Not All Men, But Almost Always with Traver Boehm of Man UNcivilized [Relationships, Mental Health & Systemic Culture of Violence]

Out of over 260+ episodes here on the Room to Grow Podcast, this conversation is hands-down one of my favourites to date. We're speaking with Traver Boehm, an author of two books, 2 time TEDx Speaker, men's coach and founder of the UNcivilized Men's Movement, which is radically redefining the way men around the globe experience their masculinity by uniquely blending both primal elements of manhood with massive doses of consciousness. With a background in professional bodyguarding, Mixed Martial Arts, Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver also teaches people to skillfully use the inevitable pain of their lives as fuel for growth and positive change. One of the MANY reasons we're planning a part two is that we didn't even have enough time to get into a huge portion of his journey. After losing a pregnancy, his marriage and his business partnership all within weeks of each other, he created and embarked upon a social experiment to spend the next 12 months as though they were his last to live. This conversation is raw, real and unfiltered. Today, we're talking about: -How men show up in relationships and the biggest reason why women end relationships (outside of abuse) and how men can cultivate a superpower to make the feminine feel safe in unexpected ways -The powerful message Traver has for men everywhere and how he's looking to change the entire culture and spread his message, along with addressing where men need to take responsibility for their own emotional health -Men's mental health, and the mountain of male trauma that often goes unaddressed as males have so much less social support than women and a suicide rate that is 3X higher -Traver's take on one of the biggest reasons why he believes mass shootings end up happening and what to do about it. -What we can learn from our pain   Traver's fire and passion for what he does is so evident, and this episode is an absolute must-listen for anyone and everyone. Most importantly, please share! More people need to hear this powerful message.   Looking for part 2 with Traver?
