## Resource

What does it really mean to be masculine in today’s world — and why is vulnerability still so difficult for so many men? On this episode of lovelustlaw, attorney Michele Locke and Jake Deptula sit down with Steven Goodwin, founder of Full Disclosure Conversations, for an honest and thought-provoking discussion about masculinity, emotional safety, relationships, and healing. After experiencing the devastating loss of his father in and the end of his 15-year marriage, Steven shares how pain became the catalyst for personal transformation and a mission to create authentic spaces where men can connect, heal, and have the conversations they were never taught to have. Together, they unpack the ways men are conditioned to suppress emotion, the complicated realities of vulnerability in modern relationships, and why both men and women struggle with authenticity and emotional safety. The conversation challenges traditional ideas of masculinity and chivalry, reframing them not as performances, but as identity traits rooted in accountability, humility, integrity, and responsibility. Michele, Jake, and Steven also explore why successful relationships require partnership over rigid gender roles, why love should feel like “100/100” instead of transactional effort, and how self-work, boundaries, and community are essential for lasting connection. **DISCLAIMER** The information shared in this podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.
