From Boys to Men: A Journey Through Masculinity
From Boys to Men is a podcast about the embodied journey of masculinity.
Season 1, titled UNCUT, focused on the raw and often unspoken realities of male puberty — exploring shame, sexuality, and the body through a somatic lens.
Now, in Season 2, we expand the conversation. From grief and addiction to love, longing, and emotional intimacy, we explore the evolving terrain of manhood beyond adolescence.
Through storytelling, music, and honest reflection, this podcast is a space to unshame the masculine experience — not to define what a man should be, but to uncover what it means to be fully human in a male body.

[Ep. 3] Don't Get Caught in Your Shame Spiral w/ Joseph K
Joseph and I talk about the lack of mentorship during puberty and how it shaped our understanding of intimacy and self. I share the awkward and misguided lesson my brother gave me about how to touch a woman’s clitoris—without any attunement or understanding.
Joseph opens up about the overcoupling of ejaculation with safety during his teenage years and how those early habits of masturbation contributed to struggles with sex addiction. He bravely reveals his shame around using a torso sex toy and the journey to unshame these parts of himself.
We wrap up with an original song, "Don't Get Caught in Your Shame Spiral," a heartfelt invitation to release shame and love ourselves in this moment exactly as we are.
