Midlife Love Out Loud with Junie Moon: How to Spot a Conscious Man and Build Real Love

How to Spot a Conscious Man and Build Real Love

Are there really conscious men out there… or are you chasing a fantasy?

In this episode of Midlife Love Out Loud, Junie Moon talks with Boysen Hodgson, communications director for the Mankind Project USA, about what is actually happening inside men’s hearts, and what becomes possible when men step into real men’s work.

Boysen has nearly two decades of experience with men’s groups and is celebrating twenty years of marriage that he describes as “better than it has ever been.” Together, Junie and Boysen unpack how shame, old wounds, and cultural conditioning shape the way men show up in love, and how that can change.

You will learn:

• Why so many men carry deep shame, grief, and hidden burdens in silence
  
  
• What happens inside a powerful men’s circle when that armor finally cracks open
  
  
• How to recognize a man who takes responsibility for his emotions and actions
  
  
• The difference between a man who wants a mommy and a man who wants a partner
  
  
• How intimate relationships become a crucible for mutual growth when both people do the work
  
  
• How Boysen and his wife Kendra use shadow work and the ideas from Existential Kink to keep their long term relationship alive, playful, and honest
  
  

If you are a woman in midlife wondering where the emotionally available men are, or a man who knows there is more to you than you have been allowed to show, this conversation will give you insight, hope, and real next steps.

Boysen Hodgson is the Communications Director for the ManKind Project USA, a nonprofit organization hosting transformational programs and supporting men’s groups serving over 10,000 men every week. He’s the co-creator of the ManKind Podcast, a show that invites listeners to expand their perspectives on manhood, and he’s the author of “The New Macho,” a credo for emotionally mature masculinity. Boysen has nearly two decades experience facilitating men’s groups.
