Redefining Masculinity Through Openness & Presence
03/31/25 • 109 min
In this deeply honest and heart-centered episode of Ask Your Guides: Men’s Edition, host Alejandro gathers with fellow mindful men Jake Kokot, Weston McWhorter, and Andrew Viselli for a raw conversation about what it truly means to be a man today. From shedding emotional armor to redefining strength, the panel explores myths around masculinity, the dance between discipline and devotion, and the power of vulnerability, presence, and breath.
Together, they reflect on their healing journeys, the masks they once wore, and how they came to discover that being open isn’t weakness...it’s the gateway to wholeness.
This is not just a conversation... it’s a space. A sacred one. Come as you are.
