover why bottom-up healing (starting with your body) often works better than top-down approaches for intimacy challenges.I'm sharing the 5 specific benefits of getting more embodied: better emotional regulation, real confidence (not performed), authentic relationships, reduced physical tension, and magnetic presence that makes people actually listen when you speak.Plus, practical examples from my practice showing how embodied approaches help with everything from performance anxiety to not knowing what you want sexually. This isn't woo-woo stuff—it's science-backed work that creates real change.Perfect for anyone who's tired of living disconnected from their body and ready to access their full aliveness. Also perfect for anyone who simply wonders "what's the point of being more embodied? Why bother?" Get my free email newsletter with helpful tips, plus a free guide to Finding Your Deepest Turn-Ons, and learn how to work with me at https://laurajurgens.com.

This episode is dedicated to American psychiatrist and author Robert Jay Lifton, who recently passed after decades of research into the psychology of totalism. “Doctrine over person” is one of Lifton's eight criteria of thought reform; it's widely considered to be a defining characteristic of the cultic headspace. But how exactly does it function? Meet T Brown. In 1997, T entered a Sufi group as a free-thinking, openly gay man. But he eventually discarded his personal eccentricities, married a woman, and became a public defender of the group's apolitical, anti-vax ideology. In this episode, T shares how his life became “occupied” by the guru's teachings. When the pandemic gave him the space he needed, T finally separated from the group after 23 years, and the journey of cult recovery began. Five years later, T is completing his doctoral dissertation and is debuting the performance of "A Cult Piece" at the Melbourne Fringe Festival. He tells us how the cult mindset impacted his choices, his family, and his sense of self. And he shares what it was like coming out of the cult (and to his wife) to re-enter the real world, free and disoriented. This episode is a deep dive into the paradox that often defines the journey of cult recovery. The end is just the beginning. Embodiment informs critical thinking. Art imitates life. And audacious self-acceptance slowly and steadily dispels a once all-consuming ideology.Learn more about T Brown by visiting his QuitYourCult YouTube channel.Support the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

In this episode of the Spirit and Soul Podcast, Tiffany Cohen dives deep into the concepts of embodiment and inspired action as essential components of manifestation. She emphasizes that to manifest effectively, one must not only desire their goals but also embody the frequency of those goals. Tiffany discusses the importance of being a willing participant in the manifestation process, overcoming comfort zones, and the power of visualization. She encourages listeners to act as if they have already achieved their desires, highlighting the significance of consistency and the role of affirmations in reprogramming the subconscious mind. Ultimately, Tiffany inspires her audience to embrace their future selves and take actionable steps towards their dreams.

Step into the oldest home you will ever know—your body. This meditation invites you to leave outside the door everything you think embodiment means and enter the living presence of what already is. So often we believe we need to feel a certain way to be whole or fully alive, but true embodiment is simpler—and more accessible—than that. Here, we explore the house of being: a refuge that never moves from the present, even when thoughts pull us through its thought-windows into stories of past and future. Through stillness and imagination, you'll rediscover that aliveness is not something to achieve but something you already are. This practice is for anyone who feels like they inhabit a half-lived life, disconnected, dissociated, and bereft of wholeness, as I have done for most of my life. I hope it offers you a way of relating to your thoughts so you have more access to the Divine - not in spite of the body but because of it! Much Love, SezSupport the show✨ If you'd like to explore more of my work, whilst deepening your connection to the truth of who you are, you can find weekly, unpublished poems & audio essays on my Substack, and find supportive courses on my website and Insight Timer.

In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with GS Youngblood—author of The Masculine in Relationship and The Art of Embodiment for Men. GS brings decades of experience coaching men on leadership in marriage, parenting, and personal growth through his Masculine Blueprint framework. Together, we unpack what it really means to live from your masculine core while creating safety, connection, and trust in your relationships.   We talk about balancing firmness with heart, why composure beats control, and how to provide structure without domination. GS also dives into the importance of embodiment practices for men, how to stop reacting and start responding, and the role of clarity in building intimacy with your partner. This is a conversation about leadership that goes beyond the surface—helping men shift from fear and reactivity into grounded presence and intentional direction.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge movement and introduction to GS Youngblood [1:56] - GS's bestselling books and the Masculine Blueprint framework [2:28] - What it means to live from your masculine core [3:08] - Why composure is more powerful than control in leadership [5:03] - Growing up with an intense father and lessons for parenting [6:23] - Balancing firmness and love with your kids [7:30] - Relational masculinity: strength with empathy [9:21] - The artful blend of clarity and heart in family leadership [12:17] - Clarity as the foundation of effective masculine leadership [13:33] - The “nice guy” trap and why men seek external validation [15:10] - Why grounding your nervous system must come before clarity [16:57] - Daily embodiment practices for staying present and calm [20:06] - Breathwork, meditation, and awareness as tools for men [23:12] - How embodiment reduces fixation and increases intimacy [27:59] - The energetic flow between men and women in communication [30:08] - Renewing curiosity in long-term marriage and intimacy [32:18] - Why women crave being known and understood [33:42] - Emotional safety as the gateway to sexual connection [38:15] - The three parts of the Masculine Blueprint explained [40:07] - Respond vs. react: staying grounded under pressure [44:14] - “You may not be the problem, but you are the solution.” [45:16] - Providing structure without domination—clarity plus inclusion [48:32] - The spectrum of leadership: tenderness to directness [50:01] - Sexual tension, rejection, and how men can hold ground [52:11] - Why sexuality is vulnerable for men and how to own it [54:31] - Avoiding the “hurt boy” response in relationships [56:00] - When women need men to be bigger than their moods [57:44] - Staying grounded when intimacy needs don't align [1:00:12] - The power of presence in building intimacy over time     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Composure Beats Control True masculine leadership isn't about domination—it's about staying grounded, calm, and clear even when emotions run high. 2. Firmness With Heart Creates Trust Children and partners thrive when a man brings clarity and structure without fear. The combination of strength and empathy builds long-term respect. 3. Embodiment Grounds the Nervous System Daily practices like breathwork and meditation keep men from being reactive, helping them lead from presence instead of anxiety or reactivity. 4. Curiosity Keeps Intimacy Alive Long-term relationships require ongoing curiosity. When women feel known and understood, emotional safety deepens—and so does sexual connection. 5. Men Are the Solution Even if you aren't the cause of conflict, you can choose to be the solution. Leadership means stepping up with clarity, direction, and presence to create connection.       LINKS & RESOURCES   GS Youngblood Website: https://gsyoungblood.com The Masculine in Relationship Book: https://gsyoungblood.com/books The Alliance and Boardroom - thedadedge.com/mastermind Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions       If this episode gave you new insight into marriage, masculinity, or fatherhood, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.
