We Need Men To Be Men Again - LaRocque Life Podcast Ep 44

Nov 23, 2022

We were hard on women last week, and this week we’ve giving it to the men (just kidding - sorta!)

We’re talking about what it means to be a man (this might surprise you), how to cultivate confident masculinity, and how that confidence can completely shift your relationship with yourself and your partner.

We’re also diving into what we see often from men that we work with, how men can learn to take accountability for their shit, and why we need to stop viewing vulnerability as a weakness.

Life is too short, so let’s stop taking it for granted and start fucking living!
