This isn’t about suppressing what you’re feeling; it’s about expanding your capacity to be with whatever life throws your way.

In this episode of Sex, Love & Everything in Between, Jacob O’Neill sits down with life & embodied leadership coach, impact-driven brand strategist, somatic practitioner, men's work facilitator and apprentice rite of passage guide, Jose Alejandro, for a candid conversation on navigating the complexities of modern manhood. They dive deep into what it means to show up fully in relationships and life, even when it feels overwhelming.

Jose opens up about the struggles men face when balancing the demands of relationships and personal growth, and how rites of passage can help cultivate resilience, emotional regulation, and a sense of purpose.

They also riff on:

•Jacob’s raw confession about the anxieties of becoming a father

•Why integrating emotions isn’t just about intellectual understanding, but somatic practice

•Jose’s transformative journey from corporate burnout to embodied leadership

•The dangers of bypassing embodied practices for intellectual solutions

•The power of boundaries as acts of love

•Finding clarity and power through rites of passage

•The importance of checking in with yourself and owning your emotional state

•Why “holding it all together” doesn’t mean doing it all

And so much more…
