Internalized shame is a killer of self-esteem, libido, and a person's spirit. More than ever before, collective morality shames authentic masculinity. The 'Dark Masculine' is the archetype of removing shame and returning to true form.

In this episode I speak on 3 levels:

1. Redefining beliefs around individual vs. collective "morality"

2. The 2 types of male-specific shame, and biological roots

3. How to unearth the 'Dark Masculine' archetype and heal shame

This was inspired by the posts in the Masculine Underground FB Group. If you find this interesting, I'd appreciate if you'd rate this your favorite podcast app.
