In today’s episode, we continue our series on unearthing and unraveling the myths that create toxic masculinity. I sit down with my friend and we talk about Harry Potter and JK Rowling, education and kids’ accessibility to learning, why women is sometimes spelled with an x, and a myriad of stories and experiences. We talk about trans visibility, patriarchy’s relationship to violence, and the way that insecurity fuels male violence.

Episode 17: Confronting and Healing our Masculinity (Feat. Amadon Dellerba)

Today, Deconstruct welcomes Amadon Dellerba of the Get Real or Die Trying Podcast for the first installment of a new Deconstruct series on unraveling and healing from Toxic Masculinity.

Fitz and Amadon waste no time, diving straight into the nature of recognizing past toxicities. They talk about the mental preparation necessary to challenge toxicity, and practice the steps with deep vulnerability.

One the light side of the shadow, they talk about what it is to find genuine role models, and discuss some of their own. The conversation is expansive and personal, weaving these key narratives between collective care, the teachings of Jesus, and much more.

If you're a man who has lost their way, or a woman or nonbinary person dealing with a toxic figure, this episode may very well be worth your while.
