58. Man Becoming with Kyle Hamer

Welcome to Episode 58 - Man Becoming with Kyle Hamer

Mindful Men aims to inspire men to do some inwards reflecting. From who we are and how we're showing up in the world, to identifying areas within ourselves that need a bit of TLC in order for us to live authentically. 

But to do this means we sometimes need to touch on some topics that many men don't care to engage with, like masculinity, manhood, patriarchy and even feminism. These concepts are often red flags for men, as they're either too radical, or put a spotlight on things we're not feeling great about. 

Helping me explore these concepts is Kyle Hamer from Man Becoming. 

Kyle and I have a great chat about how these concepts form into social constructs (or contracts) about how boys and men should act, feel and think and speak. We challenge some of the social constructs of what it means to be a boy and man, and how this might look different in 2023 compared to the 1980s and 1990s when we grew up.
