    EP210: Modern Men Are DEAD Inside: Men Are Being DESTROYED By Modern Life - How To Reclaim Your Masculine Power

    Why do so many men feel like they’re dead inside? Modern life is crushing men, disconnecting them from their purpose, their power, and their bodies. In this hard-hitting episode, I sit down with embodiment expert Mark Walsh to explore how men have lost their way—and how they can reclaim their masculine energy, confidence, and sense of meaning.  We dive deep into the impact of modernity on men’s mental health, the numbing effects of disembodiment, and the simple but powerful practices that can bring men back to life. If you’ve ever felt lost, uninspired, or stuck in your head, this episode is a wake-up call you won’t want to miss. Mr Embodiment” (Mark Walsh) is the author of The Body in Coaching and Training: An introduction to embodied facilitation, and Embodied Meditation. He hosts The Embodiment Podcast (2 million+ downloads), and led The Embodiment Conference (1000 teachers, 500,000 delegates). Seeing a theme yet?   He founded the Embodied Facilitator Course, and has trained over 2000 embodiment coaches in over 40 other countries (some of which will even let him back in). He recently went out to Ukraine twice during the recent conflict and set up saneukraine.org - a charity now run solely by Ukrainian professional to provide trauma and embodiment training to trainers, therapists and coaching. He gained an honours in psychology (despite been an alcoholic at the time), and has taught widely in the corporate world where he pretended to be a grown up for years, including with blue-chip companies (e.g. Google, Unilever, Shell, Axa, L’Oreal) whom he charged wayyyy too much as they made him wear a suit. He has also upset... sorry, taught... many yogis, NGOs, police officers and several militaries. He has worked in war zones, and entertained over 50,000 children. He has headlined International Coach Federation events, taught at Moscow State University, lived with the circus in Ethiopia, taught celebrities and kissed a princess.    Mark is an aikido black belt, and also has 25 years of experience of other martial arts, with yoga, bodywork, improv comedy, conscious dance and meditation. Embodiment is his obsession, life’s work, and frankly at this point he couldn’t get a job doing anything else. He dances like your dad at a wedding and….. [text was unfinished]. Key topics include:  ⭐️ Тhe Loss of Meaning In Modern Society  ⭐️ How Materialism Affects Men-Women Roles Today ⭐️ Serving Fame, Materialism and Hedonism Doesn’t Serve Us Well ⭐️ Disconnection As A Global Phenomena  ⭐️ The Cognitive Aspect Of Being Embodied  ⭐️ Male Bodies and Female Bodies - Cultural and Historical Differences In Perceptions ⭐️ What Is ‘Corporate Subhumanity’ And Why Has It Become A Norm ⭐️ Male Strength - Extending The Definition ⭐️ What Different Embodiment Practices Can We Take Up ⭐️ Overpowering Screens And Weakening Minds Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Interested In Joining My Men’s Community?
