56 ~ Men and Emotions with Ean Wood

Desire As Medicine Podcast

Join us as we welcome our first male guest. Ean Wood is a commercial fisherman, professional snowboarder, published writer, coach, and TEDx speaker, who shares his transformative journey of self-love with us. From childhood gatherings with his father and other men discussing their innermost feelings, to his extensive travels, Ean offers a compelling challenge to the rigid narratives of masculinity.
We reflect on our previous discussions with women about self-love, transitioning with Ean into the often overlooked male experience. We discuss how societal expectations push men towards relentless self-improvement and competition, often overshadowing the need for self-compassion.
Through personal stories and wise insights, we navigate the journey of self-love for men, including overcoming past struggles with addiction and self-abandonment. Ean sheds light on powerful practices like mirror work and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to foster self-acceptance and inner peace.
Our discussion explores the importance of self-love practices, the challenges of navigating gender dynamics in relationships, and the deep-seated fear of emotions many men face. We discuss the impact of validation on self-worth and the aspiration to cultivate a profound self-love.
Ean’s open and curious nature enriches our exploration, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the intricate and dynamic journey of self-love, both masculine and universal.
