Episode 55: Toxic vs. Healthy Masculinity and the Need for Achievement w/ Chris Marhefka
“Giving your inspired energy to something will catapult it 100X what just this average, monotonous energy will do when you settle. And it usually takes patience to sit, wait, breathe, and relax your body so you’re fully prepared to go all in when (that opportunity) shows up.”
On this episode, I am joined by Chris Marhefka, CEO and facilitator of Training Camp for the Soul! Chris’s background involves starting multiple businesses where he lived a life conditional on achieving. Now in his late 30’s, he’s leading men in releasing trauma and developing healthy, masculine leaders.
We discuss unconscious belief patterns and developmental traumas, challenges that are often overlooked growing up in an upper middle class family, handling the guilt of “I should be happy but I’m not,” and losing your identity in personal development. Towards the end of the episode, Chris shares the differences between toxic masculinity and healthy masculinity as well as ways for people to express vulnerable emotions in a safe manner.
