In this episode of The Restorative Man Podcast by Restoration Project, Chris Bruno and Jesse French dive deep into the importance of healing the wounds men often carry, reflecting on Chris's recent experience leading a group of 20 men through the Sage experience in Scotland. They explore how society pushes men to "tough it out," but real courage lies in acknowledging pain and stepping into healing. Using the rugged landscape of Scotland as a metaphor for the inner landscape of men’s lives, they challenge the common idea that men shouldn't engage in emotional work. Chris and Jesse also discuss the global need for men to pursue intentional heart work and how this effort can transform both their lives and relationships.
