She's Not the Problem, but You're the Solution
Mindfully Masculine: Personal Growth and Mental Health for Men
Manage episode 519998708 series 3012945
In this first episode of our new series on The Masculine in Relationship by G.S. Youngblood, Charles and Dan dive into the foreword, preface, and opening chapters of the book that’s redefining modern masculinity.
They explore why real leadership in a relationship starts with grounded presence—not control—and how polarity, purpose, and emotional steadiness shape connection. This isn’t about blame or “fixing” your partner; it’s about showing up as a man who leads through clarity, direction, and self-awareness.
Listen as Charles and Dan unpack why Youngblood’s message challenges both modern culture and men’s comfort zones, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of purpose, power, and love in the episodes ahead.
