What does it mean to be a man these days? As gender roles are being restructured and explored, the emerging field of men’s work offers a rich landscape of ways to explore a new, healthier expression of masculinity.

Our guest for this episode is Vern Petty, a somatic therapist and men’s work facilitator. He shares with us his personal journey to finding men’s work and how it has helped him heal his wounds and guide men to realize their greatest potential.

Our conversation is laced with vulnerable shares about dating, breakups, and how we’ve learned to work with the emotional spectrum within relationships. We tackle the question of what it means to be emotionally available, and how we can do the work to become more attuned both to our own needs and our partners’.

We also hear about Vern’s experience with conscious uncoupling, a process he recently underwent to honour his ex-partner and heal his heartbreak by sealing the ending of a partnership with a story of gratitude and growth.

Listen in to explore what men like Vern are gaining from men’s work and why it matters. We explore topics that include:

• What it means to show up in truth at the beginning, middle, and end of a relationship
• The need for men to find spaces to align and direct toward purpose
• What men and women can do to deepen hetero romantic relationships and platonic friendships
• Sexual energy cultivation (beyond simple semen retention)
• What emotional availability actually is

Anyone who loves men – or is a man – owes it to themselves to explore what is happening in the field of men’s work.
