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 E8] Mothering Men: A Very Special Conversation with my Mom
This is a very special episode. It's the first female guest on the show! And she is my mom!!!
She talks about raising 3 boys through puberty, the recent death of a lover of hers (Leo), and her practice of deeply loving and accepting men by being abundantly boundaried and having appropriate expectations.
I share two songs "Didn't your momma" and "I'm never enough" a tribute to Leo.
I share both the deep gratitude and grief of having a mother raise me through puberty when really what I needed (looking back) was male mentorship and community.
