Today I’m talking nerdy with Ryan Miller about the complexity of modern day masculinity. In this episode we’re diving into the societal and cultural messages men receive about what masculinity is, how many of these messages are unsupportive, restrictive, and negatively impact men's mental health, and how men can begin to redefine their experience of masculinity with themselves and their partners to create a space for greater safety and freedom of expression within their romantic and platonic relationships.
A little trigger warning before we begin that this conversation includes some touchy topics like sex, masturbation, and polarity. Sensitive listeners should be advised and open minds are always encouraged.
Ryan Miller is the Host of IGNITE U podcast where he bridges the worlds of play & performance. His education is in Somatics, Breathwork, Embodied Tantra, Animal Flow, and all things having to do with the body, and its full expression. Ryan supports men in getting in touch with their body, their expression, and their true power.
Before you dive in, I would love it if you could hit pause and leave us a 5 star review and a written review on whatever platform you’re listening on. In doing so, you help get this podcast into the ears and brains of more people like you.
