Raising Better Boys in a Patriarchal World

In this episode of Feed the Matriarchy, Heather and Johanna sit down with Breeze (@Breezleweezle)—perinatal mental health therapist, content creator, mother of five, and creator of the Better Boys Project—to talk about raising boys differently in a culture shaped by patriarchy, emotional disconnection, and rigid gender roles. Together, they explore deconstructing evangelical beliefs, navigating religious trauma, fostering curiosity instead of shame, and teaching boys emotional intelligence, consent, and compassion. This conversation dives into motherhood, masculinity, power dynamics, authenticity, and the radical act of raising children who stay connected to themselves and others in a world that often teaches them not to.
