In this episode, Lindsey sits down with Connor Beaton, the founder of ManTalks, an international organization focused on improving the lives, relationships, and leadership of men. His recently published book, Men’s Work: A Practical Guide to Face Your Darkness, End Self Sabotage and Find Freedom provides men with tangible tools and exercises to deal with pain, harsh self-talk and relentless sabotage.
This episode sheds light on the root of toxic masculinity that has become ingrained within our society. Plus, Linds and Connor talk about dating in 2023, the loneliness epidemic + men’s desire for true leadership and liberation. 
We also talk about:

Toxic masculinity 

The cultural norms of masculinity 

Tools to regulate the nervous system as a parent

Men facing their shadow + meeting their pain

Initiation into manhood vs. womanhood

Dating apps, AI + losing social capital
