The Vulnerability Of Positivity | Ep 273

I recently returned from a men’s work retreat through the Island of Men: a transformative program designed to help men connect and heal.I left with two main takeaways.1: There is a tremendous male loneliness and meaning epidemic. Men feel alone and unsure of what they are doing, why they are doing it, and feel like they have no one to talk it through with.2: There is vulnerability within positivity and success.I was asked about my purpose and realized that I was already living it (a journey over destination kind of thing), and I chose to do an improve comedy workshop over the deep introspective darkness exploration and healing that I would usually explore.Why? Because doing so felt more expansive (scary) than not. I realized I am more than fine to share my pain and shadow, but not my light.This was revolutionary. I now realise that I need to explore and express all aspects of myself.Reminder: You are invited to join the December Self-Care challenge in the Art of Self-Connection community. Lets stay sane this festive season!
