Changing Our Perspective Of Masculinity

Today I want to speak with you all about masculinity, what we're calling 'toxic masculinity,' and what it means to be a man in the world today.   In this episode, I'm exploring my own experiences around masculinity, what toxic masculinity is, and most importantly: what's missing from today's image of masculinity (because that is the key to healthy communication and emotional expression!)

Today I want to speak with you all about masculinity, what we’re calling ‘toxic masculinity,’ and what it means to be a man in the world today.

In this episode, I’m exploring my own experiences around masculinity, what toxic masculinity is, and most importantly: what’s missing from today’s image of masculinity (because that is the key to healthy communication and emotional expression!)

If we want masculinity and toxic masculinity to change, we have to change the way we interact with one another, as well as play the role that wasn’t played for us earlier on in life. We have to be the change we want to see in the world.
