#22 Reclaiming Power from Coloniser, Religion and Society
We have been lead to believe that as an individual we can gain personal power but it is becoming clear that we as men are intimately linked to much greater forces from our past and society that directly impact our sense of personal power.
In this podacst i go into the reasons why even though men have done so much personal work they are still feeling disempowered, stuck and like they cannot move forward in life. I look at the 4 main reasons around my personal journe yof empowerment you may not be aware of:
The influence of religion on mens empowerment
Non-seperation from mother
Colonial trauma
Financial/energetic authority

#20 Become a more mature man by regulating your inner child
As men we cannot step into full maturity until we develop deep relationship with our inner child. He must feel safe and protected for us to be able to step into full maturity, otherwise we will experience reactivity, shutdown and real difficulty in romantic relationships.
In this solo podcast I discuss:
3 ways you can help regulate this inner child
How tending to the inner child becomes the foundation of building a lives that we want
How its not only important to love our inner child but also that he feels safe.
Want to step more into your maturity as a man?

We Cover:
- What are the origin stories of this divide between men & women?
- What are the hurts, fears and projections men and women have about eachother?

#18 Spirit & Soul - Navigating both realms of life
Many men end up trapped the spirit realms, avoiding emotions and rationalizing our way through life because many spiritual teachings support this.
At some point we realize we are disconnected from life and the only way through is to descend into soul and the feminine realms of life, emotions and body.
In this podcast I go into:
- How our unprocessed childhood traumas lead us to disconnect, or escape to spirit realms
- The impact of not being connected to the body and emotions
- The cultural imprint on men of suppressing feelings and interacting with the world from a rational perspective
- How to embrace both the sprit and soul realms for a balanced life.

Many men have a crisis of identity what is it to be a man? How am I supposed to be? What is my role in relationship? And many other questions.
This podcast is made to address this subject as an Irish man, born of this land who has spent many years struggling with his identity of being an Irishman. We traverse many subjects and ultimately I believe we start to heal and weave what it is to be a healthy man on this land both culturally and individually.
Niall works as a Mens Work facilitator in Ireland addressing such work as Mens Shadow, Embodiment, Initiation and Sexuality.
