Welcome to Rebuilding the Village with your host, Michael Read. Today, we're joined by Jason, a men's group facilitator and coach, who shares his personal journey of overcoming emotional disconnection and how it shaped his relationships. We explore the challenges that lead to dysfunctional behaviors in men, like the 'nice guy' syndrome and the absence of steady masculine role models.

Together, we discuss the concept of the healthy masculine—grounded, present, and sensitive—and the importance of cultivating these energies alongside the healthy feminine, which embodies radical devotion to love. The conversation highlights the power of accountability, mentorship, and community in men's development, dispelling the myth of the lone wolf. Jason also offers insights on finding or creating a transformative men's group and the role of shadow work in fostering growth and connection.
