How to Raise Strong, Unshakable Boys in Today's Culture, with Dr. Shefali Tsabary

I sit down with Dr. Shefali to tackle the complex realities of raising boys in a culture that often sends them conflicting messages about masculinity. We dive into why young men are being drawn to the manosphere, the crucial role of physical movement in a boy's emotional regulation, and how we as parents can help them build genuine confidence through struggle.

If you want to understand how to raise conscious, integrated sons without falling into the traps of smothering or toxic stoicism, this conversation is a must-listen.
