Podcast appearances and mentions of jason lange

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.Many men struggle with outdated expectations of masculinity, creating disconnection from purpose, relationships, and self while carrying the weight of social norms that no longer serve them. Jason Lange joins us to explore how embracing men's work, uncovering shadow elements, and building supportive relationships can help men reclaim their vitality and purpose.• Shadow work involves making the unconscious conscious, bringing to awareness what might be running your life without your knowledge• The "man box" confines men to behaviors like never showing emotion, never asking for help, and always appearing tough• Studies show men who strongly identify with traditional masculine values are more likely to commit suicide• Loneliness and isolation are as harmful to health as smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes daily• The "fierce, loving masculine heart" offers a third path beyond macho jerk and passive nice guy• Integration of masculine and feminine energies creates wholeness regardless of gender• Community builds resilience—men need other men to model healthy masculinity• Many men push themselves with strategies and goals while ignoring their dysregulated nervous systems• Connection and rest often naturally lead to renewed motivation and energyJoin a men's group or find ways to build deeper connections with other men.

Are you concerned about your lack of experience, whether that's sexually, in a dating context, or time in long-term relationships? Maybe you feel behind in some way, and hesitant or fearful about telling a woman about your level of experience.As Jason says, "For men in particular, it means something about you if you haven't had sex."If it took you a while to start dating, have sex, or get into a relationship (or if, perhaps, you're not there yet as of today), you're not alone!Here we talk through Jason's experience around pursuing ("The hope was a girl would tell me they liked me, and THEN I would feel comfortable to make the move."); dating without a lot of sexual experience (“I was terrified of what a partner would think.”); and journey around overcoming these patterns ("When you have the right system, growth can happen pretty fast!”)Listen on to feel more relaxed and empowered about your dating and relationship experience -- wherever you're starting from.---Memorable quotes from this episode:"All my somatic, unprocessed wounding would come forward.""There's this deep sense of being behind.""If you don't like me, I get hooked on you in a sense.""In my family, we were robots in the same house.""He had people on his team to cross this divide.""I kinda ended up with a partner that I don't really like.""Every man carries a few arrows in his heart.""Who even wants me? What is my value to society?""It was hard to throw myself into a career when I didn't know myself.""Opportunity comes from connection."---Mentioned on this episode:DM 196: The “invisible” relationship pattern that can affect everything (on childhood neglect)Book: Of Boys & men: Why the Modern Male is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It

Ep. 129 In this ground breaking episode—our first ever with a male guest—I sit down with Jason Lange, a men's embodiment coach, to explore what softness truly looks like in men today, and why so many struggle to access it. From healthy masculinity and emotional intelligence to boundaries and male intuition, this is a powerful conversation for anyone curious about the evolving role of masculinity in our world.Segments:Healthy Masculinity (00:00)The Power of Men's Groups (05:18)Embracing Softness (10:34)Energy Management & Boundaries (19:58)What the Feminine Craves from the Masculine (31:08)Understanding Male Intuition (38:08)Sensitive Men & Societal Perception (46:55)About Jason LangeJason is a men's embodiment coach, group facilitator, and evolutionary guide.

When I ask my male friends, "Do you trust men?" most of them say, pretty unequivocally, "No."Why does this matter?A lot of our clients come to us because they want to improve their dynamics with women. Whether they're single and dating or partnered and seeking more sex, intimacy, closeness, or harmony with their woman, there's a lot of focus on women.So what does a man's relationship to men have to do with it? Why does it matter to know whether you trust men, if you're working on healthy relationships and sex with women?For one, as Jason puts it: "As a man, if you have never experienced healthy masculine energy on the outside, it is almost certain you will have a hard time trusting it inside yourself, too."And if you don't trust your own inner masculine, it will be very challenging for you to generate sexual polarity, set boundaries, or go after the things you want (including women and intimacy).The thing is, most men don't trust men because a lot of men aren't trust-able! Millions of boys and young men are bullied, for example. Whether by a parent, sibling, or classmate, a large percentage of men experience bullying as children, teenagers, or adults.As the medical director for the LA Department of Children and Family Services puts it, "A bully gains power in a relationship by reducing another's, and shows little regard for the consequences to a victim's health or well-being."Fortunately you can reclaim your relationship to the healthy masculine, and this will directly impact you having a healthy relationship with yourself as well as women in your life.Whether you're single looking for dating advice, married looking for relationship advice, or somewhere in between, this is a vital -- and often under-explored -- topic.---Quotes from this episode:"Many men have been the recipient of masculine dysregulation.""One of the big crises for men is lack of role models.""The patriarchy is extremely damaging to men.""It's a step a lot of guys want to skip.""The sense is on-guard vigilance.""All I have to do is be here.""Men can become my allies.""Masculinity is a transmission, and without witnessing the healthy, deep versions of it is essential.""The power of groups is healing peer relationships."---Mentioned on this episode:DM 114: Bullying, resilience, and relationships

What does it mean to be a good husband?Many men we work with were trained to take care of everyone else before themselves. They often feel burnt out, and like they don't get nearly as much back as they give.If you've ever felt like you've tried everything you can to make your woman happy, but this only results in both of you being miserable ... you might be able to relate.Or perhaps you've lived some version of, "No matter how hard I try to please her -- how much I do -- it's never enough."Here, we talk about why this is. If he's bending over backwards to do what he thinks she wants, why doesn't it work?The answer lies in part with polarity, in part with childhood trauma (because of course), and in part with the fallacies of being a lone wolf.Related questions we cover:What does it mean to be a provider in modern times? (Hint: It's got nothing to do with money)How does this pattern impact sexual polarity?If it's not about sacrifice, then what does it actually mean to be a good husband?---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

Does a part of you ever feel like just giving up? It's too much, it's too heavy, it's too complicated, it's too hard. Or has it ever felt like, "What's the point?"The truth is, we all have points in our lives when we feel overwhelmed. This can also show up in the, "Here I am again… I'm in the SAME SPOT. I always circle back to this.'"If you're single, perhaps it's: "Nothing's working in dating." If you're partnered, it could be: "I'm trying and trying, but nothing's working to get us reconnected."Or as Jason says, "In my relationship, it would be anytime that I would get activated into feeling like I'm not enough."Here we go into what's happening on a physiological level when this part is showing up for you -- the two poles. These are dorsal shutdown — disassociation/sleepy/collapsed/yawning; and sympathetic overdrive — hyper/activated/manic/wired/anger.We talk about how to recognize these states, and what to do it when you do. Hint: "Connection and movement are two of the most important things. And sometimes to shift our mindset, we have to shift our body first."---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

From cultural confusion to political shifts, men today are caught in the crossfire of conflicting expectations. Are they supposed to be strong and assertive or soft and sensitive? Should they embrace traditional masculinity or rewrite the script entirely? And why are so many turning to right wing politics for answers? In this provocative first episode of The Integral Edge, Keith Martin-Smith sits down with Jason Lange and Raymond Fismer to break down what's really happening to men in the modern world. They explore why so many are feeling lost, how social, cultural, and economic changes have reshaped masculinity, and what a truly evolved man looks like in today's world.

"You'll never know unless you try." Jason Lange wants every man to get emotional. In his work as a men's embodiment coach, Jason teaches men how to invite their suppressed emotions to the surface and moving toward a more embodied way of living. This conversation goes beyond men, however. As human beings, we can learn to navigate spaces to create a greater sense of safety for ourselves and others. We simply have to give it a try.

"Porn was the #1 relationship I had in terms of intimacy."So says Jason on his experience of sex, love, and closeness in his 20s. (Fortunately, after engaging in personal growth, including men's work, he's now married to a radiant goddess!)If you've ever struggled with your relationship to porn -- and if that has also impacted your relationship to sex and sexuality, you're far from alone. Countless clients of ours start out with a challenging dynamic with porn, and here's the truth: Porn use isn't really about porn. Weed use isn't really about weed, either.When it comes to using weed, porn & masturbation, and other substances like alcohol, as Luke puts it, "It's almost always covering up deeper material that men do not know how to handle."The good news? There are lots of ways to handle that material, safe spaces within which to process it, and a TON of energy, vitality, and joy on the other side. Remember: Personal growth works, so work it.---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast? Jason and I are ready to work with you!

Are you gettin' out onto the dating scene in 2025? Whether you're newly single, a refugee from the world of pickup, recently divorced, or you've been dating for a while now, there are a few myths we see as obsolete that we wanted to bust.Sex, dating, and relationships can be confusing territory, and there are a lot of dos and don'ts when it comes to dating in the modern world. This is especially true in a post-#MeToo culture, where a lot of men have deep-seated concerns around coming off as creepy.If you've ever wondered whether it's "right" to text her right away (will you come off as thirsty if you text too soon?), whether you need to hide your nervousness (hint: you don't), or how to ask her out respectfully, listen on.If you're looking for pickup artist nonsense, you won't get it here. But if you're seeking attuned, loving dating advice for men from people who deeply care about men, women, and all human beings -- and staying openhearted -- then you're in the right spot.---Mentioned on this episode:Dear Men 138: GirlTalk: When to text her vs. call her!Dear Men 274: How do you make sure you're not coming across as creepy?Dear Men 296: What does it actually mean to step into your power?Dear Men 332: Ever gone into freeze?

January 6, 2025 marked two grim occasions: the four year anniversary of Donald Trump inciting his followers to take over the U.S. Capitol and the present-day Congress certifying Trump's 2.0's presidential election victory. This week, Katelyn, Christine, and special guest Meredith Shiner compare and contrast their experiences as congressional reporters on Capitol Hill. Meredith, a communications consultant and journalist, is the preeminent critic of the insurrection that aired live and what she calls the “polite coup”—the 147 Republicans who voted to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 presidential victory. Biden and the Democrats abdication of their responsibility to any timely or enduring accountability and the mainstream media's passivity, exacerbated by consolidation under their billionaire owners, are recurring topics. But the discussion does not get mired in cynicism. This episode's energy is what we all must hold on to heading into next week's second Trump inauguration, and whatever comes after.

According to PBS News, American men are experiencing what has been termed a "friendship recession." Currently, 20 percent of single men report that they do not have any close friends, and more than half of all men feel dissatisfied with the size of their friend groups.   Only 21 percent of men receive emotional support from friends on a weekly basis, compared to 41 percent of women. Among men under the age of 30, 15 percent claim they do not have a close friend, a significant increase from just 3 percent in 1990.   Jason Lange is a men's embodiment coach, group facilitator, and evolutionary guide. He helps men gain deeper clarity regarding their life purpose and relationships. Jason believes that every man should participate in a men's group due to the growth and support these groups provide. He is also a certified No More Mr. Nice Guy coach and has trained with influential leaders such as John Wineland, Dr. Robert Glover, Jun Po Roshi, Tripp Lanier, and Ken Wilber.   Many men are currently struggling because the old paradigms of masculinity are no longer relevant or appropriate. Men's work offers a path to discover healthier ways of being in the world, enabling men to shed the outdated "lone wolf" mentality. I began my journey into men's work in my 20s after enduring years of loneliness, discomfort in my body, and difficulty establishing romantic relationships. Over the past 20 years, I have found that men's groups have had the most profound impact on improving my daily life. It has become my mission for every man to join a men's group so they can express themselves more healthily, cultivate meaningful intimate partnerships, and contribute positively to their families and communities.   For more information: https://evolutionary.men/

Ever gotten defensive, stonewalled, or made her wrong -- "that's not what I meant, so you shouldn't feel that way"?You're not alone!And there's a high cost; this can be exhausting for you. Whether you're just dating or married, if you're at the mercy of her feelings, you likely feel out of control. You're only OK if she's OK. And you're not OK if she's not OK.The truth is, holding space for a woman's upset or hurt is one of the most profound ways you can love her. It also builds safety in a relationship in a way nothing else can.Learn to do this skillfully, and you will experience true freedom in relationship. Bonus? You knowing how to hold her full range of expression will als leads to very hot sex. ;) When she feels deeply accepted and held, even in her "big" feelings, she will often open to you like a gorgeous, radiant flower.

We've worked with a lot of men who consider themselves Nice Guys (a la Dr. Glover's famous book, No More Mr. Nice Guy).And we've witnessed certain patterns in terms of what leads to breakthroughs.Memorable quotes from this episode:“I want to be with you”“Now I don't have to hold that, ‘What if?'”“She liIkes me for emotional support, but she's not attracted to me.”“He really just owned it.”“This frozen place starts to thaw out and they just start moving more.”“The safety that comes from community.”“You don't have to get stuck in the purgatory that a lot of Nice Guys are in.”

Ever feel like you're being deliberately provoked by your woman? Or that she sometimes pushes and pushes until she gets a rise out of you -- often about what seem like tiny things? This pattern can be confusing until you understand the deeper reasons for it. And it's quite a common in dating and relationships, though we don't often discuss it explicitly. Related to polarity, the way Jason puts it is that "the poke is a call for presence and deeper feeling." It's not always the most mature or conscious way of relating. And the truth is, we as human beings don't always act in the most mature fashion. But if we can grasp the underlying vulnerabilities that drive us, then we often hit on wells of compassion that help us deepen and relax into love in ways we couldn't before.Remember: Personal growth works. It's not a straight line, but it's always worth it.---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast? Jason and I are ready to work with you!

Do you ever feel ashamed of your porn use, or wish you could stop or cut down? Ever had trouble getting it up and wondered if that's connected to porn use? Ever compared dating partners to women you see in porn, and wondered if that was negatively impacting your sex or love life?Over 10% of men are addicted to porn, according to a 2019 study in the Journal of Behavioral Addictions. (As of 2024, I suspect that number is even higher.) Porn has also been linked to to erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and delayed ejaculation in some cases.Here, we talk about why porn addiction has become so prevalent, and help to answer the questions: How do you know if you're addicted to porn, and how do you quit (if you want to)?Jason also delves into his own personal experience with porn addiction, how he overcame it, and what life and sexuality is like now (including with his partner).---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

Welcome to a profound conversation that hits close to home for many—"Men, Loneliness, and Social Isolation" with our special guest, Jason Lange!

When your partner gets anxious or upset, do you feel like it's your fault or that you have to fix it immediately? How able are you to stay grounded and feel your own self, even amidst her storm/upset?Ever found yourself doing anything to calm her down -- because your sense of being OK was contingent upon her feeling OK? (We find this common in the men with whom we work.Here, we talk about how to stay grounded even when she's going through it. We outline how to know what's actually going on for you in those moments, how to "interrupt" the sense of compulsion around fixing it, and what a deep offering it is to maintain your own, separate nervous system instead of merging with hers.As Jason says, now that he has become more skilled in this area, “I can be connected to her without being swallowed up by what's going on for her.”Whether it's in sex, dating, or a committed relationship, you will be more stable, reliable, and frankly sexy partner when you learn to master this.---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

What are you most ashamed of? Is it your sexuality -- how much you want and need sex, or your deep-down cravings that you fear others would judge if they knew about? Is it your yearning for love, your desire to be held or seen or known in some fundamental way?Many of the biggest breakthroughs we've witnessed in clients have come when they've headed directly into shame, been witnessed with compassion, and come out the other side.It is almost inevitable that releasing shame builds power, which is often electrifyingly transformative. Shame around sex, relationship, love, need, weakness, neediness, and desire is normal. It's human. But it doesn't have to be paralyzing; in fact, it can be catalyzing.Here, Jason and Luke share personal stories of shame, and we outline the process of transforming shame into power.---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

Ever been around a woman who was closed down, shut off, or emotionally unavailable? Ever felt like your partner wanted to say something but was holding back, and if you'd somehow shown up in a different way, maybe she'd have let you in?Perhaps you've felt some version of, "I can't handle that anger right now so I need to remove that anger from her." Or if your partner is upset with you, you've expressed something like, "You don't need to feel that way because here was my *intention* in doing that."Dating, sex, and relationships can feel like a huge mystery. Hell, women and feelings themselves can feel like a huge mystery! But there are certain principles that hold true, and grasping the nuances of polarity can help you navigate everything with more grace and clarity.Here, I share personal stories of feeling opened by a man (as well as times I've felt closed by one), and we outline what it takes to become the man who can open an available woman.—Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

(https://evolutionary.men/apply/)---Memorable quotes from this episode:"Instead of acknowledging what she was feeling and getting curious, it triggered my wounding around not being enough as a man, so I would try to explain to her why she was wrong.""Can I allow the person who hurt me to then be the person to hold me?""The deeper trust we form is, 'Oh, we can do this. We can move through conflict.'""This is one of the greatest gifts we can bring to another human being."

Joining us on The Rich Mind Podcast today is Jason Lange, a men's embodiment coach, discusses the importance of men's groups and the impact of generational trauma on men's emotional well-being. He shares his personal journey of discovering the need for emotional connection and the challenges men face in expressing their emotions. Lange emphasizes the significance of awareness and embodiment in understanding and regulating emotions. He also addresses the tendency for men to distract themselves from their emotions through addictive behaviors and the importance of breaking this cycle. Lange highlights the transformative power of men's groups in providing a safe space for men to explore their emotions and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. In this conversation, Jason Lange discusses the importance of men's groups and the transformation that can occur through connection and community __________________ Takeaways Men's groups provide a safe space for men to explore their emotions and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Generational trauma and cultural conditioning impact men's emotional well-being and their ability to express and regulate their emotions. Awareness and embodiment are crucial in understanding and regulating emotions. Men often distract themselves from their emotions through addictive behaviors, and breaking this cycle is essential for personal growth. Developing emotional awareness and regulation can positively impact family dynamics and create a healthier environment for future generations. Men's groups provide a space for men to slow down, connect with each other, and become more present to their emotions and experiences. Men often experience anxiety about joining a group due to past experiences of competition and threats from other men ____________________ Connect with Jason and learn more about his work through the following links

Hey, Chasing Happiness tribe!

Has your woman ever been in her masculine, and you wished she was in her feminine? Here's something that doesn't work: "Hey, could you drop into your feminine already?" ;)So how do you polarize your woman well? Polarity is one of those mysteries in life like electricity: We don't fully grasp why it works, but we can harness its power to make our lives better.I love polarity work because it can make a concrete difference in sex, love, dating, and relationships. I've seen countless clients ditch old dating advice, learn about this, and then say, "Wow, this polarity thing really works on a date." Or, "Man, I wish I'd known about polarity sooner ... my marriage might have gone differently."The fact is, no one teaches us about dating and sexuality and HOW to connect well. Most men don't learn how to flirt with girls, how to polarize a partner, or even what polarity is. Yet it's a fundamental relationship dynamic that can help with everything.Here we lay out five practical ways to polarize a woman partner into her feminine, helping her to drop into her heart and soften. If you've ever wondered why certain evenings with your wife or girlfriend were magical, while others felt like pulling teeth, this may help.And if you're a man who has sex with women and you want to help your woman soften, receive more of your love, and relax into even deeper levels of trust, this one is for you.Quick note: We talk about this on the podcast and wanted to include it here: If you suspect your partner may have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) (i.e. nothing you do ever seems to make a difference with her), polarity work won't cut it.You may also want to listen to our episode on that subject: 128: Feel like you're walking on eggshells? Recognizing Borderline Personality Disorder.---

Have you ever been concerned about getting involved with a woman because you didn't want to hurt her feelings if it didn't work out?Ever felt like you shouldn't go deeper emotionally with a woman you were dating because you weren't sure you wanted to put a ring on it?Does it ever feel like all women want a long-term, committed relationship, so if you're not available for that, you're somehow doing something wrong?The fact is, sex, dating and relationships are complex. There are a lot of possibilities, and the best kind of relationships are the ones that feel good to both parties.Here, we explore how to date ethically, share what you're available for, and how to be aware of what's underneath your fear of upsetting a woman. We also outline the immense value of short- and medium-term relationships, and what some women really want when it comes to those.---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

If you've become aware that you experienced developmental trauma (and/or attachment wounding), you may wonder how to heal from it.Where do you go to move through stuck parts of yourself that are holding you back? How do you get things moving and release blocks so you can finally get what you want in sex, dating, and relationships?Jason was a self-proclaimed late bloomer Nice Guy with developmental trauma — he had sex for the first time at 26, and still had a lot to learn around dating. Plus, he was often numb and felt like life was sort of happening to him. He wanted more, but didn't know how to get there.Then he went to a men's work workshop where a mentor took just twenty minutes to get him to a place he hadn't touched in 3 full years of talk therapy.It was transformational.(And now he's married to a beautiful, self-aware, radiant woman with whom he has a thriving relationship.)Here's the story of how he got there — and how you can, tooEvolutionary Men RetreatReady to do the work live?

Ever felt like when it comes to your relationship, you're constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop? Or that when you come home, you don't know what (or who) you're going to get? Or that every moment is, "Are they OK?" "Are they OK?" "Are they OK?"Reality check: It is not normal to be constantly on guard or anxious in your relationship. That kind of chronic anxiety is highly dysregulating -- and yet it's the "norm" for many of the men with whom we work. Whether they're in sexless marriages, struggle with overwhelming anxiety in dating, or yearn for more closeness with their partners, they're suffering. Are you?Here we discuss the difference between an unhealthy and healthy love relationship. A healthy love relationship is one in which the relationship GIVES you evergy, rather than draining it from you. Or as we put it, “It's not a healthy relationship if it requires you to abandon yourself over and over.”And: “Our relationship should co-regulate us, not dysregulate us.”---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

"It felt kind of like a trap, but at the same time felt like a soothing warm blanket to feel safe and ruminate within.""The codependent relationship is filled with drama. There is blaming, a victim and the rescuer/protector. That rescuer is filled with needing to be needed. That's where it began for me.""It was years of trying as hard as I could to make things better but never being good enough to matter how hard I tried."The word "codependence" gets thrown around a lot, but it's not always clear what it means. How do you know if you're codependent? How do you know if your partner is codependent? Can one person be codependent while the other isn't?Here we delve into our own personal experiences of codependency, as well as the experiences of some of our clients. We aim to provide clarity on codependent dynamics and how to overcome them.In Jason's words, "Too many men stay in a place of perpetual suffering." If your love relationships have never felt quite right -- if they've always felt off, or you've felt like you were just taking care of your partner (she couldn't take care of herself), or you've never felt like you could get it right with your partner (nothing was ever enough), this will be relevant for you.A lot of the men we work with are aching for MORE, and I just want to say -- that's available.

Did you have a deeply present, emotionally aware father who took the time to attune to you and teach you how to be a trustworthy, integrated man?If so, you're in the minority. ;) Most of our clients had far-less-than-ideal role models when it came to the masculine -- which makes becoming a trustable adult man challenging.For example, do you feel equipped to lead hard conversations with your woman partner, and help the two of you navigate repair? Are you able to stand up for yourself in a deep, grounded way without getting defensive or shutting down? Did you ever see any of those things role-modeled in your family of origin?The fact is, we learn how to be in the world from our caregivers. If you were raised by people who were abusive, alcoholics, neglectful, or just not emotionally attuned to you, then there are gaps in your understanding of sex, dating, and relationships. Here we talk about how to fill those in -- and how to replace bad role models with good ones.If you're someone who wants to grow beyond how he was raised -- this one is for you.Themes from this episode:The impact of having an emotionally volatile dad vs. absent/passive dadIf you don't want to be "that guy" -- the angry guy, the shut-down guy, the guy who makes women uncomfortable -- how do you act instead?How do you reclaim your manhood if you grew up with women who badmouthed men?

Episode Show Notes Calling all men yearning for deeper connection, clarity, and purpose – brace yourselves for a mind-rattling voyage that will obliterate everything you thought you knew about navigating life's challenges. In this unfiltered dialogue, men's coach and podcaster Jason Lange unleashes a torrent of hard-hitting truths, pulling back the curtain on the deeply ingrained myths that have left countless men stranded on the treacherous island of isolation. Smashing the "Lone Wolf" Fallacy With unflinching candor, Jason deconstructs the toxic cultural conditioning that has brainwashed men into believing they must confront life's trials alone, stoically toughing it out in solitary confinement. Through deeply personal anecdotes and startling statistics, he exposes the profound toll this warped narrative takes – a silent epidemic of loneliness, disconnection, and a pervasive sense of emptiness gnawing at the masculine soul. But this isn't just a scathing critique of the status quo – it's a battle cry to reclaim the transformative power of authentic male connection. Jason maps out a refreshingly practical blueprint for cultivating a supportive tribe, one rooted in vulnerability, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to personal mastery. Forging Unbreakable Bonds of Brotherhood Here are just a few of the revelatory insights you'll gain from this paradigm-shattering discussion: The two pivotal questions every man must answer to build an unshakable core identity and lasting sense of purpose Counterintuitive yet potent tactics to dismantle the psychological barriers preventing true vulnerability between men How to forge bonds of brotherhood that transcend mere "activity buddies" or "drinking buddies" – creating a sacred space for growth, support, and mutual accountability Practical strategies to prioritize these life-giving connections amidst the relentless chaos of work, family responsibilities, and the incessant distractions of modern life Jason Lange's Guest Links: Website https://evolutionary.men/ FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/evolutionarymenswork Instagram https://www.instagram.com/evolutionarymen/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@evolutionarymen YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@evolutionarymen The Evolutionary Men Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/4jQr495pFaJk3E9YnkUK9l Kaizan for Men's Personal Development Are you striving for personal and professional growth?

In today's evolving cultural landscape, simply being a "tough guy" who doesn't show weakness isn't enough. Both men and women are seeking partners who can lead powerfully while staying grounded in their humanity. But how do we get there? How do we balance masculine and feminine within, while bringing our best selves to our relationships? And how do we release what's holding us back on a physical and emotional level? In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, Maria is joined by men's coach Jason Lang. They will be talking about Jason's personal journey to intimacy and emotional connection, and his work helping men cultivate presence, polarity, shadow integration for healthy relationships, and much more! Standout Quotes: “Many of us men don't know how to do that because, historically, men have been rewarded for being disembodied.” “As a man, I have feminine energy, and as a woman, women have masculine energy. Part of what's been shifting in our culture is the great rebalancing of these energies.” “What's important is for there to be "juice" in a relationship. You have to play with those energies. It doesn't always have to be the same, but you can experiment and find the balance that works for both partners.” Key Takeaways: Evaluate your level of presence and embodiment. How "in your head" are you, and how can you better connect to your physical body and emotions? Consider where you may be disconnecting from your feminine side or energy. How can you better integrate both masculine and feminine? Ask yourself what unresolved emotions you may be holding in your physical body. Make a effort to prioritize self-care, relationships and emotional intimacy beyond just work and tasks.

Understanding these energies helps us navigate life." 3. Shiva Dhanasekar (01:04:21): "Being present in the moment, taking the full experience of today because yesterday's already gone and tomorrow's not guaranteed.

"Distractions come from a failure to label emotions." - Jason LangeEver wondered what it truly means to be a man in today's world? Join us on this episode of The Be Better Broadcast as we dive deep into the essence of masculinity with Jason Lange. Jason shares his wisdom and insights on how to embody healthy masculinity and grow into a better man.Jason Lange introduces the 3 Laws to Becoming a Better Man:1) Become deeply connected with the body: Discover how to tune into your physical self for greater emotional and mental well-being.2) Relational capacity: Learn to build and maintain meaningful relationships that enrich your life.3) Deepen & widen awareness: Expand your consciousness and understanding of yourself and the world around you.In our conversation together, we will explore:

When is it time to stay and work on things in your marriage, and when is it time to let things go? Perhaps you can relate to scenarios like these:You're worn out and exhausted because you're always the one reaching out to your wife and never getting anything backYou're great co-parents but your sex life is DOAAs a couple you rarely or never openly fight, but there's constant, underlying tensionYou feel like you can never get it right with her, and often feel hopeless about experiencing the intimacy you so deeply crave---The truth is, sometimes it's clear that a relationship isn't working, but sometimes it isn't. If you're unsure and trying to figure it out on your own, you're not alone.Many of our clients have been through the muck and confusion of trying to figure out their marriage, and here they share the depth of their hearts in that process.Both marriage and divorce can be sources of great pain, shame, and longing. They can also be sources of transformation, spiritual growth, awakening, and freedom.Here we delve into what to do when you don't yet have clarity around your marriage. We also touch on what it takes to improve your relationship, and how to make the determination with as much grace as possible.And remember: "There can absolutely be miraculous turnarounds in relationships when both partners are committed and willing."---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

(https://evolutionary.men/apply/)---Memorable quotes from this episode:"It's very easy for men to fall into a place of isolation in life.""If one person is not willing to step into the growth, there's not much you can do.""I keep inviting my partner into that and she's unwilling.""Sometimes the greatest act of leadership is to stop tolerating mediocrity.""When there's a vibrant, passionate sexual connection between the couple, it lights up the whole family system."

If your marriage isn't working, you're suffering. Maybe you're fighting all the time (whether aloud or not). Maybe you're great co-parents, but you don't connect in an intimate way anymore. And when I say "intimate" I'm not just talking about sex; I'm talking about warmth, closeness, and connection.Should you automatically stay in a relationship because there are children involved?The fact is, kids are perceptive and intuitive. They're aware when there's distance or discord between parents, even if they don't talk about it. And whatever you're doing in your relationship, you're role-modeling what a romantic relationship is. Is yours one you'd want your kids to have?Here, we go over "making it work" and relationship dynamics that do affect the kids -- and not in a good way. Sometimes it's possible to repair a marriage, and sometimes it's not.

In this episode, I am thrilled to have Jason Lange, a men's embodiment coach and group facilitator, share his invaluable insights into the transformative power of men's groups. With over two decades of experience, Jason has worked alongside leaders like John Wineland and Dr. Robert Glover, honing his approach to helping men find clarity in their life's purpose and relationships. He advocates strongly for men's participation in men's groups, emphasizing their role in fostering personal growth, enhancing intimate relationships, and contributing positively to family and community dynamics. During our conversation, Jason discusses the profound impact these groups have had on his life and why he believes every man should join one to experience similar transformative benefits. Jason's perspective is particularly compelling as he addresses the common emotional voids many men face, including unresolved father wounds and a general lack of supportive spaces for emotional expression and healing. Throughout the interview, he offers wisdom on what men truly need to thrive and how men's groups can serve as crucial platforms for learning, growth, and healing. This discussion is not just for men but is also vital for women to understand the struggles men often face in silence. Be sure to pass this episode along to help spread Jason's powerful message. Also, check out Jason's podcast, Evolutionary Men, for more insights into men's personal development. Key Takeaways: 1.     Supportive Networks: Jason Lange highlights the importance of men's groups in providing a support network that allows men to explore and heal emotional wounds, particularly those related to paternal relationships. 2.     Empowerment Through Community: Men's groups empower participants by promoting healthier expressions of emotions, which leads to more vital intimate partnerships and a greater ability to serve family and community. 3.     Inclusivity in Understanding: This episode is essential not just for men, but also for women, to foster a deeper understanding of the unique challenges men face and the potential pathways to addressing these issues through community support.   Groups are a place to grow, a sanctuary where we are  seen, heard, and supported  in our deepest vulnerabilities.   Jason Lange: https://evolutionary.men/ Check out his podcast there too! https://evolutionary.men/podcast-evolutionary-men-lead-in-life-and-love/       Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

Many men are struggling right now as the old paradigms of what a "man" is supposed to be are no longer relevant or even appropriate. Men's work is where we discover healthier ways to be in the world, and where we as men can shed the old "lone wolf" way of being. Jason Lange is a men's embodiment coach, group facilitator, and evolutionary guide. He helps men drop in and wake up to deeper clarity in their life's purpose and relationships. He believes every man should be in a men's group for the growth and support opportunities they provide. Jason is a certified No More Mr. Nice Guy coach, and has trained and studied with leaders such as John Wineland, Dr. Robert Glover, Jun Po Roshi, Tripp Lanier, and Ken Wilber.

In this episode of "Healthy Mind, Healthy Life," we had the privilege of hosting Jason Lange, a men's embodiment coach and facilitator, who shared profound insights into men's mental and emotional health. Jason opened up about his personal journey and the inspiration behind his work, emphasizing the importance of men's groups in fostering growth and support. He highlighted common challenges men face regarding their mental and emotional well-being and discussed how men's groups contribute to addressing these challenges. A central theme of the conversation was the concept of "brotherhood" within men's groups and its significance in promoting mental and emotional health. Jason emphasized the role of vulnerability in men's work and offered strategies for men to embrace vulnerability within these groups. Navigating discussions around traditional masculinity and its impact on men's mental health was another crucial aspect explored. Jason shared success stories and transformative experiences from his work with men's groups, showcasing the positive impact on mental and emotional well-being. Looking ahead, Jason expressed hope for the evolution of men's mental and emotional health support and advocacy, encouraging listeners to seek support through men's groups as a transformative step in their journey towards holistic well-being. As we conclude, this episode has provided valuable insights and encouragement for all our listeners. Stay tuned for more enriching conversations as we continue to explore the many facets of a healthy mind and a healthy life.

"I'm getting a boner — what's she going to think??"So begins the conflict for a lot of boys and men have around their cock. From a young age -- basically from the time boners start to be a thing, "It's like a lot of men are constantly tracking, ‘Am I having an erection and if I do, how do I hide it?'"The thing is, hiding and secrets go hand-in-hand, and they generally don't go anywhere good. The fact is, especially during teenage years, boners aren't even always about turn-on. As one man put it, "NRBs are a thing!" (No Reason Boners).We're on a streak here talking about how to overcome sexual shame (see what I did there?). Here we delve into the complex relationship many men have with their sexuality, and in particular to their erections.Related questions:How do you even know what healthy sexuality is if you've never seen it role-modeled?What is a boy supposed to do or say if he gets a boner at an unexpected time?How do you teach boys and young men that getting a boner, rather than a source of shame, can be a source of pride?Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

"Needing space within a love relationship is crucial for maintaining my identity ... It's not merely about taking a break; it's about preserving a sense of self that can slowly wither in the absence of such space."So says one of our clients, eloquently speaking to the need and also the cost of not getting space when it's required.Here we discuss both sides of the need for space -- what it's like to need it (and how to ask for it), as well as what it's like when a partner names that need. It can be confronting or even scary when a partner needs space, especially if we have a fear of abandonment. We delve into this, and how to reframe giving space as an act of love (it's said that space is the sixth love language).We also touch on the fact that some people know when they need space, while others aren't even necessarily aware that that's what they're needing; they just know something is missing, or that they feel lackluster.Romantic relationships tend to have certain unwritten or unspoken rules or norms, and one of my goals is to bring these into the light. I want to facilitate conscious relationship, and meta conversations (meaning talking about how we relate to one another). I hope this one sparks something in you, and look forward to hearing about it. You can always get me at dearmenpodcast at gmail dot com.Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

"As men, it often feels like we should just know how to succeed in a relationship, how to be great in bed, how to be successful in life, all under the counterintuitive expectation that we figure it all out on our own and never ask for help."Part of our my intention with this podcast is to help men succeed in sex, dating, and relationships with women. And a large part of the gap that I seek to fill is due to exactly what this client of ours shared -- the unfair and often unnamed expectation that men should "just know."You shouldn't! It's totally normal to not know. And in my opinion (and that of most of the women I know), the most mature, healthiest, and sexiest men are the ones who are leaning into learning.In the learning and growth process, you're likely to come across both therapy and coaching. They're similar but not the same, and it's an art to know when you need which.Many of the men with whom we've worked have experienced both therapy and coaching, and I polled them before this recording so I could include their lived experiences. Here, we go over the differences between them, and share some real-world examples.Whether you're working on your sex, dating, and relationship life, or becoming stable during or after a period of anxiety and depression, there's something for you here.---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?
