In this episode of Cured Collective Podcast, we have the pleasure of sitting down for a conversation with Connor Beaton. Connor is a NY-based coach, teacher, and speaker dedicated to helping men (and women) from all over the world walk through their darkness and grow in the realms of mental clarity, relational communication, and actualizing their potential and sexual intimacy. He is the founder of ManTalks, an intensive training program for men looking to expand and deepen their sense of self-leadership.

Connor is also the author of ‘Men’s Work,’ a powerful book and practical guide that offers men actionable exercises and the self-inquiry to help anyone achieve love, a joy-filled life, fulfilling sexual connections, and deep purpose.

Today, Joe and Connor discuss the various challenges men face with their mental and emotional health; as well as how these have morphed into an epidemic in recent years. In true Jungian fashion, Connor speaks to what our shadows can teach us about ourselves, our paths to liberation, and our purposes. We can often find ourselves stuck in old patterns of thinking that life is happening to us, but there is immense growth and healing when we can believe that life is actually happening FOR us.

This is one you don’t want to miss.

“We can see that socially in the education system, academically, professionally, sexually…men are struggling and the conversations we’re having about how to approach this are often missing the mark.” – Connor Beaton
