The Butterfly of Why
When life changes course unexpectedly, we often don't have the luxury to understand why it happened. Through stories and conversations, we can explore why we take those first steps that lead to growth, resilience, and perspective.
Join me, Jamie Weddle, as we explore The Butterfly of Why.
Thanks!

Could reconnecting with the body and nervous system be the key for men to reclaim their identity and authentic presence?
On the latest episode of The Butterfly of Why, we sat down with Owen Marcus, expert in men’s somatic mindfulness and co-founder of MELD (Men’s Emotional Leadership Development). We explore how cultural expectations of masculinity shape men’s identities from adolescence onward, often leading to disconnection from emotions, bodies, and relationships. Owen explains how somatic therapy, nervous system awareness, and the power of men’s groups help men rediscover authenticity, connection, and a deeper sense of purpose.
