What Men Lose When They're Told to Stop Crying with David Cutler

 "The only way to not feel uncomfortable is to take full responsibility for your inner landscape."I have one of my favorite people back on the show, David Cutler, and this time we went somewhere I've wanted to go for a while. We talk about men, feelings, and why there's still such a massive gap between men and women doing this kind of inner work. David shares his own story with a lot of honesty, including the moment at 13 when his dad made it clear that crying wasn't allowed anymore, and how martial arts, music, and embodied practice became the thing that kept him connected to himself when culture was pushing him out.We talk about where emotions actually live in the body, what it means to take self-responsibility without turning it into self-blame, and why codependency isn't the opposite of independence: it's the opposite of interdependence. We also get into positive projection, the blueprint our early relationships create for how we experience love, and what actually shifts when you stop outsourcing your emotional landscape and come back to yourself. David is one of the best manifesters I know, and by the end of this episode you'll understand exactly why.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSWhat gets shut down in men around age 13, and the cultural enforcement behind itWhy emotions aren't in your head.
