111 - The f**kboy, the alpha male and the healthy male
Daily Devotion™ is now live on the App Store & Google Play — unlock your healthiest, happiest, highest self with somatic daily wellness rituals, free for 7 days → [REDEEM]
We all know an alpha male (and have been hurt by one too!), but have you ever wondered why this dynamic occurs, how it develops, and how it shows up in life, love, & relationships? Today, Louise chats with Zack Alexander, a practitioner who skillfully blends psychology, somatics, and spirituality, about the concepts of the healthy male, the alpha male, and the 'scared little boy,' and most of all - how to navigate these situations.
Louise & Zack discuss:
Male sexual promiscuity
The concepts of avoidance and running from feeling
The ancestral drivers of suppression of help-seeking behavior
Why (in hetero relationships) women want their men to be more emotional, until it happens
The fine line between ‘being emotional’ and ‘trauma dumping’
The pair also discuss ways to support the alpha males in our lives by fostering an environment that encourages emotional expression, vulnerability, and genuine connection. We ask - do men need to heal with men? In relationships? Or in community? And Zack tells us all.
