"Liberating masculinity is not a product. It's a process of growing up and a process of growing down. Growing up is having life experiences. Growing down as finding deeper meaning and involvement." - Ed Adams

Welcome to The Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host, Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here.

On today's episode, I'm joined by Ed Adams and Ed Frauenheim, the authors of the book, Reinventing Masculinity, The Liberating Power of Compassion and Connection.

On today's episode, we explore something a little bit different. We explore what it means to be a man and how the idea of masculinity is changing and how that benefits both men and women alike.

While today's conversation isn't directly about financial independence or mindfulness, although we do touch on both of those topics, it really explores what it means to show up fully in our life. Are we carrying the beliefs and ways of being that society is telling us to do, rather than truly getting in touch with who we really are and what it means to be human.

 I really enjoyed this conversation with Ed Frauenheim and Ed Adams, and I hope that you enjoyed it as well.
