Inspired to Be Authentic

The Impact Masculinity has on Being Authentic, with Blake Spence


Listen Later

Blake Spence talks openly about the impact masculinity can have on our ability to be authentic. He shares his journey with us on how he is redefining what it means to be a man and how this is having a positive impact on his relationship with himself and others. He shares a deep personal story about a young gay boy he went to school with who completed suicide and the impact this had on him. Together we share our experience growing up gay and we break down some of the dynamics we've experienced within the gay community.
