Sensitivity and Masculinity
I recently sat down for a deep conversation on the Sensitive Change Makers podcast, and we didn't hold back.
Hey Beautiful Human,
For years, I believed my sensitivity was a problem that needed to be fixed.
Too emotional. Too intense. Too much.
But what I discovered changed everything: my sensitivity was never a flaw. It was an early warning system that helped me survive.
I recently sat down for a deep conversation on the Sensitive Change Makers podcast, and we didn’t hold back.
Here’s what we explored:
How my sensitivity became a survival tool in a dangerous childhood – not a weakness
The moment of clarity that pulled me from addiction into purpose and service
Why intuition became my greatest ally (and the small steps I took to strengthen it)
My “Committee of 12” approach to deep processing and decision-making
How creativity became my way of channeling sensitivity into healing and meaning
Why I intentionally built my life in rural North Dakota for isolation and clarity
My mission to give sensitive men a voice through Still Waters Podcast and Hearts of Thunder magazine.
This isn’t just a conversation about being highly sensitive.
It’s about reclaiming the parts of ourselves we were told to hide – and letting them become the very things that set us free.
If you’ve ever felt “too much” or “not enough,” this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

I’d love to hear what resonates with you after you listen. Comment below and let me know – I read every message.
With gratitude and truth,

P.S. – If you know a sensitive man who needs to hear this, please share it with him. We’re building a movement of men who understand that sensitivity is strength, not shame.
