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 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 14 - Self-prioritization is not selfish
In this episode, I delve into the importance of self-prioritization, particularly in dating and time management. Through recent dating experiences where my time was disrespected, I realized the value of setting boundaries and recognizing the difference between prioritizing oneself and being selfish.
Selfed 07 - Expect success
In this episode, I explore the lessons learned from both asserting and respecting boundaries. Boundaries, whether we set them or honor them, make us better humans. The main focus is on shifting our mindset from expecting things to go wrong to expecting success. Through personal stories and metaphors, I discuss what it means to truly anticipate success in our lives and the impact that mindset can have.
selfed 06 - malleable boundaries
In this episode, I delve into the complexities of creating and upholding boundaries. After experiencing a redirecting rejection, I realized that boundaries are as challenging to uphold as they are to set. I discuss how malleable boundaries allow situations and people to slip through, leading to unwanted outcomes. The focus here is on the importance of firm boundaries in creating high-quality connections and opportunities that align with who we are.
