Raul Espinosa is the Executive Director of All Kings, a peer-led men's group dedicated to mental health, trauma processing, and leadership development. In this episode, we discuss the importance of emotional intelligence and the impact of unresolved trauma on men's lives. We explore the concepts of masculine and feminine energies and the societal expectations placed on men and dive into the connection between lack of emotional expression and high rates of incarceration, particularly among marginalized communities.
