#368 Boys to Men: The Importance of Masculinity

#368 Boys to Men: The Importance of Masculinity

Culture and society may have erred when they decided we don't need strong men and fathers. Ashley Mariani, MSW joins Blyss and Dr. Stu to discuss the role of the male partner in pregnancy and equipping them with the skills to navigate medical settings confidently in support of their partner. Male participation in the birth process can lead to deeper trust, intimacy and respect in the couple and a stronger family bond.

About Ashley Mariani:

Ashley Mariani, also known as The Rogue Therapist, is a registered social worker and the visionary behind Mind Online, a unique online therapy clinic based in Ontario, Canada, that embraces a holistic, non-clinical approach. Specializing in navigating the emotional complexities of sex, intimacy, childbirth, and the evolving relationship that follows, Ashley provides vital support to couples during these pivotal life stages. As a dedicated breathwork facilitator and an advocate against obstetric violence, she promotes client autonomy and encourages a critical examination of conventional systems.

Holding an undergraduate degree in Sexuality, Marriage, and Family, and a Master’s in Social Work, Ashley has also developed a groundbreaking certification course for new dads. This program empowers them to become lead advocates in the birthing process, equipping them with the skills to navigate medical settings confidently, address personal insecurities, and ensure a safe and respectful experience for their partners. This course is essential for any expectant father committed to actively supporting his partner through one of life’s most transformative experiences.
