Traver Boehm - Shifting Masculinity’s Paradigm - 203 The Grateful Show
-
- Self-Improvement
Traver Boehm knows men. How they think, what’s behind their behavior, and most importantly — their unique challenges in the modern landscape.
Traver is the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement, the fastest growing men’s movement in the world. He is the author of Today I Rise, and Man UNcivilized as well as a two time TEDx speaker, men’s coach and podcaster.
Drawing upon an eclectic background ranging from professional bodyguarding and Mixed Martial Arts to a Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver counsels men, women, and couples on how to better understand men’s mental health and relationship difficulties.
Although he’s not quite sure how to feel about the title, he has been dubbed, “The Man Whisperer” as he has the unique ability to speak to men in a way they can hear and understand.
In 2016 after losing a pregnancy, his marriage, and his business partnership all within weeks of each other, he created a radical year long social experiment to answer the questions, “Who am I and who am I as a man?”
Highlights of the year include:
Volunteering with the dying as a hospice worker
Meditating for 28 days straight in complete isolation and pitch-black darkness in a Guatemalan hut
Living in the frigid Utah wilderness for a month with only a knife, a water bottle, and a blanket
With a passion for people and a unique lens through which to view the human experience, Traver is a highly sought after teacher in the fields of consciousness, intimacy, and personal development.
When not teaching workshops or radically shifting the way men experience their masculinity, Traver can be found obsessing over a single word in front of his laptop, chasing surf around the globe, and being awful at yoga.
During our conversation we touch upon topics like:
How us as men love to go through hardship together
How the world’s gotten easier and easier and we now have to re-create the difficulty as men
How it's primal for men to want to test themselves against the world
Learning through pain and why it's vital that we don't avoid it when it comes into our lives.
