In this candid episode of the ReMasculation Podcast, I sit down with my friend Liv Wickedly — co-founder of Babe Philosophy — to have a real, raw, and sometimes uncomfortable conversation about the wounds between men and women… and how we begin to heal.

We talk about everything from feminism and misandry to embodied safety, the cost of emotional self-betrayal, and what it takes to build sacred union.

Liv doesn’t hold back. Neither do I.

This conversation will challenge your beliefs, open your heart, and maybe even piss you off a little. But if you’re here to evolve — as a man, a woman, a leader, a lover — you’re in the right place.

Here’s what we dive into:

Why do so many women feel unsafe in their bodies

The trap of building a personality around pain

What toxic femininity looks like

Why does vulnerability in men get punished

How to create emotional safety and sacred polarity in your relationship

If this lands for you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. This isn’t about sides — it’s about truth.

Let’s bring the medicine back to masculinity.
