    11 - Connor Beaton: Men’s Work, Rejection, and Real Intimacy

    In this episode of The Next Man Up, host Coral Osborne sits down with Connor Beaton, founder of ManTalks, for a raw and wide-ranging conversation about men’s work, shame, vulnerability, relationships, sex, purpose, and the hidden emotional lives many men are carrying. Connor shares how hitting rock bottom, lying, infidelity, addiction-adjacent patterns, and a life of moral incongruence led him into deep therapeutic and Jungian work that eventually became the foundation for helping men build more honest, grounded lives. Together, they explore why confession is often the first step toward real change, why men may resist vulnerability, how shame shapes desire and intimacy, the Madonna/Whore complex, the mother wound, attachment trauma, initiation, male loneliness, rejection, commitment, and what women often misunderstand about men. What unfolds is part men’s work masterclass, part relationship autopsy, and part honest reckoning with the stories men inherit, the truths they hide, and the work required to become more whole.
