68 | There's Something About Sam...and Men's Mental Health

We're back with an unvarnished conversation about life, challenges, and growth during the pandemic and beyond. Sam Powers, an experienced carpenter, shares his unique experiences of building a home for his family during these tumultuous times and how this process allowed him to connect deeper with his children and navigate a world reshaped by a healing movement led predominantly by women.We don't shy away from the tough topics. We openly discuss the struggles men face in seeking help with mental health and loneliness. Drawing from Sam's personal experiences, we examine the necessity of creating safe spaces for men to express their fears and challenges. We emphasize the importance of self-awareness, understanding when it's time to step back and stop pushing for solutions that aren't being received, and the empowering effect of expressing emotions. We conclude our conversation reflecting on the divine feminine and its connection to men's mental health. We explore how a 12-step program can structure self-accountability and serve as a healing tool, especially in times of grief. Sam opens up about his experiences with self-care, and how therapy and a really amazing retreat helped him understand and manage his personal narrative. Tune in for an episode filled with insight, transformation, and an honest look at navigating life's challenges. Each chapter of our conversation offers a fresh perspective, a nugget of wisdom, and a chance to see life through a different lens.
