While I’ve seen men feel more powerful and confident as they embrace “masculine” qualities, I’ve also seen many men suffer and struggle, feeling unmanly or not good enough. This episode explores masculine / feminine dynamics, to see whether and how taking them on can be useful for men.

Today’s episode is a replay from years ago that I still find incredibly helpful today. I went into this conversation with a strong curiosity about whether it’s still useful to talk about a distinction between masculine and feminine.
With humans taking on a wider range of characteristics on the gender spectrum than when I first started coaching, I wanted to explore whether this distinction still supports you to create intimacy and passion. I brought Satyen Raja, a long time coach, to the podcast and in our conversation we cover:
- How to use masculine and feminine qualities in our current era without turning them into another bullshit framework to live up to and make yourself wrong about
- The perspective that allows you to stop trying to fix yourself
- How to balance impeccability with becoming less serious — to become more successful AND enjoy your life
- What to do if you don’t trust yourself
- A morning practice that only takes a few minutes and will help ensure you get the most out of life
