All the Talk About Masculinity
We're Sidestepping Emotions It’s not about masculinity. It’s about emotions. For some time now, that’s what I’ve been trying to say. I’m reading a book by Marc Brackett, Ph.D., the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. I picked it up after hearing him discuss his work, and his life experience, on a podcast episode with Brené Brown (see below).

About us
Podcasts for People Who Want More from Life
The Path to Authenticity starts from the assertion that we wrest our true power from our individuality.
Real conversations with real people.
We talk to various types of writers and artists as well as therapists, coaches, teachers, entrepreneurs, and professionals of all kinds. Our guests possess one common trait.
They’re people who know who they are.
We talk about what makes them who they are, how they became who they are, and how we might become truer expressions of who we are.
This artwork was created by Heather Sundquist Hall
to commemorate the 100th episode of The Path to Authenticity.
We’ve created a society where people would rather experience practically anything besides the way it feels to be who they are.
The Path to Authenticity and its related content are produced on the ancestral lands of the Myaamia people, to whom we offer our respect.
