Ep 566: For Men: Unlocking King Energy with Justin Nault, on Authentic Masculinity and Emotional Mastery, Helpful for Women, too. While this is more of a discussion for men, I really encourage women to listen, too, because this is the kind of conversation that can help everyone understand each other better. What does this have to do with sex? A lot! We must look at ourselves as a whole and starting with basic changes to see real improvement. Take it from Justin! Listen now! Redefining Masculinity: Join Ruan Willow as she dives deep into a transformative conversation with Justin Nault, the creator of King vs Prince, a groundbreaking program designed to help men evolve from ego-driven behaviors into authentic King energy. Justin, a leader in redefining modern masculinity, shares his insights on emotional mastery, radical self-acceptance, and the importance of authentic leadership. In this engaging episode, Ruan and Justin discuss the critical connection between physical health, sexual well being, and emotional intelligence. Justin emphasizes the need for men to address root causes of their issues rather than just treating symptoms, and he provides actionable advice on how to achieve true transformation through internal work. They explore the complexities of modern relationships, the impact of societal expectations on masculinity, and the necessity of open communication in partnerships. Justin's unique perspective on the balance of strength and vulnerability challenges the conventional notions of masculinity, encouraging listeners to embrace their authentic selves.
