On this episode, Travis talks with founder of Embodied Masculine -- a global community and movement dedicated to training, supporting and empowering men to live purpose-driven lives -- Amir Khalighi. At the core of his work, Amir works to create initiated men through embodiment practices so they can take ownership of their responsibility to the world. He believes, "We are the men responsible and called upon to change the face of masculinity in our society. We are responsible for the leaders we put in power, for they only reflect our collective subconscious and values. We take responsibility for where we are as a society, who we are, what we've done, and where we go from here." Topics discussed include: the challenges of his childhood that led to growing up on the streets, the harm he did to himself and others throughout his young adulthood, recovery, the models of healthy masculinity that he found, masculine and feminine embodiment practices, addressing the unconsciousness in all of us - including the internalized misogyny we've all ingested, the reconciliation work required in men's work, and Travis's experience attending Amir's Embodied Masculine weekly circle.
