Awakening the Sacred Masculine - A New Way Forward for Men with Brodie Simmons

Join Soulfully Seen - Turning Vulnerability into Your Superpower (starting June 19th)In this episode, I sit down with Brodie Simmons — a counselor, former teen rebel, and passionate advocate for men’s emotional healing  — who shares his incredible journey from selling drugs and getting into fights to healing and purpose. Brodie opens up about growing up in a suppressive environment, finding the one counselor who truly saw him, and how that experience inspired his path into mental health and advocacy for emotional expression, especially in men. We dive into societal conditioning, toxic masculinity, addiction as a coping mechanism, and the power of vulnerability in emotional healing.What you’ll hear:The Turning Point: Brodie shares how a deeply human connection with one counselor during his teenage years shifted his entire trajectory and opened his heart to growth and healing.Breaking the Masculinity Mold: We unpack the cultural conditioning that teaches men to suppress sadness and vulnerability— and how Brodie has learned to challenge and unravel those beliefs. We explore the outdated concept of the "alpha male" and explore what true leadership and strength look like— rooted in compassion, respect, and honor.The Hidden Cost of Suppression: Brodie reveals how even moments of joy and gratitude were once muted in his life due to emotional repression, and how reclaiming those feelings has expanded his capacity for connection and celebration.When Life Forces You to Feel: Brodie reflects on how unexpected life events and isolation during COVID cracked him open and forced him to confront patterns he had long ignored.Safe Spaces for Men: He shares the importance of having a sacred space where men can drop the societal mask and be truly seen, supported, and held without judgment— like the Mankind Project.Balancing Inner Masculine and Feminine Energies: Together, we discuss how integrating both masculine structure and feminine flow leads to embodiment, connection, and harmony in life and relationships.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Perfectly Broken: Path to Power Membership ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fill out the Contact Me to Work Together⁠⁠⁠⁠Soulfully Seen Women's Retreat ⁠⁠(September 7-10, 2025)Connect with Brodie:@lifetogetherwithbrodie | www.brodiesimmonscounseling.comLet’s Connect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@danistedman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠⁠⁠theperfectlybrokenpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
