Heart of Man

About Heart of Man

Life as a man can be tough. We're flooded with messages on who to be & how to act, all while we carry the weight to lead, provide & perform. We do what works on the surface, but often lose touch with the man we truly are. Eventually, this backfires: Partners lose trust. Intimacy fades. Relationships break down. Performance suffers. Heart of Man is for the man ready to go deeper—to walk the integrated path, reclaim who he is at his core & discover what it means to live embodied in leadership, love & life. Join Alex in raw conversations with world-class leaders, exploring the modern man's path.

   Justin Patrick Pierce: The Inner War That Keeps Men From Feeling Free | EP 87

   Justin Patrick Pierce is back for his third round on Heart of Man, and this conversation is just as good as our first two... For those new to his work, Justin is a sacred intimacy teacher who co-founded the Yoga of Intimacy with his wife, Londin Angel Winters. Our first conversation touched on desire itself and how we can use it deliberately to enliven our love life... In our second, Londin joined us to explore keeping the fire alive long-term in partnership... And in this conversation, we examine the common conflict, especially within a lot of high performers: this persistent question around how we can feel more free, specifically how we can experience freedom regardless of our circumstances. Many men attempt to get there through external means, whether it's through building status, power, or influence. Others might pursue it through optionality with women: variety, and not wanting to be tied down to one woman. And what we examine is how the underlying pain of not feeling free and the actions we take from that place actually intensify the experience of not feeling free. We also explore how we can actually work with this inner conflict in ourselves through an exploration of the inner marriage. Here, Justin brings me through a guided practice: and this one gets raw. It gets real. It gets vulnerable, as I reveal the inner battles I was experiencing with myself before I left Bali. And if that's not enough, rest assured, things get spicy towards the end of our interview, where Justin offers us a preview of his upcoming book. In this conversation, discover: Why desire is a quiet rejection of the present moment, showing up as "not enough" or "too much" How a deck of cards took Justin from perceiving he feels nothing to becoming emotionally literate What the inner marriage is: the relationship between the part of you that judges and the part that feels The feelings that are often underneath a man's anger A live practice where Justin guides me through my fear before leaving Bali Why no amount of success or recognition will make you feel seen if you cannot see yourself How to put your inner critic to work instead of being ruled by it A first look at the Seven Scales of Sexual Desire: grounded body, directive breath, and commanding voice What stuck with me personally is how much of my own striving has been an attempt to be seen as a good man. To be of use. To be of value. And in our 15-minute practice together, I had the chance to find all of that acknowledgement in myself... This episode's for anyone who's chased freedom through success, status, or women, and still feels trapped. — Connect with Alex: ◼ Think we might be a good fit to work together?

   Welcome to 'Heart of Man'

   Life as a man can be tough... We get flooded with messages on who to be & how to act, all while we carry the constant pressure to lead, provide & perform. And so, as a response, we adapt... At the extremes, certain men do this by cutting themselves off from qualities in themselves that are considered masculine, because the narrative is that masculinity or being masculine is toxic. Other men swing to the other extreme, cutting themselves off from qualities like gentleness and openheartedness, being told that such qualities are effeminate, weak or non-masculine. Both sides of the spectrum learn what lets them stay part of the tribe, keeps them relevant, and gets their needs met. Another way to say this is we learn what works and gets us results... But in all the men I've spoken to, this has come with a heavy price... Somewhere along the way of becoming somebody for everybody else, they've cut themselves off from essential aspects of themselves and became a nobody to themselves. Eventually, the ways that they've adapted from who they are, the very things that might have brought them external success, begin to backfire: The closeness and intimacy you once had in your relationship is no longer there, and you don't know why. Conflicts are increasing, and you feel at a loss for what your partner is really asking from you. You feel tired because you perceive you're doing everything you can, and it's still not enough. She's still not happy. You react in ways that you're not proud of, but don't know how to respond differently. No matter how much you achieve, it's difficult to separate your worth from what you do. And with that, it never feels like enough. And perhaps you now stand there, realizing you have everything you said you've always wanted, asking yourself, "Is this really it?" The question is: How can you lead a life that you don't feel you need to escape from? How can you create a life that's worth living? A life where you don't just feel like a leader in your business or vocation, but in every area of your life, whether it's your personal, love, or work life. Where you can look yourself in the mirror at the end of the day, look yourself in the eyes, and say: "I am proud of you." And really mean it. Heart of Man is my answer. This channel is for the man ready to reclaim who he is at his core & learn what it means to live fully embodied in leadership, love and life. Who wants to move powerfully through the world, no longer using his compensations as a crutch to appear strong, but rather wants to know how he can lead with embodied strength by being deeply in contact with who he is. Join men's relationship coach & breathwork teacher Alex Lehmann in raw conversations with world-class leaders in men’s work, relationships, intimacy and embodiment, exploring an integrated path for the modern man.

   How Do I Stop Rejecting Myself Before Anyone Else Can? [Coaching Session With Sebastian] | EP 86

   In this coaching session, I had the honour of sitting down with Sebastian for an in-depth conversation about rejection, the fear of being rejected, and the ways we can end up rejecting ourselves in the process. Our session began with Sebastian sharing a recent encounter with a woman he connected with at a retreat. As we explored what happened, he recognised early on that he was the very person who rejected himself before she ever had the opportunity to do so. Him sharing that experience opened the door to a much deeper pattern within Sebastian, one that had shaped much of his life. Together, we explored the ways Sebastian had learned to present himself throughout his life in order to earn approval, recognition, and acceptance. We traced this pattern back to childhood, including the experiences that taught him that distinct aspects of himself, such as his softness, love, and vulnerability, were not welcome. This became an opportunity to examine the ways he was still meeting himself with rejection, harshness, and the demand to be different. We explored what it could look like to meet fear directly, to be with it, and to reconnect with the parts of himself he had learned to push away. In this coaching session, we explore: How Sebastian misread a moment with a woman at a retreat and rejected himself before she ever could The childhood story that taught him his love and softness weren't welcome Why meeting fear, rather than overriding it, is essential to developing genuine confidence The difference between strength that comes from propping ourselves up and strength that comes from embracing all aspects of ourselves What it looks like to choose yourself, regardless of how anyone else responds What emerged for Sebastian during the breathwork session and the insights he took away What moved me most was watching Sebastian realise that the very parts of himself he judged the most actually hold some of his greatest sources of strength and power. This episode's for anyone who's spent their life protecting themselves from rejection and fear, without fully recognising the ways they may have been rejecting themselves. — Connect with Alex: ◼ Think we might be a good fit to work together?
