190: The New Masculine For Gay Men – Travis Stock
What does it mean to be masculine? Who defines it? What does it matter? These are all the big questions we're asking on 40 Plus: Gay Man, Gay Talk Podcast today with fellow Life Coach Travis Stock. He brings his own unique insights into the world of masculinity into play to make you go, "Hmmm? What does masculinity really mean?" About Travis Travis helps you find what creates balance in your life by first seeking acceptance of what is. He helps you connect to your truth in the moment, so that it becomes clearer how to be in alignment with your personal, professional, and relationship goals. He doesn't claim to know all the answers, nor do he feel fit to give you advice for your life. But that is directly in line with his coaching philosophy: You actually have all the answers! Don't trust that? Good, he likes the challenge of connecting you to your own wisdom! One of his favorite areas to explore is the balance between masculine and feminine energies in each of us, regardless of gender, and he believes in the importance of nurturing a relationship with both types of energy to create a sense of wholeness. Some other areas he is fascinated by include emotions, the LGBT community, transformation of trauma and shame, interpersonal relationships, the divine masculine, and living open-heartedly.
