My guest today is Rick Belden, an artist, poet, and coach who works with men to solve difficult emotional, personal, and relational challenges. If you're a man who's feeling stuck in a life that's inauthentic, unfulfilling, or stagnant, Rick can help you get things moving again. His primary focus is on repatterning the relationships men have with themselves, as that relationship is the fundamental driver that determines the quality and outcomes of our decisions, behaviors, and lives. Rick has been through a lot in his own life and has come out the other side, with hope and a message of healing. I truly enjoyed my conversation with Rick and I hope you do as well.
In our conversation we discussed men’s work, the role of men in society, the mother-son relationship, the concept of “mother wounds” and how they can affect adult ties, narcissism, emotional manipulation, the importance of inner trust and the unmet needs of modern men.
