I’m often asked to examine and debunk some of the myths and info gaps surrounding a woman’s desire and arousal, especially in long term relationships. So I sat down for a phenomenal conversation with one of the leading global researchers in sexual health: Dr. Lori Brotto. If you want real science, practices that work, and great conversation on sexual health, listen in. We dive into what research is showing about arousal, the effects of chronic stress on desire, and so much more. Let me know your thoughts! Hit me up on Instagram @mantalks or leave a review.  Dr. Lori Brotto is a Professor in the UBC Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and a Registered Psychologist in Vancouver, Canada. She is the director of the UBC Sexual Health Laboratory where research primarily focuses on developing and testing psychological and mindfulness-based interventions for women with sexual desire and arousal difficulties and women with chronic genital pain. Her book, Better Sex Through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire (2018) is a trade book of her research demonstrating the benefits of mindfulness for women’s sexual concerns. Her current knowledge translation project, #DebunkingDesire, uses social media to debunk myths about sexual desire and share findings from the scientific literature on the nature of women’s sexual desire.   Connect with Lori Website: brottolab.com #DebunkingDesire: www.debunkingdesire.com Twitter: @DrLoriBrotto Book: Better Sex Through Mindfulness Are you looking to find your purpose, navigate transition or fix your relationships, all with a powerful group of men from around the world?

Is the warrior in us to blame for the division we see in today’s society? Yes...and no. Join me for an in-depth look at the warrior archetype. I cover its modes, its shadow, and why—and this might surprise you—it’s one of the best archetypes we have. From the warrior, we can light the fires of focus, develop clean anger instead of unhealthy aggression, set boundaries instead of borders, and leverage our unique capabilities to bring about positive change inside and outside. At the end, I detail several actionable steps you can take to cultivate and reclaim the warrior. Let me know your takeaways! Contact me on Insta @mantalks or leave a rating and review!

You engage, I respond! A recent post about meeting your edge generated a ton of responses both publicly and in my DMs, so I wanted to elaborate. Whether you call it the masculine, the yang, or something else, there’s a part of us that always craves moving towards our edge: our mental, physical, or spiritual limits. Meeting it with conscious practices can help expand us, but suppressing or avoiding it pushes it into the shadow, which can lead you away from what you really want.So listen in to hear more about the edge, why it’s important, how I meet it, and what you can do to meet yours.

Today, we're going to be talking about some current events. So this little segment, it's called "Thinking Out Loud", and it's just going to be me thinking out loud about some of things that are happening right now. I've had a lot of people reaching out to me asking what do I think about what's happening in terms of the rioting and the feds picking people up out of Portland and wanting me to comment on police reform and a lot of other topics. I sat with this, and wanted to come at it not from the place of talking about any one issue specifically, but moreso looking at the umbrella--the larger picture--of what's actually happening that's leading to all of these systemic failures within North American culture.
