"Don't be a baby." This is the first message little boys receive before they're old enough to question it.
It sounds harmless. But it actually teaches that your needs are a problem, your body is a problem, and depending on anyone for anything is something to be ashamed of.
Sound familiar? Let's talk about it.

Lashing out isn't courage. It isn't alpha. It's just unprocessed fear looking for somewhere to land. Get curious. Take a breath. That's the work.
Don't be gay. This is the third message little boys receive before they're old enough to question it.
The first (Don't be a baby) says your body and your needs are a problem. The second (Don't be a girl) says anything perceived as feminine, like emotions, softness, and sensitivity, is off limits. The third (Don't be gay) takes it even further.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Let's talk about them in the comments.
A love letter to my dad. In ink. Permanent felt scary until I remembered this body isn't forever anyway. So why not? ⛺️

Don't be a girl. This is the second message little boys receive before they're old enough to question it. It's not just a message about boys. But it's also a message about girls, that girls are different in a way that makes them less and that being like a girl is one of the worst thing a boy could be.
Both sides get conditioned at the same time. Boys learn to cut off. Girls learn to shrink. And it shapes everything that comes after.
This one affects everyone. What's your experience? Let's talk in the comments.
Debating whether it was 1,000 or 62 million isn't the conversation we need to be having.
The conversation is this: It is all men until most men stop some men. Period.

In case you missed it, here's a look at what we explored in April's Kind Lab.
We dove into two pathways that live in productive tension with each other: Clarity and Playfulness.
Join us next week for our May Kind Lab as we explore the pathway of Vulnerability.

I've been working and waiting for nearly two years. And it finally came through.
The Kind Point® is officially a registered trademark!
That little ® took a long process, a longer wait, and more patience than I knew I had. But it's done. And it's mine. 💟
I've been building this for a long time. A framework, a community, a coaching practice that takes kindness seriously. This feels like a milestone worth sitting with.
Thank you to my amazing friend and colleague, Nina Simonds, for helping me to figure out what I mean about kindness, and for creating the Kindness Labs with me. And thank you to everyone who's shown up alongside me.
💜

"Don't be a baby." Sounds harmless, right?
But here's what it actually teaches little boys: that needing help is wrong. That dependence is shameful. That you should be independent long before you're capable of it.
Human babies have the longest period of helplessness of any species. We are literally wired to need each other. And we shame boys for it from the very beginning.
Sound familiar? Let's talk about it in the comments.
What if the most powerful thing you could do for your client is simply let their experience matter to you? That's vulnerability in coaching.
Join us as we explore this pathway in our next Kind Lab.
