The Podcast
Emotional Wellness for men
Welcome to Selfed, a unique podcast that delves into the unexplored territory of emotional growth and maturity for men. In a society that often encourages men to be more emotionally expressive and available, we aim to show you what that journey truly looks like. Through real-life experiences, insights, and challenges, we guide men on the path to emotional wellness.
My journey into emotional maturity began through therapy, Yoga Teacher Training, self-help books, and working in spaces typically dominated by women. But what truly transformed my understanding was connecting with other men, hearing their struggles, and having open, honest conversations about the immaturity, avoidance, and ignorance we often face. These discussions were not only eye-opening but also crucial to my own healing and growth.
Selfed is not just a podcast, it's a personal journey that I embarked on during the pandemic. After a pause following my “graduation“ from therapy, I've returned with even greater intention. Whether you're here to listen to the podcast, read our blog, or both, you’ll find a wealth of experiences and resources that I've personally found helpful on my journey of self-discovery and emotional wellness.

Selfed 34 - Let Your Standards Set Your Reality
When our reality dictates our standards, settling often follows. In this episode of Selfed, I reflect on the importance of setting standards that align with who you truly are, rather than letting circumstances define them. I’m grateful for friends who help me stay true to myself, even as I navigate new challenges in Portland, OR. The real strength lies not just in resilience, but in the practice of letting go of heavy, negative emotions.
Selfed 08 - manufacturing manifestations
In this episode, I delve into a dream that illustrated my energetic capacity through the symbolism of a dolphin and an octopus. The octopus, with its many tentacles, represents the ability to grasp multiple things, but at the cost of mobility. The dolphin, on the other hand, embodies freedom and fluidity. I explore how these animals reflect my approach to focus and letting go, and discuss how community support expands our capacity to serve and sustain our mission.
