#74 | Mature Masculinity vs. Toxic Masculinity - Andy Brown

Harley Seelbinder Podcast

In this episode, I talk with Andy Brown, a professional counselor and owner of Desert Streams Christian Counseling. We dive into what it means to be a mature man and also what it means to be an immature, or dare I say toxic, man. We use Jungian archetypes to help understand what types of men we should strive to be like. We also talk about the importance of finding mentors. I hope you enjoy this one.
