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 42: Homecoming
In this episode of Selfed, I reflect on my recent travels and experiences throughout March. From moving back home and attending conferences to witnessing rhinos in Africa and reassessing my love life, it was a month of growth and maturity.
Selfed 32 - Eliminate expectations
In this final episode recorded in St. Louis, I explore the connection between raising standards and eliminating expectations. Emotions run high as I reflect on the passion, excitement, and enthusiasm that come with embracing change. This episode builds on last week’s discussion about potential, showing how these concepts intertwine in our journey of growth.
Selfed 20 - Meet people where you are
In Selfed Episode 20, I challenge the idea of "meeting people where they are" and argue that it's more important to meet people where YOU are. I explore how adapting to others’ levels can highlight our own insecurities and create inconsistencies in our interactions. This episode is about aligning your energy and intentions with who you are, rather than adjusting to others’ circumstances.
Selfed 13 - a potato is still a potato
In this episode of Selfed, I reflect on a profound food analogy that my friend shared with me while we were cooking. As I struggled to cut sweet potatoes, my friend’s simple observation made me realize how much effort we often put into changing others instead of accepting them for who they are.
