Podcasts about man box

Mark Greene at "Remaking Manhood" and "Walking Talking Men" joins Pat Kahnke and Adam Swenson to talk about healthy masculinity vs. "Man Box" culture in this Thursday morning LIVE episode.

Most men are never taught how to fall apart. They're taught how to push through, provide, and stay in control, but not how to process loss, ask for help, or stay emotionally present when their world is coming undone. When a marriage ends, those unspoken rules about what it means to be a man don't disappear, they just get louder. And for so many men navigating divorce, the result is isolation, overwhelm, and a kind of silent struggling that nobody talks about and nobody sees. In this episode, Karen McMahon sits down with Todd Adams, men's work leader, conscious leadership facilitator, and founder of MenLiving, for a conversation about what it actually takes for men to heal. Todd has spent years helping men step out of what he calls the Man Box: the outdated version of masculinity that rewards toughness and punishes vulnerability. And what he's found, again and again, is that the thing most men are avoiding, real connection, emotional honesty, brotherhood, is the very thing that sets them free. Together, Karen and Todd unpack why going it alone doesn't work, how community accelerates healing in ways that individual effort simply can't, and what it looks like for men to rebuild, not just their lives after divorce, but their relationships with themselves, their children, and the people they love... from the inside out.

In this insightful interview, David Chambers shares his journey from a wild, adventurous life to becoming a men's coach focused on emotional connection, masculinity, and relationship health. He discusses societal narratives around masculinity, the impact of the man box, and practical ways men can evolve to create deeper, more authentic relationships.About David:David is a dating, relationships & intimacy coach for men. After growing up in a single-parent, female-dominated home with no male role model in his life, David struggled to understand what masculinity and a healthy romantic relationship entailed. After spending most of his 20s in meaningless dynamics and avoiding commitment. He went on a personal journey towards authenticity, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, purpose, harnessing his sexual energy, vulnerability, presence, openness, and honesty. Through this learning, he was able to break free from gender stereotypes and societal expectations of what a ‘real' man should be to become his true and authentic self.  He is now in a loving partnership with a son and supports other men to find more fulfilment in dating, love and relationship.Key Themes:Societal narratives around masculinity and the man boxThe impact of childhood imprints and societal conditioningThe role of vulnerability and emotional expression in men's livesPractical steps for men to develop self-awareness and emotional intelligenceThe influence of the Manosphere and alternative narratives on men's perceptionsChapters:00:00 Introduction to David Chambers02:15 David's Journey into Coaching05:58 The Impact of Breakups on Personal Growth11:28 Understanding Masculinity and Relationship Patterns15:58 Avoidance and Emotional Challenges in Men20:59 The Man Box and Its Effects on Men26:11 Navigating the Manosphere and Finding Authenticity30:19 Bridging the Gap: From 'I'm Fine' to Self-Awareness31:36 Unpacking Emotional Catharsis35:14 The Challenge of Personal Growth in Relationships40:26 Navigating Masculinity in Modern Society47:56 Confronting Societal Issues: Violence Against Women54:51 Finding Hope Amidst ChaosTo connect with David:Instagram - @theauthenticmanWebsite - https://www.theauthenticman.net/YouTube -  ⁨@TheAuthenticMan⁩ 

Johnny Cole is a young man dedicated to supporting men and boys in escaping the "Man Box" ideals of masculinity, thus making the world a safer place for all. He is the founder of Hey Brother Co., a men's work organization focused on shifting the narrative on masculinity through emotional skill-building, brotherhood, and accountability. As a survivor of childhood domestic violence at the hands of his father, a South African special forces veteran, Johnny understands intimately the grave consequences that patriarchal masculinity and unaddressed mental health issues can have on men, women, children, and all of society.   Johnny creates spaces—online, in the gym, in schools, in men's groups, and on retreats—where men and boys can unlearn patriarchal conditioning and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. He has worked with schoolboys across the United States, South Africa, and the Galápagos Islands, and his mentorship with high school boys in Oberlin, Ohio was featured in CBS Reports' documentary Boys to Men: Why America's Sons Are Struggling.  If this conversation resonated with you, follow Johnny and Hey Brother Co., check out the men's groups and resources linked below, and consider joining a community of men committed to growth, integrity, and real brotherhood.   Key Topics: ⭐ Joy, Play, And "Being Silly" As Missing Parts Of Masculinity ⭐ The Pressure For Stiffness And Rigidity In Men ⭐ Breaking Away From The "Man Box" And Its Rules ⭐ Learning Masculinity Through Fear, Violence, And Control ⭐ "There's Something Wrong With Me" — The Core Male Belief ⭐ Performing Masculinity To Earn Approval And Validation ⭐ The Ever-Moving Goalpost Of Patriarchal Manhood ⭐ Compassion For Fathers Who Were "Robbed Of Softness" ⭐ Loving From A Distance While Holding Boundaries ⭐ Confusion Around "What Kind Of Man Do I Want To Be?" ⭐ Male Loneliness, Belonging, And The Fear Of Being Outcast ⭐ Collective Healing: Why Men Need Other Men     Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   ➡️ Join the Waitlist — Relate https://forms.gle/2AXhmyNweasETaso7 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe    Connect with Johnny Cole:    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heybrotherjohnny TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@heybrotherjohnny Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@heybrotherco Website: www.heybrotherco.com   RELATE:   

What if the traits we celebrate in men—toughness, self-reliance, powering through—are the very habits pulling them away from health, love, and purpose? Men's embodiment coach Jason Lange joins us to trace how boys are taught to leave their bodies, why that blunts emotion and intimacy, and how to rebuild connection from the ground up.We dig into the invisible training many boys receive: stop crying, sit still, think your way out. Jason explains how emotions begin as sensations and how years of numbing make it hard to identify, let alone share, what's real. From the “Man Box” to the dysfunction of swipe culture, we unpack the pressures that reward status over presence and leave too many men isolated. Then we pivot to solutions. Jason breaks down the power of men's groups—small circles that rewire the nervous system for safety and belonging. You'll hear how vasopressin and oxytocin shape bonding and help men connect, and how simple somatic practices unlock grief, fear, and anger without letting those states run your life.If this conversation resonates, share it with someone who needs it, hit follow, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show.

Most men weren't taught to be selfish. They were trained to protect an image — and that's a different problem entirely.In this episode, Dr. John Schinnerer breaks down how the Man Box — the unwritten rules every boy absorbs about what "real men" do and feel — quietly creates what he calls defensive egocentrism: a pattern where men organize their entire sense of worth around performance, status, and perception instead of emotional awareness and responsibility.You'll learn why so many high-functioning men take things personally that aren't personal, why criticism feels like an attack, and why the car-honk that ruins your morning is actually a window into something much deeper.This isn't about shaming men. It's about helping you see the pattern — because you can't heal what you can't feel.In this episode:- What the Man Box actually is (and why "strength" isn't the problem)- The difference between defensive egocentrism and clinical narcissism- The honking car story — and what your reaction reveals about your identity- What emotional maturity actually looks like in a man- One question that will change how you respond to criticism this weekAnd a special heads up — something big is coming. The Evolved Caveman Inner Leadership AI Coach is almost here: a personalized, on-demand coaching tool built specifically for high-functioning men who are done white-knuckling their way through relationships, anger, and identity.

31% dintre bărbații și băieții din gen Z (născuți între 1997 și 2012) consideră că soția ar trebui să se supună întotdeauna soțului. Pe de altă parte, numai 13% dintre bărbații din generația Baby Boomers (născuți între 1946 și 1964) au aceeași părere. Aceste date apar într-un sondaj global, realizat de Ipsos și Institutul Global pentru Leadershipul Femeilor din cadrul King's College London, pe un eșantion de 23.000 de persoane din 29 de țări. Studiul arată o orientare constantă spre o viziune tradițională asupra rolurilor de gen. Cum am ajuns aici? Am întrebat-o pe Ionela Băluță, sociologă, profesoară la Facultatea de Ştiinţe Politice a Universităţii din Bucureşti, directoarea Centrului pentru Politicile Egalităţii de Şanse. Ionela Băluță: „E o intensificare, pe care o constatăm de aproape două decenii, a rolurilor conservatoare și a ceea ce numim manosferă – comunități și spații online care, de la Inceli, la Alpha Males, la Sigma Males, promovează acest discurs, că ar fi o criză a masculinității și că una dintre principalele sale cauze ar fi feminismul, egalitatea de gen, emanciparea femeilor. E o explicație pe care tinerii bărbați, bărbații care se găsesc în situații economice precare o îmbrățișează pentru că e mai ușor să spui vinovate sînt femeile și soluția e să redevin eu bărbatul Alpha, bărbatul adevărat, să-mi impun voința în cuplu, în familie, decît să te gîndești că, de fapt, precaritatea economică, nesiguranța joburilor, inegalitățile economice sînt rezultatul unui sistem economic, al unor decizii politice mai greu de schimbat.”Feminismul vorbește despre masculinitatea toxică și critică rolurile tradiționale de gen. Ce propune în loc? Ionela Băluță: „Eu prefer să vorbesc despre masculinitate hegemonică și nu  toxică, pentru că mi se pare important să înțelegem că nu căutăm vinovați și că nici nu există vinovați și că e un sistem de putere social construit pe aceste inegalități între femei și bărbați. Masculinitatea hegemonică e făcută exact din toate aceste caracteristici, că bărbații sînt superputernici, ei trebuie să domine, ei nu trebuie să arate slăbiciune. Vine la pachet cu foarte multe reguli, norme, care, da, în general îi avantajează pe bărbați pentru că, iată, au acces la poziții de putere, stabilesc relații de putere în cuplu. Dar există și studii făcute, de exemplu, de Equimundo sau de Men's Development Network, pe ceea ce ei numesc Man Box, o cutie a masculinității, care arată o corelare destul de îngrijorătoare între asumarea acestor valori din masculinitatea hegemonică și comportamente de risc. Tinerii care sînt acolo își asumă mult mai des riscuri, de la condus sportiv pînă la consumarea diverselor substanțe, ca să arate că sînt bărbați adevărați. La fel, tinerii care sînt în această Man Box nu cer ajutor atunci cînd au probleme emoționale, psihologice, pentru că un bărbat e puternic. Și atunci ajungem la situația în care rata de sinucideri în rîndul bărbaților este mult mai mare decît în rîndul femeilor. Prin acest sistem patriarhal se construiește masculinitatea hegemonică pe care o critică studiile și mișcările feministe. Ceea ce arătăm în studiile de gen și ceea ce revendică spațiile feministe este, de fapt, o reconfigurare a rolurilor și a raporturilor de gen într-un sens mai echilibrat, în care și bărbații pot să fie empatici, și bărbații pot să plîngă, cînd sînt în situații în care orice ființă plînge. În care acceptăm că și femeile pot să fie inteligente, puternice. Ce ar trebui să înțeleagă bărbații este că asta este și în avantajul lor. Reconfigurarea normelor patriarhale ne ajută pe toți să ne găsim mai bine un loc în viața socială, profesională, în viața de cuplu.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta întreaga discuție!O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei MartinUn produs Radio România Cultural

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s⁠ In this week's episode, I sit down with Peter Heymann, a coach in our BreakAwake community and a beautiful example of what is possible when someone is willing to do the real work. Peter recovered fully from chronic back pain using this work, and what makes his story especially powerful is how deeply it intersects with the way boys and men are conditioned in our culture. We talk about “the man box” — the unspoken rules so many boys are raised with: don't cry, tough it out, man up. When we teach boys to disconnect from their emotional lives, we don't eliminate their feelings, we just drive them underground. And the body keeps score. Peter shares how inner child work helped him reconnect with younger parts of himself that had been silenced for decades, and how that reconnection was one of the missing links in resolving his pain. This conversation is tender, honest, and incredibly important — especially for those of us raising boys, loving men, or trying to unlearn our own inherited rules about strength and vulnerability. Peter speaks candidly about fatherhood, emotional literacy, and what it means to model something different for the next generation. His back pain is completely resolved, but even more meaningful is the freedom he feels inside himself. And I'm so thrilled he'll be joining us again at the Omega Institute this June for his second summer with our community, witnessing people step out of fear and into their lives. You're going to love this one. XOOX n. Want your questions answered directly by Nicole?

Rev. Jodi Suson, Suson Essentials, Self-Cell Care welcomes Mariquita Solis of Uncaged Heart Coaching. Many successful men are winning at the office but drowning at home. They've spent decades perfecting a "Billboard" of strength, only to find their internal "Manufacturing Plant" is in a supply chain crisis. Mariquita Solis is The Uncaged Heart Coach, and she is here to audit the "Robot" lifestyle. In this interview, we dismantle the "Vending Machine" logic of modern marriage and expose the childhood survival programs that keep men trapped in the "Man Box." This isn't about being "soft"—it's about Integrated Strength. It's time to retire the armor, resolve the core wound of shame, and reclaim the fire of a truly existential life.   Host: Rev. Jodi L. Suson - www.susonessentials.com Guest: Mariquita Solis: https://uncaged-heart.com/      

Why do so many men feel uncomfortable, guarded, or disconnected around other men — even while craving deeper connection? Why does loneliness persist despite friendships, success, or relationships? In this episode, David explores why male community feels unsafe for so many men and how early experiences of bullying, banter, competition, and the "man box" shape how men relate to each other. He breaks down why men avoid vulnerability with other men — and the hidden cost this has on confidence, emotional health, and relationships. You'll learn how healthy male community reduces shame, loneliness, and isolation, builds emotional regulation and accountability, and creates the safety men need to grow. This episode offers a grounded reframe of masculinity — not through toughness or performance, but through belonging, honesty, and shared growth.   Key Topics:  ⭐ The "Man Box": Understanding the Rigid Rules of Masculinity ⭐ Why Men Feel Unsafe or Ostracized in Male Spaces ⭐ The Trauma of Bullying and "Banter" Culture ⭐ Why Men Struggle to Be Vulnerable With Friends ⭐ Ancient Wisdom: Lessons from Tribal Campfires in Ethiopia ⭐ The Epidemic of Male Loneliness and Its Physical Impact ⭐ Why Women Often Have Better Support Systems Than Men ⭐ The "Sexual Intimacy Resistance" Men Rarely Talk About ⭐ How Community Reduces Shame and the Feeling of Being "Broken" ⭐ Using Your Partner as a Therapist: Why Men Need Outside Feedback ⭐ The Power of Accountability in Achieving Business and Personal Goals ⭐ Facing the Shadow: Why Growth Requires More Than "Munching Crisps"   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe     

Send us a textA culture that actually protects first responders doesn't happen by accident—it's built on day-one expectations, family inclusion, and leaders who tell the truth even when the news is hard. We sit down with Doug Wyman to map what real organizational wellness looks like and why “Inside the Box” has become a powerful framework for shifting identity, policy, and practice in policing.We start where most programs fail: leaving wellness to HR or EAP and forgetting families. Doug explains how to onboard spouses and partners with the same care we give new hires, and why a 10–15 minute decompression ritual at the door can prevent years of resentment at home. From there, we dig into the mentorship pipeline—how great FTOs set career goals, normalize therapy, and keep officers engaged long after field training. As rank rises, the view widens; without peer networks and rank-specific training, command staff unintentionally import narrow worldviews into complex events like suicide, deepening stigma and pain.The episode unpacks procedural justice for the inside of the house—dignity, voice, clear motives, and follow-through—to counter “administration betrayal.” We name the Man Box and the Cop Box, exploring how rigid ideals make therapy, medication, or simple human tenderness feel like violations. Doug shows how emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and the Four Agreements become everyday tools that change culture one conversation at a time. And we get practical: field officers should carry the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, because at 3 a.m. on a bridge you need the right questions, not another search tab.If you lead, supervise, dispatch, or love a first responder, this conversation offers a blueprint you can use tomorrow—family education, mentorship, internal fairness, and tools that save lives.

What does it mean to be a man? This is a lively and revealing three-way conversation with Mark, Kelly, and our returning guest Jon Carl Lewis (and our first episode in a long time in which we've had the pleasure of a guest in-studio with us!) that spans a wide range of topics related to the spirituality and embodiment of masculinity—whether straight, queer, or trans. Using as our jumping-off point the shared experience of being adult men facing the challenges of caring for and losing parents, the conversation then deepens into discussing the paradox of being simultaneously men of the world and “children of God,” balancing trusting God to help with our troubles and doing what we can in our power as well, and the need that even the strongest man has for community. Oh yeah, and then we start taking about sexuality as well! Listen for the first half of this candid, soul-baring conversation!

In a world of intense social media messaging and traditional "man box" expectations, how can coaches connect with and lead young male athletes effectively? In part 2 of our conversation with Kip Ioane of Teams of Men to explore a coaching philosophy that goes beyond yelling and wins. Kip shares powerful stories and actionable strategies for using vulnerability as a strength, co-creating a positive team culture, and helping athletes find their authentic selves. This isn't just about coaching a better game—it's about building better men.Kip discusses a new approach to coaching young male athletes that focuses on emotional intelligence and challenging traditional masculinity, often referred to as the "man box." Instead of relying on old-school, aggressive coaching methods, the conversation highlights the importance of fostering self-awareness, creating a safe space for difficult conversations, and empowering athletes to question harmful messages they receive from society, music, and even family members. The episode also explores the power of vulnerability from coaches and the importance of co-creating team culture with the athletes themselves.Learn more about Teams of Men: https://www.teamsofmenmembership.group/Join the TOC Coach Community- Get your 7 Day Free Trial https://www.skool.com/toccoach/aboutSubscribe to the Team Culture Toolbox Newsletter so you don't miss the notes to this and every episode! https://www.tocculture.com/newsletter Learn More and Apply for the next TOC Coaching Retreat: https://www.tocculture.com/retreat Listen to the Culture Builders Podcast: Youtube | SpotifyInterested in booking TOC for a team meeting/consultation?

The Netflix series Adolescence isn’t just gripping television—it’s a wake-up call about the hidden struggles of modern boyhood. In this episode, we unpack the toxic pressures shaping boys today, from social media’s influence to the outdated expectations of masculinity. How do we protect our sons from a system that fails them? What can parents do to guide them toward healthy manhood? Let’s explore the hard truths and actionable steps every parent needs to know. KEY POINTS: Adolescence forces us to ask not who committed the crime, but why? The "Man Box" and "Boy Code" are shaping boys in ways many parents don’t realize. Social media is accelerating boys’ exposure to toxic masculinity. Boys like Jamie aren’t born violent—this ecosystem shapes them. Schools, parents, and tech companies all play a role in this crisis. PERSONAL STORIES SHARED: How watching Adolescence made me rewrite parts of my book on raising boys. My conversation with Rebecca Sparrow after losing my nephew to suicide. The moment in the show that left me heartbroken as a parent. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:"Boys believe their eyes more than their ears. If we don’t like the versions of masculinity on offer, it’s up to us to fix that." — Richard Reeves KEY INSIGHTS FOR PARENTS: Our boys are absorbing toxic messages about masculinity online every day. Shame, social rejection, and fragile identity can lead to devastating consequences. We must actively shape a healthier vision of masculinity for our sons. Prevention starts at home—monitor, guide, and connect with your boys. RESOURCES: Adolescence (Netflix series) Richard Reeves’ insights on masculinity The Bringing Up Boys Summit (half price!) Review of Adolescence [Article] ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Monitor your child's online activity and social influences. Have regular conversations about emotions, identity, and self-worth. Limit screen time and encourage real-world friendships. Foster strong adult mentorship in your child's life. Make sure your son hears these three words often: No matter what.

A lot of women are angry today. As the United States inaugurates Trump as president (again), women feel like equality is slipping away in the personal, professional, and political arenas. Why is female anger so reviled and denied? Come hear how Michelle and Irina have dealt with men commenting on their clothes and eating habits, plus what they think underlies statements about women needing to calm down or being hormonal. They also discuss why old-fashioned value systems have not necessarily helped men thrive and why psychologists often refer to anger as a secondary emotion.

Millions of men are tired of the way in which MAGA Republicans have defined masculinity in the traditional, restrictive fashion - emphasizing the “hard” side of men and shaming the “soft” side. This includes prioritizing independence over interdependence, thinking over feeling, autonomy over connection, and emotional suppression over vulnerability.  The old view is “power over” others rather than “power with”. The old view is to exert control over women which is demonstrated by MAGA's views on abortion and birth control. The solution is not to prioritize the hard side of masculinity over the soft side. Nor is it to prioritize the soft side over the hard side. The solution is to create a climate which values all sides of masculinity (or even better, humanity!), so that we may bring the best aspects of ourselves to any situation as needed. The solution is to stop shaming men when they feel natural, healthy human emotions (think of how Gus Walz was treated when he displayed love, connection and pride over his father at the DNC). What is the Man Box?  It's the rules you absorbed as a boy about what it means to be a “real man”; rules that have made you emotionally constipated, caused conflict in your romantic relationship, encouraged you to chase material things, and caught up in a hyper-competitive rat race. The rules include such classics as be tough, hide your feelings, dominate women, be self-reliant, don't be feminine, and don't be homosexual. Research shows that this restrictive, tired view of masculinity has negative effects on us. The more we subscribe to traditional Man Box beliefs, the lower our self-esteem (Cournoyer & Mahalik, 1995), the more difficulties we have in romantic relationships and friendships (Fischer & Good, 1997; Sharpe & Heppner, 1991), the more we act in violence (Franchina, Eisler, & Moore, 2001), and the more depressed and anxious we feel (Cournoyer & Mahalik, 1995; Hayes & Mahalik, 2000).Join Dr. John Schinnerer and Mark Greene in a fascinating conversation about the Man Box culture, and how it's playing out in politics right now. The solution is not to flip the script so that we overvalue the soft aspects of men over the harder aspects.  The goal is to honor both the hard and the soft sides of our humanity equally. It's giving men permission to tap into all aspects of their humanity so that they are comfortable bringing the best parts of themselves to a particular situation.This is not a problem at an individual level. It is a cultural issue, a culture in which the full spectrum of our humanity has yet to be valued fully. The thing I love about the Man Box idea is that none of this is your fault. You didn't ask to be socialized like this. You had no control over it. It just happens. So keep in mind that while this is not your fault, it is your responsibility to evolve beyond the Man Box. And that's what we are seeking to do in this election, discover more ways to evolve our masculinity.About Dr. John's Esteemed Guest, Mark Greene:Mark Greene works to engage men in creating diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace cultures.

065 In this episode of REWIND we revisit an interview about mens struggle to find a generative form of masculinity in a rapidly changing world. FYI we will be taking a break from regular publishing over summer and be back in fall with the launch of season 3. Stay tuned! In almost every metric of success including education, career advancement and earning potential men have fallen behind the opposite sex. In this conversation I speak with David Jurasek, psychotherapist and mens coach about the current state of boys and men and the often overlooked causes of antisocial male behaviour, under performance and inability to access emotional help. We also discuss ways conscious men can re-access the power latent in their biology and psyche in healthy ways that serve others and open to greater love and a sense of purpose.Follow Awake In Relationship on Instagram and LinkedinIf you have been loving what you are hearing on AIR  please rate, review and subscribe to get the latest content fresh to your device.  Sign up for our newsletter at awakeinrelationship.com to learn about upcoming programs and events.Do you have suggestions for guests or feedback on the show?  Send us an email at awakeinrelationshippodcast@gmail.com

Did streaming break the box office? It sure seems like it, with attendance and ticket sales in a perpetual slump, layoffs plaguing juggernauts like Pixar, and Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos claiming that he could've made the Barbenheimer without a theatrical release (we disagree, Ted!). We'll break it all down and preview this weekend's new Netflix movie Hit Man, which Dianne saw during its brief theatrical run. But first! Summer also means it's time for a parade of new streaming shows you've probably never heard of! Can you pick the real shows from the ChatGPT-created hallucinations?

Find out how you can begin to master the one tool that stands between you and your success: the ability to ask for what you need to succeed and be happy. The Man Box culture teaches the value of self-reliance. 85% of Americans agree that “I would rather depend on myself than others.” But, as always, you can take things too far.

Please be aware this conversation contains references to sexual assault and gender-based violence. …What ideas about gender have you learned from your culture, peers, and family? How can you find ways to call people in instead of calling them out? How can you practice approaching defensiveness with curiosity in yourself and others?How can we begin to embrace our full humanity by allowing ourselves to engage in all ways of being, not just the ones that were assigned to us based on our sex?What is a small thing you can do this week to create a next turn/ ripple from this conversation? ...Burton Patterson is a social worker by trade with experience in the fields of Harm Reduction and Mental Health and Addiction, Sexual Violence Prevention, and Healthy Sexual Education. He specializes working with male-identifying folks in gender-based violence prevention. In this conversation from July 2023, Burton shares his story. Abbie and Burton discuss the narratives and norms around gender that we internalize (whether we recognize it or not). Burton explains why it matters to call men into the conversation, rejecting the idea that the conversation around gender-based violence and sexual assault is simply a “women's issue.” Abbie and Burton discuss “The Man Box” and doing the internal work. In the second half of this conversation, Burton shares stories about his experience educating groups of young men about toxic and healthy masculinity, rape culture, and gender-based violence. Abbie and Burton explore the way meaning is made when it comes to “femininity” and “masculinity” and how we can embrace the power we have to make new meaning.

How does a “recovering asshole” come to be a reputed men's coach and Coach of the Year? What is a “recovering asshole”? Someone who is sarcastic, one who pushes buttons, and gets a rise out of others. Someone who was raised with a lot of judgment around status, wealth and women. Someone who roasts others in order to make themselves feel better and make the other feel smaller. Be honest. Are you a recovering asshole? And how does this dynamic help out society? How does it make other people feel? Are you lifting others up? Or tearing them down? Perhaps you do it with zero conscious awareness. Or maybe you're aware of it. Either way, today is a great time to begin to let that dynamic go - for your friends, for your loved ones and for the betterment of the state of the world. And how did Alex get lit up online for speaking out (softly) against Andrew Tate and his authoritarian tendencies?

Therapist, researcher and writer Hillary McBride is back on the show, this time to talk about toxic masculinity. Hillary takes us through some of the various characteristics and manifestations of toxic masculinity, reflects on why it has become so pervasive in Western society, why it often show up in our images of God and in the religious leaders we follow, and how men can begin to recognise and move beyond these limiting and oppressive social constructions.   After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Joy Brooks reflect on their own experiences of toxic masculinity, how it shaped the faith they inherited, and how they now understand and relate to gender.    Interview starts at 16m 35s   Show Notes → The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, wonderfully ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful, wonderful listeners.
