Being a "REAL" Man ... Lost again in a world of SHOULD DO'S
Aug 03, 2023 Episode 15
Chris Walker

I am proud of my journey to evolve into the man I am today. For most of my life I let society tell me what being a man meant. My focus on winning, needing to be seen as a winner, and most importantly not seen as a loser disconnected me from my true self. It took hitting rock bottom before I finally listened to my therapist's advice around introspection. 


Now I sit 5.5 years into this journey, and I feel lost again. Men are being pulled into these two poles. One side is saying don't be toxic, be soft and emotional. The other side is doubling down on being strong rich and powerful, only then can you be "free".


We will discuss today how neither pole is definitely right or wrong. I/we men or really us HUMANS, need to connect to ourselves on a deeper left, look past the conditioning and the bull shit to find balance in our own life to truly be at peace and then ultimately free, free to unconditionally be ourselves.
