But Can You Hold My Heart?

Activate Yourself
In this episode I speak with a young man who moved to Denver from New York to start med school, last year After joking with one another briefly about parents who spell their children's names weird, I do what I do best and take command of the conversation by turning simple questions I get asked into runaway monologues. We manage to explore a few different topics together, led by his prompting, including how I feel about missing people and things, my experience doing ice baths, the place my writing holds in my life and why it's important, and my commitment to my relationship with myself. Contrary to other episodes I have published, I actually am going to include this guy's name, but only because it was an essential part of the conversation we had. This won't be a regular practice.

When Preparation Meets Opportunity
In this episode, I sit down with a woman committed to the work of helping men rediscover their authenticity and step more boldly into a sense of healthy, integrated masculine empowerment. I met her recently on Instagram, when I stumbled across her page and her coaching program. We exchanged a few messages before I realized I should probably enroll in her program, because I had literally asked the internet where the program for men was one day after stumbling upon a similar course designed to help women step more boldly into their feminine energy. To see a woman so devoted to the empowerment of men is something truly rare in my experience of 21st century American culture. It certainly doesn't seem like the kind of thing most women are readily prepared to trumpet as vital, meaningful work. I had asked her a few days before enrolling in her course if she would possibly like to be my first planned guest on the podcast, and this was supposed to be our first video chat to test the waters and feel things out. Needless to say, we turned it into an episode.

Hooked
After giving this guy a hard time about living halfway across the city, I reigned in my ego a bit so we could have a vulnerable conversation together I begin by expressing to him how unexcitable I've become in my life. This trails into a conversation about external validation, the false stories we tell ourselves, becoming risk averse, late 90's and early 2000's television, censorship, the terrifying impact poorly managed media consumption may be having on the minds of our children, and eventually circles back around to how our confidence showing up authentically in the world is connected to our tendency to project our fears and assumptions onto situations and relationships. This entire episode is actually a great follow-up to the one I released yesterday, where the sociologic idea of "the looking glass self" was brought up in conversation. It's kind of crazy how so many things recently seem to be lining up in strange ways.

Heroes and Villains
The gentleman in this episode, recently back in Denver after several years spent between Chicago and Nashville, hopped in on his way home following an afternoon spent hanging out at one of his favorite sports bars. We explore gratitude, integrity, and voluntary self-sacrifice in service to those we love, by the story of his re-connection and history with the friend group that helped him through what arguably may have been some of the toughest years of his life. On the other side of that, victimhood, hypocrisy, and malice through the relationships with his father and brother.

Cut That Man Loose
CORRECTION January 19, 2024 lol In this episode we talk about what I do with my time during my off days, what my dream job may be, the fact that I would like to be more intentional with how I spend my time and set goals for myself, and we also explore what it may look like when it's time to exit a relationship.

Predictive Psychoanalysis
In this conversation, after touching briefly on both the headache of dealing with a hit and run car accident as well as how outrageously expensive college tuition has become, we do a mini deep dive into egoic dating behaviors, rejection, self-worth, and ways having our needs unmet through our relationships with our parents may seep into our adult behavior.

Icarus
Conversation from 11/13/23 In this episode, I speak with a gentleman on his way home from a therapy session. We touch a bit on meditation, journaling, and mindful use of the word “should.” I also detail to him my personal challenge finding comfort and stability during periods of ease in my life, and he describes how it’s been difficult finding a new sense of purpose for himself after battling cancer and having the wings chopped off of his former career goals. This is one of those conversations I really wish I had had more time with. I think we could have gotten much deeper into the rabbit hole, given more than 15 minutes together. Still, I think there’s a lot of good in here.

Strength of the Unit
In this episode I speak with a group visiting Denver from Switzerland for the wedding of a good friend's daughter. This conversation actually happened on the 4 year anniversary of me moving to Denver. We talk about how things have been going, where I am in my life, in my mindset, in my personal growth journey. We talk briefly about how I employ mirroring as a conversational strategy. I also speak with one gentleman in the group about his preoccupations, his lack of confidence providing well for his family, and potential reminders he can keep for himself to allow himself to access ease more regularly in his life.

The Devil You Know
In this episode, I speak with an outstanding young woman who, while ferociously committed to the grindset which will likely grant her an abundant, free, comfortable future; while being the rock for her family, for her many brothers and sisters; despite being a distinguished source of light, knowing herself, and commanding emotional intelligence extremely well, she is still somehow struggling in the present to identify genuine opportunities for connection with the type of man she could confidently invite into her life as an equal partner and comrade. Buckle up and enjoy the ride! 'The Two Parent Privilege' - Melissa Kearney @do_i_look_like_a_steve for my journal. Poke around at your leisure. @itsnothingpersonalpodcast for all podcast related content. Twitter, tiktok, youtube etc. also in the works. Any advice on that would be muy appreciated.

A Break from Abuse
In this episode, I speak with two friends, one of whom is visiting Colorado to get away, temporarily, from her problematic romantic situation. She was unbelievably generous and open with me, detailing her relationship with her father, her experience with physical abuse (both past and present), and her turmoil trying to navigate her current set of circumstances.

Estranged
In this episode I speak with a gentleman who has spent the last year visiting and reconnecting with his older sister, after not seeing her for over a decade. We talk about why he hasn't seen her in so long, the lore of her familial estrangement, and what it has been like for him getting to know her and her kids.
