Together, I explore the crisis facing men today: the loss of initiation, the confusion between feminine energy and actual women, and the deep yearning so many men feel to reclaim their power without losing their heart.

This is not about blaming the feminine.

It’s about remembering what the masculine truly is: a safe place, a rooted presence, a sacred force in service to life.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:

Why do I feel so lost in relationships?

Can I trust myself again?

Where were the elders supposed to guide me?

This conversation is for you.

It’s a real, raw, and reverent modern-day rite of passage.
