MARK GROVES
About this episode
Modern masculinity faces many challenges, from a lack of clear role models to societal expectations that oscillate between extremes. This episode dives deep into the complex journey of healing for men, exploring the importance of reclaiming balance between the archetypes of the lover and the warrior, and why society's vilification of masculinity through terms like "toxic masculinity" can often do more harm than good. I highlight the need for men to embrace their values, build healthy boundaries, and undergo transformative initiations to rediscover their purpose. This is not just about healing old wounds but about fostering emotional growth and integrity. It’s a call to men to step forward, embrace their pain as a catalyst for purpose, and take risks for deeper love, connection, and authentic change.  Resources: — Watch the previous episodes in this series: — Never Enough: Unpacking The Father Wound: https://markgroves.com/episode/never-enough-unpacking-the-father-wound/  — Am I Too Much?
