Ep 50. The Manosphere - Are These Boys Ok?!

Happy Wellness Wednesday stunners! 🦋 guys i tripped and fell into the so-called 'manosphere' this weekend and very quickly climbed back out... sparked by Louis Theroux's latest documentary exploring red pill and alpha male culture....If you’re unfamiliar, the manosphere is a collection of online spaces where masculinity, dating, gender dynamics and modern relationships are very… passionately discussed. Watching it left me with a lot of thoughts - about hurt, belonging, identity, and what happens when people don’t quite know where to put their pain.In this episode I share some reflections from the documentary, why I think curiosity is often more useful than judgment, and how growth sometimes simply looks like choosing a different direction for our pain.Huge shoutout to @yourmoneymatesarah, whose reel I shared during the episode - I found her contribution to the conversation so thoughtful and incredibly well put 🫶🏻So this week we’re chatting growth, masculinity, the internet, and why sometimes the most radical thing we can do is keep stretching towards the light.Don’t forget to rate, review, like and subscribe — all that gorgeous goodness!Follow along:🎙️ @butterflyeffect.pod🦋 @laurenaimeeyd on IG & TikTokAnd you can now practice with me online via my new Patreon!Get weekly yoga classes, meditations, poetry & more ➡️ patreon.com/laurenaimee.
