Episode 5 - Interview with Anthony Lungabardi

In this episode you will hear an amazing and inspirational interview with Anthony Lungabardi, who was adopted when he was two years old. He was found in a wood shed, having been abandoned by his mother. Later is life Anthony became homeless for 6 years as a teenager, when his adopted father became physically and verbally abusive towards him. These events can be traumatic for anyone... The fact that this all happened in Anchorage, Alaska – one of the coldest places to live in with temperatures well below freezing for months – makes Anthony’s story of survival so inspirational. He shares some unforgettable moments of how he managed to turn his life around, healing the suffering he experienced.

Through his recovery process he has managed to come to terms with the toxic masculinity that dominated his relationship with his father. Toxic masculinity is using status to gain power over others, in relationships, in career and it was a dysfunctional part of Tony’s story. He now helps others through his work with the Mankind Project – an organisation in 35 countries that runs camps and retreats, where he teaches men that it’s okay to not be okay. You will also hear our discussion about religion and systemic structures of culture, education and social upbringing.

Finally, we also explore the topic of emotional homelessness and how Tony reconciles his own misgivings as a father and how he has a sense of not belonging. You are sure to enjoy this conversation – sensational stories shared to spread the knowledge and share the healing….

Enjoy.
