A Bit About Toxic Masculinity

I wanted to share this conversation I had a couple of months ago with my friend Jeff Perera (I know, I know. We had the conversation and I meant to edit it the next week. What can I say? The summer got away from me.)

I met Jeff on Clubhouse, and we've had some great chats. We had the foresight to record this one. I've outlined some favorite moments below.

You can learn more about Jeff at higherunleraning.com

Instagram: @jeffperera and @higherunlearning

I highly recommend giving him a follow. And you can follow me on the IG at @men.connecting

Some highlights:

6:02 -- It's complicated to talk about this...

17:05 -- Noticing the ways you receive and interpret information...the impact

23:58 -- Lifting *everyone* up...the whole world tiptoes around the egos and wounds of men...

37:55 -- Men are willing to do the hard work: physical muscle vs. emotional muscle

47:10 -- Shame is a big roadblock

53:18 -- Is it hard to be a man today? No, but yes. It's complex.

1:02:08 -- An invitation to come off the island

1:11:08 -- Getting curious is at the heart -- 3 C's important to this work
