Episode Description
Just as women are finding empowerment and thriving in an era of increasing leadership by women, men are using the rise of the feminine to explore their own masculinity which for many has become out-dated and restrictive. Whether it's via coaching or men's groups, men are finding ways to understand and express themselves. Is this easier for younger generations or different cultures? This week's guests are Man Whisperer Kenny Mammarella D'Cruz reporting that men are no less frustrated at being able to find the right partner than women are. American in Paris, David Brower, reflects on how French culture brings a different masculinity to French men: and Nick Haines, founder of the Vitality Test, deconstructs his role as a father to three sons, preparing them for a new world of more open self-expression.
The Rise of the Feminine
Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Variety Channel
There are huge shifts happening globally that not only involve the rise of women but also the rise of feminine values in men and, in women, which are re-shaping our collective future.
We discover more and more women coming into their own, finding their unique purpose. In this surge for equality, some men may fear they will be displaced, but in reality, we’ll see how this is a movement that is more about a shared vision for a re-balancing of the planet. It’s not about women taking over but women standing alongside men in their rightful place.
The question for many male leaders is how to integrate this new female power in organizations and fully understand that the shifts happening in their businesses, and politics are an embracing of new feminine values that will not only help them to adapt but also to thrive. This is a space where we can explore and bring together the conversations about what is emerging around the world as we witness shifts in power.
