I really enjoyed my time with Ettore Toppi on the Authenticity Road Podcast – Adventures in Men’s Work. We have a broad and deep about men’s work, in all its glory and messiness. We talk openly about the ManKind Project’s origin, how it’s evolved, and how we continue to expand our understandings. Check it out.
“Toxic” Femininity & Masculinity: How The Establishment Divides Us | Boysen Hodgson
“Masculinity and femininity are inherently beautiful, yet the media has distorted these words with the phrase “toxic.” Together, now we get to decide as a culture how to move forward with a new narrative. Society is changing, and we’re not going backward.” – Boysen Hodgson
What factors of our culture and society are no longer serving the feminine and masculine? How can we come and work together to create something new that fits what we want?
In Wellness + Wisdom episode 258, Marketing & Communications Director for The ManKind Project USA and author of The New Macho, Boysen Hodgson, explains what has created “toxic” masculinity and feminity, how men and women can process and connect through safe spaces, and the #IAmResponsible Campaign that MKP has launched in response to #MeToo.
Learn how men can support each other to heal from their past traumas, come to their whole masculine and feminine selves, and realign with women.
Peter and I talk about what it means to wake up in a time of great change … hence the title of the episode “Spiritual Awakening in Tipping Point Times.”

I was recently quoted in an article by Harvey Deutschendorf for Fast Company Magazine on building cultures of mentoring in organizations. The same article was republished in HR Professional Magazine. Building relational skills is an important aspect of men’s work.

maybe there is nothing new
that can be said
about a haunted house
all men
have one
maybe it’s not the house
but the man
spirits
in spite of best efforts
stick around
maybe it’s worth noting
that when the haunted
thing arrives
unbidden
mostly it wants nothing
but to be noticed
a man
will burn down the block
to not occupy space
with the spirit
when he
did not call it
and so it stretches
up into the smoke
and spreads itself out
pervasive
in every soft fingertip
of ashes
maybe it’s quieter
for a moment or two
in the blackened field
of the razed neighborhood
momentary
relief
then the sirens
what a man
refuses to see
will grow
it’s not the house
it’s worth noting
it’s quieter
when
he turns
and looks at it
the spirit
the thing haunting him
and grieves
and acknowledges
head bowed
usually
a soft rain can wash
the streaks
of ashes
from his face
