  • Men in Shakespeare

    I had fun speaking with Sreemedha, my gracious host, on how Shakespeare can help men discern between healthy and unhealthy masculine behavior. We jumped right in contrasting specific male characters in the plays— their mindset and actions that helped them win or lose what they wanted most.

  • Pressure to perform

    Such a great conversation with my esteemed colleague Sana on Mind Over Masculinity. We both did our best to offer some practical insight for men ( and women) struggling with the ridged constructs of instant transformation and perfectionism. Highly recommend to other guests and listeners

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maybe Men Aren’t Silent. Maybe We Don’t Give Them Time to Speak. | Robin Quinn Keehn
Q: Before we get into the conversation, I would love for you to introduce yourself to our listeners, and tell us a little about your work and what brought you to this work journey.
Robin shares her background as a mother and entrepreneur who learned to slow down and align her actions with who she wants to be, rather than pleasing others, which informs her approach to helping others build honest, vulnerable connections.
Redefining Strength and Healthy Masculinity: Todd Krause on Flexibility
Q: What are some steps, practices, or a shift of perspective for someone starting down this path?
Start by focusing on qualifications and willingness to learn rather than gender or race; provide training to disadvantaged groups; rely on effort and capability as predictors of success, rather than just credentials.
Redefining Strength and Healthy Masculinity: Todd Krause on Flexibility
Q: How should people be understanding masculinity?
He argues that men have emotions too, and masculinity should complement femininity. Strength should include adaptability, cooperation with others, and a recognition that leadership is about support and collaboration, not simply dominance.
Redefining Strength and Healthy Masculinity: Todd Krause on Flexibility
Q: What's the biggest misconception you've encountered when it comes to rethinking what masculinity actually means?
Todd explains that masculinity has been framed around an unrealistic standard of invulnerability and solitary problem-solving, often reinforced by pop culture, which distorts younger men's understanding. A healthier view recognizes emotions, interdependence with femininity, and the value of flexibility rather than rigidity.
Masculinity, Conditioning and Equality: Norbert Heuser on Free Choice
Q: What advice would you give to listeners about stepping away from harmful masculine norms?
Question the rules you've been given, identify what truly serves the well‑being of your family, and be brave enough to seek a healthier, more honest path.
