What if the masculine isn’t broken—it’s just been programmed to forget its purpose? In this deeply transformative episode of Her Second Stage, Hilda Lunderstedt sits down with Dr. Steven Young to explore how women in midlife can create healing, harmony, and safety by understanding the masculine-feminine polarity and the deeper energetic dynamics at play.

You’ll hear how fear has shaped the nervous system of the modern woman—and why true empowerment doesn’t come from becoming more masculine but from remembering how to soften without losing strength. Dr. Young, a physical therapist for over 20 years, studied the body, healing, and the impact of energetic healing. He is a spiritual mentor, dedicating himself to bringing about change to the planet, and he brings a radical new perspective on why the masculine archetypes of King and Warrior have been suppressed and why women have had to overfunction in their masculine to survive.

This episode invites women to step out of survival mode and into sacred embodiment. It redefines how we perceive toxic masculinity, explains how polarity affects all relationships (romantic, professional, and within ourselves), and gives practical tools for opting out of fear and into faith, unity, and trust. Most importantly, it calls us to stop trying to fix ourselves—and instead start remembering who we truly are.

You’ll learn:

• How men and women have been depolarized on purpose—and what that means for your healing
• The four masculine archetypes and how women are being forced into Warrior and King mode
• Why “I got you” energy is the key to feminine safety and masculine power
• How to opt out of fear through intentional polarity, play, and faith
• What conversations men are really having behind closed doors—and where the healed masculine resides
• How to shift your energy in real time, even in work or business, to create safety and connection
• The difference between correction and inspiration in polarity dynamics
• Why tending to your nervous system is the most powerful way to invite masculine support
• How to recognize when you’re in your opposite polarity—and how to soften without losing respect

This isn’t about fixing the masculine or perfecting the feminine—it’s about opting out of the old game and choosing a new one. If you’ve ever felt like you had to do it all, lead like a man, or numb your softness to survive… this episode will bring you home.
