Many men today never complete the crucial step from boyhood to manhood: separating emotionally from their mothers and establishing their own authority. This leaves them emotionally stunted, unable to form healthy partnerships or embody true commitment. They remain trapped in patterns of seeking approval, avoiding conflict, and prioritising harmony over truth.

Men need to cross that symbolic threshold where they shift from dependency to sovereignty. This doesn't mean cutting off their mother, but transforming the relationship from boy-mother to man-mother, where he walks his own path without needing her emotional approval.

When a man fails to address his mother wound, his energy becomes scattered, his boundaries inconsistent. He can’t fully choose or commit to a woman because that capacity simply isn't there.

But in this episode, Lorin offers ways to examine where you might be carrying false guilt, to notice how this guilt affects your decisions and drains your energy, and to begin releasing it.
