57 min - Feelings, Part 3: A Woman's Perspective on Men and Emotions, with Jackie ShorrockWow! Thank you to Jon’s stand in this week, Jackie Shorrock... yes, a woman on Men Talking Mindfulness- for an insightful discussion about feelings!I enjoyed learning from your feminine perspective and hearing the struggles you have as a well-being guru, a wife, and as a mother of two.Here are some of the highlights in this episode:- the “need” for women to seem like they have it all together- why we bottle-up our emotions, where and how we learn this behavior.- what true leadership is and looks like- defining maturity- the power of forgiveness- the “spirals” of shame that keep us in the same place with that same BSWow! What a joy this episode has been for me. Thank you so much Jackie - I appreciate all your insight and time.Jon and I will be back next week to continue with our next part of men and feelings. Thank you for tuning in and sharing this conversation with your community!

About Men Talking Mindfulness
From the publisher's feed
Men Talking Mindfulness is a weekly podcast on men’s mental health, mindfulness, meditation, overall wellness, and leadership, hosted by retired Navy SEAL Commander Jon Macaskill and Stanford University Ambassador of Compassion Will Schneider. New episodes every Monday.
This show is for men who are doing fine on paper and know something is still off. Leaders, operators, veterans, tradesmen, dads... anyone carrying real pressure and tired of pretending it isn’t there. Every week Jon and Will sit down with psychiatrists, performance coaches, combat veterans, authors and everyday men to talk honestly about what we are all dealing with and what actually helps. Stress, sleep, anger, loneliness, focus, fatherhood, faith, testosterone, grief, burnout, and the daily practices that help a man come back to himself. No posturing. No lectures. Real conversations, real tools, and a mindfulness practice you can actually use.
Past guests include Jocko Willink, Mark Divine, Howard Behar, Rich Diviney, Dr. James Doty, Steven Pressfield, John Eldredge, and Dr. Mark Gordon.
Jon served 24 years in the Navy, 17 of them as a SEAL, and now teaches mindfulness and meditation to leaders in construction, engineering, manufacturing and defense. Will has taught yoga and mindfulness in New York City for nearly two decades and strips the fancy words away so the practices stick. Together they co-founded Focus Now Training and the Awareness to Action community.
If you have been told to meditate and never understood why it should matter to you, start here. Mindfulness will not make your stress disappear. It changes your relationship with it. That is the whole game.
Find the full back catalog, show notes and ways to work with Jon and Will at mentalkingmindfulness.com. Join the community at awareness2action.com.
