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 E5] The Somatic Cost of Screen Time
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode is a personal and somatic reflection on how screen use has impacted my nervous system — and how it became a hidden part of my developmental trauma.
I define trauma as an overwhelm of charge the body cannot digest, and screen time — especially scrolling through YouTube, Instagram, reels, and Facebook — has often left me frozen, overstimulated, and disconnected from my body.
This isn’t about shaming ourselves for using screens. It’s an invitation to feel what they’re doing to us.
I also talk about my time working in a forest school with 3–7 year olds, children who spend all day immersed in play, presence, and creativity — without a single screen in sight. The contrast was humbling, and it showed me what real regulation and aliveness look like.
