In this episode, we’re talking about masculinity - what it means, what it’s allowed to be, and why so many men feel increasingly unsure how to show up in the world and at work - without being labelled toxic, outdated, or problematic.

Our guest is David Maywald, author of The Relentless War On Masculinity. David argues that while some harmful behaviours needed challenging, we’ve also lost sight of healthy masculinity and that many capable, well-intentioned men, especially in midlife, are paying the price.

In this episode we explore whether masculinity is being evolved or quietly dismantled, why so many men feel sidelined and what reclaiming a grounded, healthy masculinity - that’s aligned with the healthy feminine - could actually look like today. 

So buckle up and join us for this uplifting conversation.
