Zac Phillips is a young men's facilitator, musician, and storyteller who brings a unique perspective to personal development and masculinity. His work focuses on creative action, youth mentorship, and helping people navigate authentic expression of both their masculine and feminine aspects.
In this episode we explore:
- Creative action as healing - How creative expression and taking action can be just as confronting and effective as traditional therapy, and why life itself is fundamentally a creative spiritual process
- Integrating masculine and feminine energies - Why men become more authentically masculine by also embracing their feminine aspects, and how to find balance beyond rigid polarity thinking
- Youth mentorship principles - The power of listening, asking questions, and affirming rather than fixing, rescuing, or giving unsolicited advice when working with young people
- Moving from self-improvement to self-acceptance - Why building a foundation of self-acceptance is essential before layering on improvement efforts, and how to break free from the "more, more, more" addiction
