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.

[S2 E1] Addiction Swapping: From Weed to Women
In this first episode of From Boys to Men, I open up about my journey with addiction — from smoking weed after the death of a close friend, to years of codependent relationships and love addiction. I share how grief, loss, and a lack of safety in my body shaped these patterns, and how psychedelic medicine began to bring me back to feeling.
This episode features two songs: “I’m an Addict,” a raw reflection on my entanglement with my ex, and “Stepping Up,” a tribute to my best friend Tyler.
This is a story of unshaming, returning to the body, and learning how to feel again.
