We have reached the final episode of the series:”Trans Men: In Their Own Words”.This conversation began with Episode #1, looking at the collective cultural moment with The Seed and the Soil. We explored how trans folk represent a trickster figure, troubling the psychic architecture of the binary many of us were raised with. We talked about the urge to ‘monster' the other, but we also looked at the history of how gender has been used as a tool of social control.In Episode #2, we moved past the intellect and into Stories of Transition. My guests shared the intimate vulnerability of their own journeys - the grief, joy and reckonings that bind us all in the search for a place in the Book of Life.And now in this final episode, Emmanuel, Kanoa, Lev, and Aliko move beyond individual stories to examine the architecture of men's work. We address the faultline currently trembling modern men's spaces: the tension between a masculinity fixed in biological certainty and one defined by collective stewardship.For men's work facilitators, this conversation serves as a guide for understanding how and why to consider including trans men, as well as the broader transition of men's work itself. We are tasked with moving from a narrow focus on ‘personal wellness' toward the regeneration of culture - calling forth a masculinity that is aware, regulated, and in service to thriving life.You can find the full guest bios & links to their work on the Series Page.I'd love to hear your comments & reflections below.

Last week, I released Part One (you can listen here). This series grew from a seed - a conversation with Emmanuel H. Brown. Emmanuel has been navigating his own journey, seeking out the places where manhood and masculinity might be expanded to hold the lived experience of trans men.As someone rooted in the mythopoetic lineage, I recognize that these voices have often been missing from our circles. This series is an invitation to a broader framework - one that is mutually supportive for the soul of every man.In our first episode, The Seed and the Soil, we explored the trans man as a trickster figure - one who troubles the binary architecture many of us have been raised with. We looked at the history of gender as social control and the tension between biological certainty and the expansive human spirit. We asked how we might hold space for genuine curiosity and reckon with real violence against trans folk without losing our humanity to the polarized scripts of our time.Subscribe to get the full series in your inbox.If the first conversation was about the why of this series, this one is about the who.In this episode, Stories of Transition, we move from the intellect to the heart. By sharing their personal stories of transition - the specific griefs, private triumphs, and quiet moments of reckoning - Lev, Emmanuel, Kanoa, and Aliko disarm the listener with a rare and honest vulnerability.We touch the visceral edges of their paths: mapping the territory where their unique stories cross and diverge, showing that they are all bound by the longing for place in the Book of Life.Overall, the intention is simple: to widen our capacity to remain human to one another. It's about dissolving the outdated programs of society to find the infinity of the breath underneath. You're welcome to leave your respectful & nuanced thoughts in the comments below.
