  • Summary

  • On This Walk is a podcast that explores meaning, purpose, alignment, and listening to the deeper call for our lives. It’s a journey of exploration, of questions, of experiences and hard-won wisdom. It’s a journey of re-membering and re-connecting. And personally, this is my offering, my prayer, my meditation to the universe, for us to once again live in the authentic, true nature and essence of who we are—healed and whole, personally and collectively.

    Understanding Men’s Vulnerabilities with Jed Diamond
    Aug 1 2023
    In our pursuit of a healthier and happier society, it is vital that we recognize the often-overlooked struggles faced by men concerning their emotional well-being. Despite living in a world brimming with technology and constant communication, an alarming number of men silently battle feelings of loneliness and disconnection. It's a subject that deserves our attention, empathy, and understanding.  This week on "On This Walk," my walking partner is Jed Diamond, founder of Men Alive. We discuss men's health and well-being, particularly the issue of male loneliness and the importance of connection. Jed shares his personal experiences and journey to becoming a hands-on father and promoting healthy fatherhood. We explore the concept of the shadow self, the need for balance between outer success and inner fulfillment, and the historical context of male-female relationships. We also discuss personal responsibility, the role of men's groups in fostering connection, and Jed's work with Men Alive and the Moonshot for Mankind project.

(14:14) The historical perspective on male and female roles (21:33) The tendency to project our own unresolved pain and wounds onto others (24:05) The need for a new paradigm to understand disconnection, trauma, and healing (26:05) The importance of personal change and self-reflection in addressing societal issues (33:28) Recognizing and addressing male loneliness as a fundamental need for connection (33:28) Reconnecting to aliveness and purpose: Advice for men seeking fulfillment and overcoming loneliness.

They want your presence. And so my journey, what I've been teaching and writing about is to help men and the women who love them, the families that are connected, to find the way to be a full, complete whole man, which for me includes being successful in the outer world and making a good living and doing something that we believe in, but also being able to be a hands-on dad and a hands-on husband and a hands-on mate, and a hands-on person that is present to himself and other people.” – Jed (12:07) Our Guest Jed Diamond is a prominent expert in gender-specific healing and men's health, with 17 books to his name, including bestsellers The Irritable Male Syndrome and Surviving Male Menopause.

  • Unraveling the Journey of Self-Discovery with Ryan Matthew

    Unraveling the Journey of Self-Discovery with Ryan Matthew
    Jul 25 2023
    Are you tired of drifting through life, yearning for something more? Deep within us all, there's an insatiable craving for purpose and meaning that ignites our souls and drives us to make every moment count. But in today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get lost in the chaos, losing sight of what truly matters. This week on "On This Walk," my walking partner is Ryan Matthew. We dive into a deep conversation about personal journeys and finding purpose in life. Ryan shares his experiences of seeking external solutions to his problems, only to realize that the root of his issues was internal. Through self-discovery and facing suppressed emotions, Ryan undergoes significant changes, including divorce and loss of financial wealth.  Ryan shares a profound story about a transformative experience he had, which symbolizes personal and collective transformation. We also discuss the fear some men have of embracing their feminine side and the importance of integrating both masculine and feminine energies. We challenge the notion that exploring emotions and self-discovery is solely feminine and advocate for a holistic approach to personal growth. We invite you to reflect on your own journey and how you may be locking yourself away from experiencing the fullness of life. The journey to self-discovery is a personal one, but it's also a journey we all share as human beings. In This Episode (03:30) Ryan’s struggle to find purpose and meaning in life (05:19) His journey of deconstruction and self-discovery (08:32) Finding greater purpose and resilience through deconstruction and divine guidance (12:23) The fears and needs that arise when making a major life change. (13:12) The story of the man in the cage (20:55) How Ryan showed love and compassion to the broken man in the story (22:00) The man's transformation from being wretched. (28:25) The symbolism of the man's loss of his wife, daughter, and mother (34:11) The man's de-evolution and carrying the weight of pain  (43:21) The transformation that occurred in Ryan’s life when pouring love into the man in the cage (45:37) The fear of losing joy and love (48:14) The fear of merging in relationships (49:11) The individuality and collectivism pendulum swing (50:24) Fear of losing masculinity in personal growth (52:51) The transformation journey and the reunification of self (59:16) The universe's bigger signs and ignoring inner whispers  Notable Quote “I had just lost all of my financial wealth. I had just lost my marriage. My band had just ended all of these big things, and so there was a lot of turmoil in my life at the moment. But as I was pouring love into this man, I was pouring love into myself. The impact that those losses had on my life started to lessen. And it was like I was able to feel the emotion. And I was also able to feel a ton of joy. I realized that so much of what I was running away from in my life was this joy. This joy that was growing inside of me, and I'm still experiencing it today. The more I sit out in nature, the more this joy just continues to bubble up in me.” – Ryan (43:51) Our Guest Ryan Matthew is a tenacious truth seeker, certified professional coach, lightning protection master installer, and a powerful musician/songwriter. He has spent the second half of his life dedicated to unlocking his deeper purpose here, bringing his healing music to the people and becoming a lover of life and all things alive.

    What does it mean to be a man in a world where divorce rates are soaring? Are we missing a vital piece of the puzzle, a key ingredient that can unlock the secrets to successful relationships? It's time to confront these questions head-on and embark on a journey that steps in between the current, conflicting notions of masculinity.  This week on "On This Walk," my walking partner is Elliott Katz. We discuss the challenges men face in relationships and explore the importance of leadership, decision-making, and taking responsibility in relationships. Elliott shares his personal journey of realizing the need for these qualities after his divorce. We also discuss the impact of gender roles, media stereotypes, and the importance of respect in relationships. We emphasize finding a balance between vulnerability and strength, as well as the significance of personal growth and communication. In This Episode (02:28) Elliott’s journey of self-discovery (06:45) Navigating the path towards seeking and finding timeless wisdom for personal growth and leadership development. (10:30) The shift in gender roles due to industrialization. (12:23) How negative stereotypes in the media can affect men's behavior and lead to relationship issues. (13:48) Understanding warning signs for personal introspection and relationship assessment in men's lives.

Notable Quotes “You see a difficult situation, step forward, take charge, and it makes the woman feel so safe and protected. It makes her love you so much. That's what she wants. She wants a man who takes charge and the decision to be made. You're not imposing your decision. You can say, “Well, I think we should do this here. What do you think?” Instead of asking, “What should we do?” Don't say that. Come forward. Don't come empty-handed. Make a decision. And if she has input, that's great, but don't just leave it to her. Don't think you're being too passive. Don't think, well, I'm showing her I believe in gender equality. To me, the main thing is leadership.” – Elliott (18:32) Our Guest Elliott Katz is an accomplished author, penning two books, including his remarkable debut titled "Being the Strong Man a Woman Wants: Timeless Wisdom on Being a Man." Not stopping there, he has also graced the airwaves, making appearances on over 200 radio shows and television broadcasts.
