Why So Many Men Are Emotionally Lost w/ Harley Gonzalez

What does it actually mean to become a man?In this episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with Harley Gonzalez for a raw conversation about men’s mental health, relationships, sexuality, emotional intelligence and personal growth.We dive into the sexual shame many young men carry, the lack of meaningful initiation into puberty and adulthood, and what happens when boys are expected to figure out manhood entirely on their own. Harley and I also unpack the difference between falling in love and consciously choosing to love someone, the challenges of opening your heart after heartbreak, and why emotional intelligence is so important for healthy relationships.Harley opens up about rebuilding his relationship with his son and his journey of personal growth, while I share his own experience of meeting his partner Britt through a series of seemingly unlikely coincidences.The conversation goes deeper into masculine and feminine dynamics, hypergamy, manifestation, presence, emotional processing and what men can do to become more grounded, self-aware and emotionally capable.A conversation about what it means to grow up, open your heart, take responsibility and become the man you were meant to be.Thank you for listening and watching wherever in the world you are.. PRE ORDER YOUR COPY OF BREAKING FREE: A TEENS & YOUNG ADULTS GUIDE TO IDENTIFYING THEIR ADDICTIONS & OVERCOMING THEM RIGHT HERE: https://bit.ly/46cVR3uJOIN THE Stoic Rebellion Brotherhood: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3722365171377579Part One AUDIO:  https://open.spotify.com/episode/0J4MUtfDcXswWvewCOihUd?si=8b7a98287b6c46f8VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2hk023MIBI&t=1060sPart II AUDIO: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4PUMye0aWJZ2r7ysI25iQl?si=15388a016a1849f2VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02XYUpc-4v0Jump on BonCharge and grab yourself some protection  from wifi, 5G, blue/red light and so much more…At the Checkout Use Code “Nath22” to receive 15% offRight here: https://www.boncharge.com/?rfsn=7434501.689abcConect With Harley Gonzalez:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harlztalks/Connect With Me (Nathan Francis Coach/Mentor) Substack: https://substack.com/@nathanfrancisFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/OSS.Health.MindPersonal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nath.francis69Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nathanfrancis222?_t=8iKxXw8R2ee&_r=1Telegram: https://t.me/nathf94  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathanfrancis__/Email me anytime: nathanselfsabotage@gmail.comThe Breaking Free Podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1fHxmfbFZwyZPIcOrjw3Hf?si=q42PtUR4Qeu8SvUuWDMrpwApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/breaking-free-podcast/id1657951151Youtube: https://youtube.com/@nathanfrancis__?si=df69YA7zK-CUeG8-   🎙️ Thanks for tuning in to the Breaking Free Podcast — where we dive deep into men’s health, mindset, personal freedom, and the inner work it takes to live life on your terms.👊 Ready to break free from the patterns holding you back?Connect with me for 1:1 coaching, tools, and content designed to help you unlock your potential and lead with strength, purpose, and clarity.🔗 Follow and connect:Instagram: @nathanfrancis__ 💥 Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.
