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 40 - The Essence of connection is intentionality
In this episode, I dive into the idea that intentionality is the core of meaningful connections. Reflecting on death and relationship transitions, I realize that relationships without my active initiation often don’t last. It’s the masculine energy of pursuit that drives relationships forward, and my passive approach has cost me in both love and career.
Selfed 39 - self rejection is many mini acceptances
In this episode, I confront the discomfort of self-rejection and explore how many small acceptances of less-than-ideal situations build up over time. I share personal experiences where my low expectations led to feeling disappointed and deprioritized, and how these mini requests train us to believe we deserve less.
Selfed 23 - How does that serve you?
In Selfed Episode 23, I reflect on the significance of change and self-exploration. Traveling took me out of my daily roles and allowed me to reconnect with my true self—a dreamer living with consistency between beliefs and behaviors. The question "How does that serve you?" triggered a deeper understanding of my need for self-exploration, prompting me to assess where I am and why I'm here.
