<p>It’s our first birthday! In this anniversary episode, Eric and Tim look back on 58 conversations about men’s work, embodiment, and personal growth—told through a queer lens and grounded in community. We share surprising messages from listeners who felt less alone, and reflect on moments that changed us: Jonathan Scott’s “diamonds in the surf” tribute to queer lineage; Chef Ava’s practice of “scanning the room with love”; Hannah O’Rourke’s clarity on asexuality and sourcing confidence from within; and Gregory Ganymedes on projection—the pedestal and the villain, both born in us.</p><p>We talk about nerves, training wheels, and what practice makes possible; moving from Provincetown to Denver; launching <strong>MyEmbodiment.com</strong> to bring live breathwork, meditation, and yoga to anyone, anywhere; and the relationships that made this show real—special gratitude to producer Chad Rossi and the Provincetown Recording Studio.</p><p>If this conversation serves you, share it with someone you love.
