Description
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.
