The modern world is not as sane as it thinks it is. One of the most powerful men on the planet called empathy "civilizational suicide" while he exploits human and natural resources to their violent depletion. In a world of sociopathic governments and conglomerates, we crave what makes us human more than ever. To help illustrate, a binary: masculine and feminine. Not gender-dependent but rather spiritual polarities contained in all genders; ancient archetypes inherited from our collective…

Masculine-dominant cultures are terrible at grieving, whether it's actual loss of life or the decaying of institutions, ideas, hopes, futures -- and that's by design. We have hardly any skill or stomach for the thing we’re all inevitably careening toward, and perhaps that's one of the biggest reasons we're bubbling over with anxiety, depression, avoidance, and cruelty as a group.

Codependency influences us to be responsible for making other people feel better. Success in that area is what can determine a sense of personal value, but this creates suffering. A more objective truth is that we can support each other but the work to quell our upset and evolve is ours alone. And boundaries – a trait of the masculine light – is where that healthy separation begins.
Discussing behavior traits of the feminine shadow and their impact on relationships. When we’re stuck in the feminine shadow, our self-image is usually not great.

A masculine-dominated culture is asked to stop hustling and stay home instead? As the world asks for feminine traits to take the lead in uncertain, community-focused times, those obedient to the masculine face fear and anxiety about a new way of being. Let's talk about it.
This episode I'm paying tribute to legendary sports broadcaster and WRHU mentor Ed Ingles who passed away this week. I discuss how his mentorship helped me overcome my own self-imposed silence and get me on the path to self-discovery, self-expression, and self-healing, as well as the patient, nurturing ways this broadcasting legend empowered college students to follow their dreams.
