My personal journey into exploring my father wounds brought me into contact with the unique talent that is Scott Grace, author of Mindful Masculinity: A Book for Men and the Women Who Love Them. 

Scott Grace is a much sought-after singer, speaker, workshop leader, life coach and stand-up comedian (who used to open for Robin Williams and Dana Carvey).  He rose to prominence opening for rock star authors and personal growth celebrities such as Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay, Ram Dass and Byron Katie. 

Scott’s book tackles overcoming the innate driving desire to live up to dad’s or one’s own expectations, the addiction to not feeling, transforming the inner critic, becoming aware of the fear of fear, transcending the compulsion to fix things for a romantic partner, grieving lost ideals and painful experiences, releasing the hold the ego has over heart, letting go of anger and rage self-or-other-inflicted, and much more.

Our 45-minute or so conversation covers many things including the nature of masculine love, how we over compensate, grief and shame in relationships and parenting offspring and ourselves.

He’s probably the most entertaining guest I have had yet on the podcast and our chat also includes a song written to and from his mother and a brilliant improvised poem.
