Summary

I break down what I call the modern man’s mother wound - how growing up with a deep distrust or disdain for men can shape a man’s identity, relationships, and sense of self. I explore how this wound forms, how it shows up in adult life, and why so many men struggle with boundaries, authority, and male relationships as a result. Most importantly, I walk you through practical, grounded steps you can take to reclaim your masculinity and build a stronger, more integrated sense of who you are as a man.
