Finding community can be difficult. But author Luke Burgis thinks the real challenge begins once we've found it and we're subject to social pressures to conform. Listen as Burgis and EconTalk's Russ Roberts trace the tension between individuals and their tribes through the foundational frameworks, such as family and school, that help forge our identities. Burgis argues that the disappearance of traditional rites of passage bodes ill for major life commitments such as marriage, and recounts his personal journey from Wall Street through the Great Books in search of a strong, differentiated self. He also draws lessons for today's communities from Saint Benedict's 1,500-year-old guide for monastic life and describes the moving ritual he practiced with his father before he died.

What does mature masculinity actually look like in fatherhood, marriage, and leadership? Jeddy Azuma of Rising Man joins Front Row Dads to talk about rites of passage, masculine presence, and why boys need initiated men. In this Front Row Dads interview, Jeddy Azuma shares a grounded and honest look at mature masculinity, fatherhood, rites of passage, and the role men play in creating safety, stability, and leadership at home. Jeddy is the founder of Rising Man and helps men step into deeper responsibility, purpose, and masculine presence. In this conversation, he and Jon Vroman explore the difference between containment and control, why masculine leadership is often about having "the lowest heart rate in the room," and how men can stop making everything about themselves — even when they think they are serving others. A major theme of the episode is initiation. Jeddy explains why fathers may not be the ones to initiate their own sons, why boys need trusted men and "uncles" in their lives, and why modern men still need rites of passage to mark important transitions. This conversation is especially relevant for fathers, husbands, and business owners who want to lead with more presence, emotional maturity, and strength — without bringing battle energy into the home. In this interview: What mature masculinity looks like in fatherhood, marriage, and leadership The difference between containment and control in masculine energy Why fathers may not be able to initiate their own sons into manhood How rites of passage help boys and men mark major life transitions The hidden cost of bringing warrior energy into the home Why men need brotherhood to process emotions before they spill onto the family How fathers can model courage by doing hard things themselves This conversation is for you if: You're a father who wants to raise strong, emotionally grounded sons You're a husband trying to lead at home without controlling everyone around you You're a business owner who carries pressure, intensity, and battle energy into family life You're a man who knows he needs deeper brotherhood, challenge, and initiation You want to become more present, steady, and mature for the people you love most Next Step: If you're a family man with a business and you want to become more intentional as a father, husband, and leader, Family First is the next step. frontrowdads.com/familyfirst Connect with Jeddy Azuma: Website: risingman.org/compass Instagram: @JeddyAzuma #Fatherhood #RitesOfPassage #MatureMasculinity #MensWork #FrontRowDads

Hello everyone!  I'm completely thrilled to bring you this month's episode of The Becoming Podcast with Dr. Hillary McBride, my colleague and co-author of a chapter about the development of spirituality in matrescence in the recent book I've edited, Mother Becoming:  Reflections and Scholarship on Matrescence. Let me tell you a little bit about Hillary: Dr. Hillary McBride is a Registered Psychologist, host of the award winning CBC podcast Other People's Problems, and author of 5 books, including the Bestseller The Wisdom of Your Body and her most recent book released last year: Holy Hurt: Understanding spiritual trauma and the process of healing. She has been recognized by the American Psychological Association and Canadian Psychologist Association for her research and clinical work, and was awarded the prestigious International Young Investigators Award for her research contributions on women's sexuality. When she is not with patients or students, researching embodiment, or writing her next book, she loves to be near the ocean, or dancing with her daughter. Here's some of what Hillary and I dive into in our conversation together: The way that women's rites of passage, particularly matrescence and menopause, have been pathologized, overmedicalized and seen through a lens of deficiency...and how they are also, often, times of great potential and possibility in women's lives. How women's processes of growing up are often framed as a loss within misogynistic, patriarchal culture. Hillary's research on what happens during these developmental transitions when things go well...including that many women feel more connected to themselves and more embodied as they transform, but also afraid to talk about it because our culture so often supports and prefers a narrative of struggle during these times. We geek out on how you know a rite of passage is over, and some of the most important supports that can help us to integrate and metabolize transformative times in our lives. The spiritual growth that often occurs for women during the rites of passage they experience in their lives, including the chapter Hillary co-authored with our mutual colleague Dr. Larissa Rossen for the Mother Becomingbook on mothering as a spiritual technology. And so much more!  I loved this conversation with Hillary – I found it both tremendously affirming and deeply galvanizing as we look toward the power and potential that exists when women's rites of passage are well supported.  I hope you enjoy it too!   Listen to this episode on iTunes   Show Notes Hillary's website Hillary's instagram Hillary's CBC Podcast, "Other People's Problems" Hillary's books Mother Becoming:  Reflections and Scholarship on Matrescence   Also, while you're at it, if you enjoy the Becoming Podcast, I would be so grateful if you would rate, review and even subscribe to it wherever you get your podcasts.  That goes a long way to helping more and more people find and benefit from hearing these interviews.  Thank you so much!

In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Michael Meade to dive deep into mythology, masculinity, rites of passage and the soul's guidance during uncertain times. We explore what it means to live in a world without initiation, where many men never truly cross into mature masculinity. From prison and solitary confinement to the dark night of the soul, we unpack how suffering can become transformation and why facing your inner dragon is necessary to discover your true self. We talk about: • Why uncertainty is part of the human journey • The difference between hedonism and purpose • Solitary confinement as a forced inward rite of passage • Trauma, free will and breaking generational cycles • Writing your own personal myth • Mythology as a roadmap for modern life • Why men struggle to go inward in a distracted world This episode is about awakening, not in an ego driven way, but in a grounded and embodied way. It is about remembering who you are beneath conditioning, culture and chaos. If you have ever felt lost, restless or like there is something deeper calling you, this one is for you.

This episode is a deep exploration of purpose, initiation, and what it truly means to live in right relationship with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. I'm joined by Tim Corcoran, founder of Purpose Mountain and co-director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, whose life's work is devoted to helping people reconnect with their soul-level calling through nature-based mentoring and rites of passage.Tim shares his personal journey from a conventional path in computer science to a life shaped by wilderness immersion, indigenous wisdom, and long-term mentorship. We explore the cultural gap created by the absence of meaningful rites of passage in modern society, and how that absence often leads people to unconsciously create their own initiations through suffering, addiction, or crisis. Tim offers a radically different framework—one rooted in intentional initiation, deep nature connection, and guided vision quests that help individuals discover who they are and why they're here.We also dive into the mechanics and philosophy behind vision quests, including fasting, solitude, mindset, and the importance of preparation and integration. Tim explains why these experiences are not about endurance or bravado, but about presence, humility, and listening—both to oneself and to the living intelligence of the Earth. We talk about mentorship as a reciprocal relationship, resilience as a cultivated capacity, and how true healing often emerges from being witnessed over time rather than chasing peak experiences.This conversation is a powerful reminder that purpose isn't something we invent—it's something we remember when we slow down, step outside, and allow life to speak back.Visit purposemountain.com to sign up for a Vision Quest or Discover Your Purpose mentoring.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

It often feels like the modern world values and rewards people who remain psychologically suspended in adolescence. Many people, particularly men, prolong and enjoy their adolescence for decades.  Conroy Harris, CEO of the charity A Band of Brothers, discovered through his own life experiences that this wasn't a healthy way to live. He believes that everyone seeks a meaningful identity and a purpose into which to channel the energies of early adulthood.  In this classic reissued episode, Andrew and Conroy discuss the importance of rites of passage and mentoring, and how men can support one another to live authentic lives. Conroy shares some of his own difficult experiences as a young man, including periods of homelessness, and explains how mentoring and service to his community helped him find his way.  If You're Looking for More….

On this episode of Legacy Makers, Kevin and Eric dive into the power of rhythms, rites, and milestones in fatherhood. Drawing inspiration from David Salyers' Champion Tribes and cultural traditions like Bar Mitzvahs, they explore how to intentionally mark life's big (and small) moments—from firsts like losing a tooth or riding a bike, to transitions, coming-of-age experiences, achievements, and even hardships. The conversation unpacks the Peak-End Rule from the Heath Brothers, shares personal stories of one-on-one trips, monthly dates, bedtime rituals, and holiday traditions, and challenges dads to reject "good enough" parenting for a higher standard of legacy-building. Whether it's celebrating a kindergartner's success with ice cream or guiding teens through tough decisions, discover practical, low-cost ways to create lasting memories and teach resilience. Perfect for fathers seeking to amplify everyday moments and build a family legacy that endures—because what gets celebrated gets repeated. Tune in and get inspired to start your own traditions today!

In this episode, we sit down with Jamin Heppell to dive into the edges where personal growth, leadership, and nature all meet. We talk about what it means to move through fear, to listen to our intuition, and to find clarity in the moments that challenge us most. Jamin opens up about his own life initiations, the experiences that have shaped who he is and how he leads and shares the practices and rituals that help him stay grounded and resilient. Together, we explore what heart-centered leadership really looks like in today's world, and how the mountains — both literal and metaphorical — can teach us about courage, authenticity, and alignment.We talked about:The mountains are unforgiving, teaching us resilience.Life is a mirror for our personal growth.Clarity, clearing, and creation are essential in leadership.Fear can be a guide if we learn to listen to it.Daily rituals support our resilience and well-being.Leadership starts with self-awareness and authenticity.Nature provides profound lessons for personal development.Initiations in life help us grow and expand.Heart-centered leadership is crucial for community well-being.Mountains symbolise the challenges and triumphs of life.Links You'll Love:Jamin's offerings: https://linktr.ee/jaminheppellJamin's Website: https://mountainsandmarathons.world/aligneverest26/Article on the Patagonia story mentioned in the pod: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/26/australian-hikers-chilean-mountain-blizzard-survival-storiesPod Partners Rock: Australian Medicinal Herbs    Code: Future5Support the ShowCasual Support - Buy Me A CoffeeRegular Support - PatreonBuy the Book - Futuresteading - live like tomorrow matters, Huddle - creating a tomorrow of togethernessSupport the show

A conversation on a recent hike surprised me in the best way. My friend and I wandered into a chat about how we grew up and what shaped us, and it pulled up old memories I had not thought about in a long time. I shared a bit about my upbringing and the sense of community that came with it, but what really landed for me was how many different ways people mark the big moments in their lives. It does not matter if it comes from a formal tradition or something more personal. We all have these turning points that nudge us forward and help us understand who we are right now. Lately I have been noticing how many shifts in my own life feel like they are asking me to pause and pay attention. Some changes are easy to name and others are messy or in progress, and I am realizing that the in-between space is where a lot of the real movement happens. It is not always comfortable, but it is honest. So for this Wise Walk, I thought we could take a moment to look at whatever passages we are each moving through and give ourselves a little grace as we find our footing. Where are you in this present moment, and can you sense whether it marks a rite of passage in your life? What shift, milestone, or change feels most present for you right now, even if it is still taking shape? How is your career, environment, or relationships inviting you into a new phase of growth? Is there something you are preparing to welcome or create, whether a relationship, a move, a new project, or a dream you are finally giving energy to? What passages in your life feel ready to be acknowledged, honored, or named out loud? When you think about separation, what are you slowly releasing or loosening your grip on? Where are you standing in a liminal space, not quite who you were and not yet who you are becoming? How does uncertainty show up for you in this season, and what helps you stay grounded as you move through it? What inner resources or strengths are helping you navigate this in-between phase? Where can you feel the beginning of reintegration, that subtle shift that tells you something within is changing? How might you celebrate or honor the moment you recognize yourself emerging on the other side of this threshold? What does stepping into your next version of self look or feel like in your body, your heart, or your daily rhythm? Thank you for spending this time with me. I hope today's conversation helps you notice the passages unfolding in your own life and gives you a little more appreciation for where you are right now. Until next Thursday's Wise Walk, remember to read the signs, trust your path, and get your stride on. In this episode: [05:08] The term rite of passage comes from French anthropologist Arnold van Gennep, who coined it in 1909 and described three phases: separation, liminal, and reintegration. [07:39] In the different ceremonies there's a separation of who we were, then a transformation of stepping into a new identity, and it's about incorporating yourself as a new emerging entity. [08:16] Not all of the rites of passage that I've experienced are religious. My current situation and moving is a massive rite of passage. I've separated from my home, and I'm in a liminal phase of uncertainty. [09:04] I'm moving to a phase of re-emerging into something different. [10:13] Retirement is a rite of passage as well as changing careers. [11:37] Going back to school or going through a phase of education and knowledge are all rites and passage.  [12:50] I've moved many times, and it's a literal rite of passage. It has emotional, mental and spiritual passages that we have to overcome to get where we want to go. [13:12] Divorce is another rite of passage. [14:23] I like the idea of honoring all rites of passage whether it's transitional or an expansion of heavy stuff. [15:04] I'm also going through a professional rite of passage with all of the new certifications I'm getting like shamanic Reiki and healing and energy work and drum making. [16:07] I'm going to embrace and celebrate this liminal phase, because there is beauty in being in the corridor of not knowing exactly. Memorable Quotes: "Some moments in life tap you on the shoulder and remind you that you're changing, even if you didn't mean to." - Mary Tess "Every rite of passage has a little uncertainty in it, and that's what makes the celebration on the other side so meaningful." - Mary Tess "When you pause long enough to notice a transition, you give yourself a chance to honor who you're becoming." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

In a world filled with distractions and societal pressures, finding and stepping into your true identity can feel like a monumental task. In this enlightening podcast episode, Michael Trainer shares profound insights on the importance of individuation, using personal anecdotes and timeless wisdom to guide listeners on their journey to self-discovery. **Understanding Individuation**  Michael Trainer opens the discussion by emphasizing the significance of drawing a line in the sand and embracing the identity that resonates with us. He recalls advice from his leadership coach, Peter Roche, who reminded him that we are the lead actors in our own movies. This metaphor encourages listeners to take control of their narratives, embodying the characters they aspire to be, such as the king, the warrior, or the lover. These archetypes have been part of human storytelling for centuries, and recognizing them can help us align with our deepest desires. **The Traditional Rite of Passage**  Trainer reflects on the historical processes of individuation, where young men and women were guided through challenging rites of passage by elders. These experiences often required courage and a confrontation with fears, leading to a new identity and a profound sense of belonging. Unfortunately, in today's convenience-oriented culture, these traditional connections and rites of passage are often missing, leaving many feeling stuck in their childhood narratives and unprepared for adulthood. **The Importance of Letting Go**  To fully embrace our potential, Trainer stresses the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. He shares a personal experience of slipping and injuring his wrist, using this incident as a metaphor for the importance of paying attention to life's signals. He highlights how injuries can teach us valuable lessons about health, patience, and resilience. In moments of struggle, we are reminded to reflect on our paths and take responsibility for our choices. **Finding Your Purpose**  The conversation then shifts to the significance of stepping into our purpose, or Dharma. Trainer explains that when we neglect our true calling, life can feel chaotic and unsteady. However, when we stand firm in our convictions and embrace our roles within our communities, we can navigate challenges with greater ease. This self-awareness leads to empowerment, allowing us to transition from one life stage to another, whether it's from maiden to mother or prince to king. **Community and Support**  Michael shares his own journey of individuation, which included participating in men's work with his father and engaging in transformative programs like the Mankind Project. He emphasizes the importance of community in this process, as being witnessed by others can facilitate growth and healing. However, he also acknowledges that not everyone has access to such experiences. Therefore, he encourages listeners to seek out mentors and peers who can inspire and challenge them to rise to their full potential. **Commitment to Growth**  As Trainer reflects on his own life, he recognizes the need to surround himself with individuals who push him forward, not just those who provide comfort. He shares his commitment to returning to a supportive community in Austin, Texas, where he plans to embark on a new chapter in 2026, focusing on personal growth and the birthing of a new book. This commitment, while daunting, represents a significant step in his journey toward individuation. What happens when you finally decide to stop playing small?In this intimate solo episode, Michael dives into the ancient and deeply human process of individuation—the moment you step out of the outdated version of yourself and into the role you were always meant to inhabit.Drawing on wisdom from his leadership mentor, Peter Roche, and archetypes from myth and psychology, Michael explores why so many of us are living out childhood stories long after they've expired… and what it takes to cross the threshold into your next chapter.He shares a recent personal moment—a literal fall—that became a metaphor for the ways life tries to get our attention when we're not stepping fully into our gifts, purpose, and power.You'll hear:Why you're the lead actor in your own storyThe archetypes (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover) that shape your identityHow ancient rites of passage forged adults who could protect communityWhat happens when we avoid the identity we're called to liveHow injury, setback, or friction can be a spiritual signalWhy strong peers and “iron sharpens iron” relationships matterThe difference between karma and dharmaWhy stepping into your bigness is not arrogance but responsibilityMichael's commitment to a new chapter—and an invitation to begin your ownIf you've been feeling the pull toward a bigger life, deeper purpose, truer relationships, or a more courageous version of yourself… this episode is your line in the sand.**Conclusion: Key Takeaways**  Michael Trainer's podcast serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping into our true identities and the role of community in our journeys. Key takeaways include:- Embrace the idea that you are the lead actor in your life and have the power to shape your narrative.- Recognize the value of traditional rites of passage and seek out ways to create your own.- Let go of stories that no longer serve you and focus on your true purpose.- Surround yourself with a community that inspires growth and pushes you to reach your potential.- Commit to continuous personal development and be willing to embrace new chapters in your life.

“Four essential elements of Biblical manhood are joy, community, accountability, and identity,” says Alan Hahn, the founder and CEO of Iron Academy, a private, all-male Christian school for boys ages 6-12. Alan's school focuses on forging these boys into the men God created them to be by teaching them essential life skills, such as leadership, and by providing rites of passage that strengthen their sense of healthy masculinity. He discusses the use of thriving spiritual formation, helpful correction, and joyful discipleship in a loving and trusted environment - elements that cultivate a young man's identity and challenge him to work harder and achieve more. In a society that is starving for the truth, Christian men can be a countercultural light in the darkness by becoming all that God created them to be. TAKEAWAYSMen and fathers of all ages can learn from Alan's book, The Iron Academy: Forging Young Men Who Fight For The KingSpiritual formation does not happen without healthy shame or positive correctionA rite of passage requires separation from ‘normal' life and the administration of some kind of testLeadership training is a key element of forging young boys into men

Menarche- a girl's first period- shapes how we experience womanhood for the rest of our lives, and the lack of initiation most of us experience is itself an initiation. In this culture that has fractured from the rites and wisdom of our grandmothers, where so many of us met our first period with confusion or shame, how do we begin to heal this tender threshold- for our daughters, and for the younger version of ourselves?  In a conversation brimming with practical suggestions, my herb teacher Kami McBride- who has led countless women's circles, developed and taught a class for cycling women, and even written a book on menstruation- shares her decades of experience and insight. Together, we explore how to remember what was once celebrated, and how to bring reverence and empowerment back to this profound beginning.

In this episode, Demi Lee takes us deep into the story of Eclectica — a movement, a community, and a living expression of embodiment and transformation. Together, we explore how dance becomes a language for healing, how grief can serve as an elder and sacred teacher, and how true empowerment begins with self-responsibility.Demi shares the evolution of Eclectica from a creative experiment into a profound rite of passage — one that invites people to come home to their bodies, their emotions, and their truth. Through honest reflections on community, relationships, and heart-centered living, this conversation reveals how we can turn life's challenges into initiations that reconnect us with purpose and love.It's an exploration of what it means to live embodied, to honor our inner seasons, and to build communities that hold us through the cycles of becoming.Key Takeaways: - Grief is not just loss — it's an initiation into depth, compassion, and the full spectrum of love.- Movement and dance can reconnect us with intuition, release stored emotion, and ground us in presence.- The Power of Community: holding people in the dark.- Self-Responsibility in Relationships: Owning our patterns and triggers allows for more authentic, heart-based connection.- Rites of Passage: rituals that mark transformation. - Choosing love, responsibility, boundaries, and honesty as guiding principles transforms how we show up in the world.- A journey into remembering who you are beneath the noise — embodied, empowered, and whole.Show Notes Eclectica - https://www.eclecticahub.com/Passage of Self Online Course - https://www.eclecticahub.com/passage-of-selfSupport the ShowCasual Support - Buy Me A CoffeeRegular Support - PatreonBuy the Books - Futuresteading - live like tomorrow matters, Huddle - creating a tomorrow of togethernessSupport the show

Hey friends!  I'm so delighted to be back with another episode of the podcast, this time with a very longtime friend of mine:  Dr. Jenn Salib Huber. Dr. Jenn is a Canadian Registered Dietitian, Naturopathic Doctor and Intuitive Eating Counselor on a mission to help women manage menopause without diets and food rules. She supports women through the physical and emotional shifts of perimenopause and menopause using a Health at Every Size approach, intuitive eating, and practical nutrition. Jenn hosts The Midlife Feast podcast and community, and is the author of the upcoming book Eat to Thrive During Menopause, out October 21, 2025. I first met Jenn over a decade ago, when she supported me and my family with some really scary food allergies that my kiddos were having.  Our paths crossed again as I began writing Project Body Love, exploring my relationship with my body and, specifically, intuitive eating and the concept of health at every size.  In more recent years, Jenn has supported me as I've been transitioning through perimenopause.  I couldn't be happier to be sharing Jenn's wisdom with you today! Here's some of what we talk about: > We both share our somewhat hilarious stories of how we each realized we were in perimenopause – and then of course what happened for each of us afterward. > Why we know so little about the complex process of peri/menopause, why so many of us are surprised by our symptoms, and how Gen X and Millenial women are doing things differently, redefining the experience and demanding more information and better care. > The symptoms of perimenopause that no one expects, and that seemingly have nothing to do with perimenopause at all!  Jenn explains the "hormone soup" that exists in our body during this time, and how it has far-reaching impacts well beyond hot flashes and crime scene periods. > How our relationships with our bodies change during this transformational time in our lives – how many of us are confronted with the body and health changes associated with aging and the reality that we can't always control what happens to our health. > The potential that peri/menopause has to catalyze us to break up with Diet Culture for good and find joy and pleasure in food and movement.  We talk about the power and possibility that can reveal itself to us when we see this time as a rite of passage in our lives.  Jenn leaves us with the question:  how can midlife be a feast? I hope you love this interview as much as I did! Show Notes Jenn's book, Eat to Thrive During Menopause, comes out October 21st Pre-order the book and get some sweet bonus recipes!

Based on the knowledge and experience of father of the year 2025 Dr Arne Rubinstein, the answer is a powerful and resounding 'yes'. In this conversation, he discusses: What a healthy rite of passage really entails - and the dangerous substitutes we often see instead Why they're just as much for the parents as the children themselves The interesting differences between boys and girls in the character, effects and impact of rites of passage The power in recognising where you are in life, intergenerational relationships, connecting to community and more For more on Dr Rubinstein's work, see the Rites of Passage Institute For tickets to Osher and Struthless's 'So What, Now What?' live show tour, head here More from Osher hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rites of passage are ritual events commemorating a person's transition from one state of being to another. This could be social or religious, like a graduation or a wedding.  Conventionally, a rite of passage marks the transition between a person's childhood and full inclusion into a social group or tribe, but over time, it has become applicable to other milestones.  Learn about various ancient rites of passage that have been part of human civilization since time immemorial and how we've adapted those in modern times for social and psychological purposes.

The path of the Ayahumero isn't just a calling — it's a transformation. In this episode, I share an update on The Journey of the Ayahumero and reflect on my rookie year — the stage where theory meets practice and the real work begins. This year has been wild, challenging, and humbling. From the struggles and breakthroughs to the lessons that only come through direct experience, the rookie year is a rite of passage in itself. I talk about what it means to step fully onto the path of plant medicine, what initiation looks like outside of books and theory, and why the difficulties are part of what makes it so deeply worth it.If you've ever been curious about what walking this road actually feels like — the highs, the lows, and the sacred challenges — this episode will give you an inside look.If you enjoy the show you can buy me a cup of coffee (send a tip): VenmoWebsiteWatch this episode on YoutubeGet a copy of The Unplugged JournalGet Pine Pollen, Tallow and a NEW HAT - Online StoreSignup for newsletter: Send email to: ayahumero@deeperyougo.com with subject line "I Want In"Podcast gear available at: https://deeper-you-go-the-weirder-it.myspreadshop.com/Feel free to reach out with questions: ayahumero@deeperyougo.comField Guide 9 - WebsiteDeeper you go Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpluggedhuman.life/Book: The Self-Sabotage Guide: 9 Behaviors Preventing You from Becoming Stronger, Faster, And SexierThank you all for supporting the show!
