What It Really Means to Be a Man Without Alcohol

You quit drinking.

You meditate.

You read all the books on masculinity.

 

And then your partner looks you in the eye and says:

“It feels like I’m married to a little boy.”

 

That’s what happened to me.

And it broke me—so I rebuilt.

 

In this episode, I unpack a quote from John Wineland and explore what masculinity really means when you stop performing and start embodying. We’re talking nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and how to live with clarity, stillness, and integrity—without reaching for the bottle to fake it.

 

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to lead from your core—this one’s for you.
