Episode notes
Masculinity is cracking—and that’s a good thing. In this powerful, paradigm-breaking episode, I sit down with Jason Lange, men’s embodiment coach and founder of Evolutionary.Men, to talk about what’s actually holding men back from intimacy, healing, and fully living. Spoiler: it’s not just porn, patriarchy, or pride—it’s disconnection.
This isn’t a “man up” conversation—it’s a real one. About vulnerability, emotional sobriety, parenting, partnership, and why every man deserves a space to be held, witnessed, and deeply seen.
We go deep into men’s groups, shadow work, fatherhood, nervous system healing, sex as regulation, gender roles, and what changes when men stop relying on their partner to meet every emotional need. If you’re a man, love a man, or are raising one—this conversation could change everything.
