Why Society is Creating Weak Men, and Angry Women, with Jaguar Heart

I sit down with Jaguar for a deep conversation about the growing crisis facing modern men. We unpack fatherlessness, rites of passage, emotional development, mother enmeshment, masculinity, relationships, and the cultural forces shaping male identity today. We also explore why so many men feel disconnected, directionless, and dependent on external validation - and what it actually takes to mature into grounded masculinity. This is a challenging, nuanced conversation about accountability, psychology, culture, and what modern men are truly starving for.
