The Authentic Man Podcast with David Chambers: Dating, Relationship, Masculinity & Intimacy Guidance For Men

In this week's mini-episode, I get into why men are afraid of commitment and being with the wrong women, the stories they tell themselves about commitment and how I got over my fear of commitment.

What is the man experience of pregnancy?

How do men feel during childbirth?

What use is a man during the birth of his child?

When you hear these questions, you might think the answer to all of them is "not a lot", simply because you don't hear about it very much.

But I sit down with sexologist and men's sex coach Cam Fraser to talk about his experience of pregnancy, childbirth & post-birth intimacy.

This episode is an open, raw and vulnerable account of Cam's experience of a 'gnarly' and 'immense' birth and the after-effects on him.

We start the conversation talking about his journey to being a sex coach and sexologist, navigating his toxic masculinity and diving into the worlds of yoga and tantra.

And we move beautifully into his experiences of being a caretaker, provider and space holder in pregnancy and post childbirth.

The key topics are:

🤰🏻 Being a male caretaker during pregnancy

🤰🏻 Reverence for pregnant women

🤰🏻 Intimacy during and after pregnancy

🤰🏻 Healthy and unhealthy ways to embody the provider

🤰🏻 What a man does during birth

🤰🏻 Emotionally processing C-section

🤰🏻 Does having kids kill your sex life?

🤰🏻 Sex after childbirth

🤰🏻 The problems with performing masculinity

In this week's Weekly Mini-Episode, I go over a little technique that I have been using with my clients to help them let go of the fearful and anxious thoughts and take the inspired and powerful action to take control of their dating lives.

How do we transform how we think and feel? Do we think our way or feel our way to something different?

This week I sat down and talked to Cordelia Gaffar. Cordelia Gaffar is the Emotions Opener Transformation Strategist guiding leaders to use their darkest and most difficult emotions to show up powerfully.

She is also a seven-time author and expert in using your emotions to transform your life and your experience of reality.

Many of the men who come to work with me struggle to connect deeply with the women they meet. They are not taking action to create the relationship they desire. They are scared to commit or find it so hard to communicate how they feel when with someone they like. All of these issues stem from an inability to connect to your emotions. And in the episode, you will learn multiple ways to connect with what you feel.

The key topics are:

🧘🏾‍♂️How Cordelia healed herself from postpartum depression

🧘🏾‍♂️What is detached love and the power of it

🧘🏾‍♂️How to connect to the infinite love

🧘🏾‍♂️Tuning into your wisdom and intuition

🧘🏾‍♂️Embodiment practices to let go of emotions

🧘🏾‍♂️How to self nurture

🧘🏾‍♂️How to reparenting yourself

🧘🏾‍♂️Using emotions to heal your body

🧘🏾‍♂️How to let go of shame

In this week's topics, I quickly tackle an issue that was once one of my biggest dating fears, ending up in the wrong relationship.

We can heal in so many ways.

Some like talking therapy. Some use somatic practices, some use energy and some use plant medicines.

I sit down with Alexandra Chance, healer, mystic, medicine woman, priestess and shaman.

This conversation weaves in many directions telling the story of Alexandra's first experiences of seeing spirits through BDSM, healing through the heart, her experience of African spirituality feeling our ancestors and plant medicine.

This is the type of conversation you sit back with an open mind and open heart and let fill you up and relax you. You are sure to learn something new and more connected to the unknown within you!

We grow up in a world that dictates to us what we should want, how we should look, what we should buy, who we should date and what we should do for a living. But so many of us follow these rules and end up miserable and confused as to why we aren't happy.

The reason for this is because we are not engaging in what our hearts and soul really want. And not because we don't want to, but because we don't even know how to tune into what our heart truly wants and tune out of what the world thinks we should do.

In this weeks episode, I am joined by Rick William, a trauma-informed coach, breathwork facilitator and creator of transformational experiences for heart-led men.

We talk about the three aspects of creating personal freedom, our inner world (the feminine), our outer world the (masculine) and the integrated game (masculine and feminine integration).

We also talk about the important topic of shame and how to overcome it.

The key topics are:

🪵 Why you keep repeating the same experiences

🪵 How to overcome shame

🪵 The power of voicing your shame

🪵 The new model of personal development work

🪵 Practices to get in tune with your inner wisdom and emotions

🪵 Inner game, outer game and integrated game of creating

🪵 Pitfalls of being only outwardly or inwardly focused

🪵 How to find your uniqueness

In this weeks mini-episode, I talk about the 4 types of sex that we have. Each varying in pleasure, connection, emotionally engagement and nurturing.

I talk about the types of sex that you don't want to me having in a relationship and how to experience the high levels of sex and why.
