Owen Marcus is a men’s coach and the Co-founder of Evryman, a company focused on men’s emotional wellness with the purpose of destigmatizing men’s vulnerability and empowering individuals to build deeper connections.

He teaches us how some of our biggest “problems” are unhealthy coping mechanisms that we have unknowingly adopted. He talks about the role of physical/somatic experience in shaping emotional experience, how suppressing our emotions creates PTSD pathways in our brains, and the power of "changing your mind” over “learning new techniques.” 

Lastly, we talk about how connection is the essence of being human, what it takes to achieve deeper connections, the benefits of emotionally risk-taking, and actionable advice for how people, men in particular, can cultivate better emotional intelligence. 

In this week’s episode, we talk with Alexandra Fine, Co-founder & CEO of Dame Products.

We discuss the importance of getting to know all the different versions of ourselves, how to acknowledge the contradictions within each of us, and whether people can actually change. We talk about sex as a part of society, the power of cultural influences, and the limitations of binary thinking. We learn about Dame’s mission to close the "pleasure gap"—and the dangerous implications of a discriminatory advertising industry that continually censors content related to female sexual wellbeing.

In case you didn’t know, BBXX suffers from this, too! Instagram frequently rejects any promotional ads we attempt because of a totally vague blanket ban on "inappropriate content," which apparently includes anything even remotely related to living healthy relationships in general :(   PS.

You probably don’t know much about menopause… and the things that you do know might be based on stereotypes more than actual facts. That’s because, unfortunately, despite being an important—and inevitable—life stage for literally every woman on earth, it hasn’t been studied very much! (shocker) 

In this week’s interview, we talk with Jill Angelo about the myths and stigmas of menopause, the lack of resources and support for women going through it (aka, eventually, all women), and the ways in which we can all—men, women, and folx—better normalize and create greater visibility surrounding this transformational life stage. In case you think this isn't relevant to you—think again. 

Jill Angelo is the CEO and founder of Gennev, a company dedicated to bringing the world a better menopause experience. Their online hub features resources from educational materials to menopause health coaches, telemedicine appointments, and wellness products.

Named as one of Inc. Magazine’s 2016 Most Impressive Women Entrepreneurs, Jill is a driving force for bringing effective health solutions, information and resources to women during some of the most vibrant years of their lives.

In this week’s conversation with Stephanie Coontz, we discuss the history of marriage, its social and political significance, and the changing paradigm in the modern world. We learn about the factors surrounding marital and sexual satisfaction, the importance of egalitarianism, and the lessons to be learned from single people and same-sex couples. 

Lastly, we speak to the importance of cultivating a sense of community and trust through casual connections and small interactions—particularly in today’s perpetually disconnected world—and the ways in which putting more energy into interactions with friends, coworkers, and even strangers can actually help strengthen our romantic partnerships. 

Stephanie Coontz is the author of five books on gender, family, and history, including Marriage, A History: How Love Conquered Marriage, which was cited in the US Supreme Court decision on marriage equality. She is a Director for the Council on Contemporary Families, as well as emeritus faculty of History and Family Studies at The Evergreen State College in Washington.
