RMP 087 - Transforming Emotional Turmoil with Jake Woodard
The state of masculinity is undergoing massive changes, and it’s affecting us all. Today’s guest, Jake Woodard, has faced dark circumstances and grew from them to become a heart centered and responsible man. His work is now dedicated to helping others find their way to the light. We learn about the power of a good cry, how to de-armor our hearts, and why feeling our feelings is vital to emotional health. Remember, almost all of the work we talk about on the podcast needs brotherhood or a space holder, whether that be virtual or physical. If you need help finding support, check the links below!
