In this special episode, we sit down with singer-songwriter, dancer, actress, and model FKA twigs to explore her journey of healing, resilience, and reclaiming self-worth. In 2020, twigs courageously went public with allegations of domestic violence against her ex-partner Shia LaBeouf. As her legal battle approaches, she reflects on her decision to seek justice and shares her thoughts on the upcoming trial, emphasizing the importance of holding men accountable, no matter their status or success.  

Twigs offers profound insights into her experience as a survivor, shedding light on how emotional manipulation can consume one’s entire psyche and leave lasting effects on both mind and body. She discusses the challenges of leaving an abusive relationship and the lifelong process of rebuilding trust and reclaiming every dimension of one's identity. 

Released during the final week of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this conversation serves as a powerful call for empathy, accountability, and cultural change. Whether you’re looking for inspiration or practical tools to navigate difficult relationships and your own healing journey, twigs’ voice will resonate deeply—reminding us that recovery is not linear, but with time and self-compassion, it is possible.

Liz and Jamey highlight how men are actively dismantling long-standing barriers to equality. They stress the importance for men, the traditional power holders, to actively support women in leadership roles, especially Black women and other historically marginalized people. 

Men will make great impact when they recognize women’s contributions and help to break down barriers that have long kept them from positions of power. By standing with them and championing their leadership, men can help shape a future where everyone thrives.

This episode encourages all of us, particularly men, to engage in meaningful conversations, challenge the status quo, and work together to build a society that values and uplifts everyone. It is a collective movement toward a more just and inclusive world, where men and women unite in a societal awakening that drives people to build something new together.

QUOTES:

"The best room is not a room full of women. It's a room full of everybody." – Liz (32:57)

"We look for all reasons to keep people down, to oppress, and to not let women (I don't even like saying the word 'let' like it's mine to even give), but to not champion women being in their full glory." – Jamey (20:20)

"This is a huge moment for women, for women of color being our leaders and us following them and supporting them." – Liz (5:26)

“I need my son and my daughter, other sons and daughters to learn how to see with their own eyes, hear with their own ears, to make an assessment that's borne out of truth, and not just false imitation. Just because my parents thought it, just because someone else said it. It's like really dive in yourself. And I feel like men…the more that we take a good look at ourselves, look at who's in front of us, look at the capacity of people, look at the beauty of people, look at some of the faults…do it with our own eyes and not get caught up in the mob, we become better, and better, and better.” - Jamey (33:02)

“it's not men versus women. A lot of people will try and convince you that that's the way that it is. If you give a lot to women, that means you're taking away from men...The other option is men plus women equals even infinity, that when we work together, and we collaborate, and we love each other, and we unite, and we connect, then the world is our oyster. Then we all get more freedom. We all get more possibility. We all get more liberty, and all of the beautiful things that we want in life. And it's a lot more fun...when we get along.” - Liz (31:59)

“We're seeing men…[that] are the fruit of all the labor that you have been doing, of so many people who are saying, "Don't ignore us. We have incredible things to say. Get your foot off my neck." And that's what makes me feel proud when I see men of this nature raising money for something 10 years ago would've not. 100 years ago, they would've been in jail for raising money for a Black campaign, or shot and killed.” - Jamey (10:01)

"You don’t just wake up one day to get shot by your husband. There are things that you go through in your life that bring you to that." - Kimya

"We have to produce more media where people can see examples of positive manhood because we take it for granted that everyone sees this." - Dr. Tartt

"To be man enough means to be your authentic self, not being defined by what other people say you should be or represent as a man, but what does being a man feel like to you?" - Kimya

"The most healing came from me sharing my story with other people, hearing women and men come and say, ‘Thank you for sharing that,’ and then they were able to share their stories of abuse, surviving, and men who had a part." - Kimya

"Being man enough means being bigger than your pride and admitting that you need help." - Dr. Tartt

"The emotional abuse usually sets the groundwork for the physical abuse to then feel normal or even deserved." - Liz

From redefining traditional gender roles to maintaining healthy relationships with exes, this episode offers relatable insights and practical advice. 

Whether you're seeking self-compassion or reflecting on life's journey, Jamey and Liz provide an engaging discussion on modern masculinity and building fulfilling, balanced lives.

TIMECODES:

(02:58) Topic Begins: Men Under 30 Ask, Jamey (Man Over 30) Answers

(04:57) @lookforrev: “What skills have you learned around self-compassion?”

(09:22) @AustinCA03: "Dads who had kids relatively early, how do you maintain balance in your life while also providing for your child and spouse?"

(13:58) Theo: "What are the interpersonal or relationship skills you wish you could have learned earlier and how would you have gone about learning them?"

(20:37) James: How are expectations of what it means to be a provider changing when we are all struggling in this economy?

(25:25) Riley: "What are the positives of getting older?"

(31:06) "What can I do to help overcome the voice that's telling me to keep being miserable?"

(35:49) Jamey asks Liz: "At what point does it become easier?"

(39:31) "Who has been able to maintain strong and healthy relationship with their exes?"

QUOTES:

"I think you fall in love much more easily when you accept the person that you are trying to be in love with." - Jamey

“The voice inside my head that I thought was me for 30 plus years is actually a liar. And in the moments where I feel like that voice is really loud, that's a signal to me that I need to behave differently. Because I think it's hard to change the voice, but if you are treating yourself with compassion and you're treating yourself kindly, then that voice will become less high-pitched.” - Liz

“In this day and age where more and more women are being seen and valued for their contributions, as they should, have opportunities more than maybe at one time were afforded to them, I think families have to consult and discuss what providing means. It doesn't just mean financially. Does dad provide for the family emotionally, taking care of the home, watching out for the children, taking them to baseball practice or laundry and dishes?” - Jamey

"I feel like friendships, relationships are built in the nothingness, in the mundane stuff, and just the normal stuff." - Jamey

"I'm gonna look back at this time and think I was so young. I'm not gonna think about all the insecurities that I have right now about how aging is showing up in my body." - Liz

“How we can be better in the world, how we can be better to our parents, our children, our friends, our workmates? When you are fully accountable, then you can have real forgiveness for yourself.” - Jamey

“If you can see the end in the beginning, you might think that very thing that you were distressed about, knowing that that's what's going to then get you to the next stage. So I think part of the thing to make life easier is embrace where you are in this day.” - Jamey

(13:35) Quick to condemn when we see it, but no serious consequences (Trump, Cosby, R. Kelly, Weinstein)

QUOTES:

"How do we hold each other accountable as men when we see other men do things of this nature?" - Jamey Heath

"We have to train our young boys to see women, to see themselves as gentle creatures and not violent creatures." - Jamey Heath

"When a woman is treated like an animal, we have to address it. We have to stop it." - Jamey Heath

"We reward men who are extremely uncaring and who get to where they're at by hurting people." - Liz Plank

"I went to a Trump rally for women and I asked, ‘What would you say to 7 out of 10 women have an unfavorable view of Donald Trump?’ And one woman's answer really stuck with me: "I think 7 out of 10 women have an unfavorable view of a lot of men. So I'm still going to vote for him." This idea that the bar is so low for what we expect from men in our society, that even women will want to put this person in power even though he is a violent person towards women.” - Liz Plank

"It's tricky because you have someone who's in a position of power who's paying people's bills. It's your job, it's your livelihood…We should say something, but I've got a family to uphold." - Jamey Heath

Learn from Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Ashley Judd as she shares how her experiences being exploited as a child have taught her that “it is [her] birthright to heal.” She is joined by Catherine Chen, CEO of Polaris, the organization working to end sex and labor trafficking, for which Ashley is the spokesperson and activist. This is a solution-forward dialogue that helps to better understand the causes, systemic factors, and opportunities to improve this large issue, which is too often invisible.

This is a personal, riveting and inspiring conversation that informs and provides hope, despite the heavy topics. We all have a responsibility to open our eyes to how we might be unknowingly upholding or allowing vulnerable people to become victims of trafficking. If you see yourself in any of the situations that we discussed today, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text BeFree (233733).

Mark Bryan is a cis, straight-identifying, traditionally masculine man who works as a robotic engineer and football coach…and also loves wearing skirts and heels. He has unintentionally started challenging traditional gender norms by proudly incorporating so-called “Women's clothes” into his wardrobe, rejecting the idea that it says anything about one’s sexual orientation or that clothes should be gendered.

Mark recounts the pivotal college moment when he first experimented with high heels and, after a 40-year hiatus, rediscovered the empowering sensation of integrating them into his daily style. The conversation delves into the assumptions people make about Mark's sexual orientation and explores the process of communicating his style shift to both family and colleagues. He navigates the intricate paradox of advocating for clothing being just clothes and needing to be free from gender associations, while acknowledging the power they possess in helping individuals feel authentically aligned with their true selves.

This dialogue is a powerful reminder that growth often comes from accountability and challenging discussions. Lily and Elisa have an important conversation with Mark about his relationship with the LGBTQIA+ community, addressing past mistakes. Through it, Mark learns in real-time how he can become a better ally, embracing his shared mission with the queer community in fostering a safe space for self-expression.

(09:05) What his family thinks of his style 

(11:42) Addressing the controversy around past comments about the LGBTQIA+ community

(19:50) How powerful owning his own style can be for him and others

(24:56) Feeling vulnerable and crying 

(29:00) What does it mean to be ‘Man Enough’

MARK QUOTATIONS:

"We should have more concerns in this world other than what people are wearing. Me wearing skirts should be the least of your worries. We should be worried about racism. We should be worried about wars. The world's not going to end because Mark Bryan is wearing a skirt in high heels."

[Regarding missteps and past comments that caused harm]: "I just kind of looked at it as something to be saddened that it happened and then look forward to seeing how to correct it and make myself a better person and use it as a learning experience. It's a pretty beautiful way to look at it. It's the only way to look at life. So if it's something that disappoints you or saddens you...to try to find something positive about it. "

"I get a lot of comments on my Instagram, "Hey, be a man, you know, wear pants." I said, "I am a man, but I'm just wearing a skirt.""

Schuyler Bailar, influential athlete, author, educator, and vocal LGBTQ+ advocate, shares his transformative journey. As the first publicly documented NCAA D1 transgender man to compete as a man in any sport, Schuyler's story is at the forefront of the debate on trans athletes in college sports.

Assigned female at birth, Schuyler opens up about the internal struggle he faced in accepting his own boyhood, initially associating masculinity with harmful behaviors​​. He offers candid insight into the performance of masculinity, highlighting how many boys and men seek validation solely within the male gaze, rooted in a desperate need for belonging.

A gifted swimmer, Schuyler's passion and talent have been constant through his journey of self-discovery. He provides an intimate look at locker room dynamics, offering a unique perspective on male bonding rituals and the quest for peer validation.

His decision to join Harvard’s men's swim team, after being initially recruited for the women's team, was more than a sports headline. This choice was the first statement of his personal truth, and also marked a significant moment in sports history, challenging norms and sparking discussions on inclusivity in athletics. 

Schuyler's story is a testament to the strength of character and authenticity, demonstrating how embracing one’s true identity can be a powerful tool for challenging and redefining societal norms.

SCHUYLER QUOTATIONS:

“My takeaway is that if I can call somebody in…if I can get a moment where I can actually talk to somebody and connect about an experience, there's actually real change to be had."

“In the locker room, I'd see somebody tell a joke and immediately scan the room to see who else is going to respond and to give them validation...Those dynamics were so striking to me because I hadn't interacted with them in the same way before, and I hadn't been expected to participate in them either...I think that was the most terrifying moment, when I realized I had a desire to engage in the behaviors, because I had spent so long thinking all these things were horrible…Do I engage so that I can belong or stand by my values and risk belonging?”

(1:01:53) Being Man Enough

AARON STARK QUOTATIONS:

"He's never once said that I was wrong or that I was broken. He just said that I was a good kid in a shit world."

"There's no difference in the kid in Pakistan who told me that he couldn't talk about his abuse because his bullies in his village would kill him...It's not different with the model who's throwing up in her cup for her photo shoot and me when I was about to shoot up a school. It's all just expressions of I'm not good enough inside myself, and I think I need to burn myself apart to fit life."

"Treat that kid in the dark that tells himself that he hates himself constantly and tells himself that everything in his life is bad and he's the fault of it. Tell him that he's wrong because everybody else is telling him that he's right. And to me, that's a simple equation. "

"Being man enough is being comfortable in yourself and realizing that when you woke up today, you were good enough. And tomorrow you're going to be good enough too. And it's okay to fail, and it's okay to cry, and it's okay to be vulnerable, and it's okay to let someone know that you love them. And it's okay to let someone know that you're hurt, and it's okay to reach out for help."

Discover the power and purpose of men's groups (and where to find them), gatherings of men fueled by accountability and real friendships that transcend superficial bonds like sports and booze.

With empathy that is far too rare these days, John speaks directly to men who feel displaced, isolated and forgotten in this dynamic time of change in our world. John's message offers clarity and inspiration for men navigating challenging times.

He also discusses the secret to handling the grief of losing his daughter (the inspiration for Justin's film, Five Feet Apart) with grace and healing, made possible largely because of the support he found in his own men's group.

Whether you identify as a man, woman, trans or nonbinary, this conversation will probably make you want to learn with John, and will have you cheering for him to accomplish his ambitious goal of creating 10,000 men's groups around the world.

When he's not gracing the screen, Travis Van Winkle devotes much of his time to his role as a Big Brother in the Big Brother Big Sister mentorship program. He opens up about his transformative experience as a mentor to his "little brother," Lyrik, and the revelation that he's more ready than ever for fatherhood. Travis shares his refreshed perspective on dating and marriage, opting for authentic human connections over dating apps while also acknowledging that the gift of marriage may not be in his immediate future.

Later in the episode, Travis lays out his “curriculum for life” made up of the different challenges, learnings and lessons he’s gained along the way. And Justin and Jamey reflect on Travis as a close friend, sharing heartwarming moments from their 20+ years of friendship, including a particularly vulnerable incident that threatened to tear them apart early on.

Justin, who famously "wrote the book on masculinity," opens up about what he's been up to during his hiatus, a recent mistake that made him run to re-read his own book, and why he feels like he's in a constant state of evolution. His vulnerability sets the stage for a honest discussion about the unending journey of self-discovery and 'doing the work.'

As the episode unfolds, our hosts share their own personal stories of growth, from insecurity at work and Liz's 'imposter syndrome' to Jamey's constant evolution as a father and how he's learning to better deal with conflict in his home. It's a candid, and relatable exploration of self transformation that will leave you feeling inspired and energized to embrace your own imperfect path of development.

Join us as we delve deep into the heart of what it means to be human in today's world, and the bumps we make along the way.

About Jordan Walker Ross

Jordan is an actor (THE CHOSEN), screenwriter and host of the podcast “What’s Your Limp?” Jordan has Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis and by the age of 7, he had already undergone half a dozen major surgeries, including a full spinal fusion, and had several near death experiences. He discovered his love for acting at the age of 6 and spent the vast majority of his career being told no and having casting directors, agents, directors, etc. telling him to “lose the limp”. However, it was that very limp - the things Jordan was most insecure about - that led him to his most fulfilling and successful role yet - playing Little James on The Chosen. Now, Jordan is determined to use his platform as an actor and his podcast, What’s Your Limp?, to help others learn to love their own “limps” and to use them to their advantage, rather than perceiving them as flaws or weaknesses.

Man Enough is proud to introduce Rubirosa, a podcast by Brown Enough host and Man Enough guest host, Christopher Rivas, in partnership with Stitcher. 

Rubirosa is a documentary podcast produced by Stitcher and hosted by Christopher Rivas (Call Me Kat) in which Rivas explores the life of Porfirio Rubirosa, the man who inspired the character of James Bond. Besides being a Dominican diplomat, Porfirio was an international polo champion, a race-car driver, and a pilot. He was a renowned casanova, who was married five times to women including Barbara Hutton and Doris Duke. He spoke five languages and twice became the wealthiest man in the world.

Rivas, a Dominican-American actor, author, and storyteller, not only offers a portrait of Porfirio’s life but also investigates the whitewashing of Hollywood and considers how his childhood may have been different had more of his favorite movie heroes looked like him. The character and life of Rubirosa reveal so much about the dichotomy of masculinity across cultures and generations while Christopher Rivas and expert guests work to unravel the mysteries of a man that was so infatuating to the men and women of his time. We’re sure you’ll enjoy this episode as much as we did!

Ex-professional dancer, mother and postpartum mentor Natasha is candid about having children and how that has affected her marriage. When she first began preparing for her pregnancy, she believed she had it all figured out. Soon after childbirth, she realized that movies and stories don’t prepare mothers for the realities. When consistent pain and discomfort affected her life and her ability to be intimate with Jamey, their partnership and his unconditional support became more important than ever.

01:06:10 What Does It Mean To Be Man Enough?  

Quotes:

“I spent a lot of time getting to know my ego” - Nick Viall 

"Someone who doesn't want to be with us is not our person...We should be with people who want to prioritize us."

"I've definitely felt emasculated...We all have to have that space to be able to admit when we don't feel enough. We are enough but sometimes we quite literally don't feel that... I think it takes a lot of guts for a man to admit that."

"I feel that you are doing the work in ways that I love hearing that men are doing...I hear a lot of accountability and ownership, emotional willingness to have conversations. So I think you're exemplifying honestly some of the ways that men can learn from. I'm glad you're doing the work you're doing." - Jamey Heath

About Nick Viall: 

Nick starred in the 21st season of ABC’s The Bachelor, and now hosts the People’s Choice nominated podcast, The Viall Files which explores dating in the modern age. Since the show’s inception in 2019, Nick’s no-BS, unfiltered advice on dating & relationships has amassed over 100 million downloads and a spot in AP’s Top 10 Podcasts. 

Read Don’t Text Your Ex Happy Birthday 

Following the success of The Viall Files, Nick released his first book, Don't Text Your Ex Happy Birthday: And Other Advice on Love, Sex, and Dating, in October 2022. The dating advice book features snippets from his own personal dating experience while guiding readers through the complicated world of "situationships," identifying red flags, and avoiding toxic relationships. The book is an honest, humorous, all-encompassing dating guide for a new generation.

About Major Tom Schueman: 

During his 15 years in military service so far, Major Tom Schueman served as a platoon commander in Afghanistan for 16 months. Tom was awarded a Purple Heart after he and others were ambushed in a field on Nov. 9, 2010. He then went on to get his masters in English Literature at Georgetown University, and currently teaches English literature at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where he remains on active duty. Tom met Zainullah "Zak" Zaki, an Afghan translator who was embedded with the platoon he commanded in Afghanistan. Schueman and Zak quickly became “family.”

Read _Always Faithful_

Major Tom and Zak co-wrote a book titled _Always Faithful_, telling the full story of the divergent paths that led them to work together in Afghanistan, the dangerous road they walked together in service to America, and how their commitment to each other ended up saving both their lives, literally. 

Major Tom Quotes:

“Male friendships…take commitment and consistency. We often think we’re too busy. No relationship will flourish unless it’s watered and fed.”

“What I view as some of the positive masculine traits are self-composure, equanimity...I think one of the most desirable traits of a man is someone who is self-composed.”

“I don’t view [traits] as binary or mutually exclusive…I’m not saying that it’s not feminine or women can’t do those things...When I talk about my hero, my mother, she exhibited many of these - what we would characterize as masculine traits - and did it exceedingly well.”

Quotes:

“Feminism is about choice.” - Caylee Cresta

“Sometimes the familiar is actually not safe. “ - Caylee Cresta

“My father’s sense of obligation was greater than his sense of self preservation.” - Caylee Cresta

“We fall in love with a man’s potential, not who he is.” - Caylee Cresta

“For women, intimacy doesn’t start when you take your clothes off, it started that morning.” - Caylee Cresta

“Men can recognize that women tend to tie emotions into sex yet you don’t understand why your wife doesn’t want to have sex with you when you aren’t providing her with any emotional support.” - Caylee Cresta

“Femininity is a quality…there’s nothing wrong with a woman embracing her femininity. .. at the same time, a woman should not be looked down upon for having the same ambitions as a man has been able to have.” - Justin Baldoni

About Caylee Cresta

Caylee Cresta is a content creator and tik tok star with over 2M followers famously known for her comeback series where she reacts to toxic opinions and videos from men (usually regarding women) through stern advice and education. Caylee created her channel while working as a public construction project manager where her male employees would share the pains of marriage and at the same time complain about the lack of sex in their relationships. She started to wonder “what do men want from women?” and thus the channel was born. Her aim is to bridge the communication gap between men and women by explaining viewpoints that many women are hesitant to express themselves.

Read Brown Enough 

Brown Enough, part memoir and part social commentary, emerges, asking readers to proudly put their bodies, their identities, into the conversations of race. Brown Enough is a roller coaster of finding one's true self while simultaneously having a racial awakening amidst the struggle to be "perfectly" Latinx, woke, and as Brown as possible to make it in today's America.

About Alicia Garza

Alicia Garza is an American Civil Rights organizer and writer best known for co-creating the international Black Lives Matter movement. Garza has become one of the most influential voices on the planet in a movement centered around the liberation of black people from authoritative systemic violence. 

About Black Lives Matter / Black Lives Matter Global Network

In 2013, three radical Black organizers — Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi — created a Black-centered political will and movement building project called #BlackLivesMatter. The project is now a member-led global network of more than 40 chapters. Their members organize and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and Black Futures Lab & Black to the Future Action Fund

About Black Futures Lab

As Principal of The Black Futures Lab, Alicia works to transform Black communities into constituencies that change the way power operates—locally, statewide and nationally. The problems facing the Black communities are complex—the solutions require experimentation, innovation, and political power.

Quotes

‘My greatest strength, I have thick skin and a soft heart” - Alicia Garza

Around the world women’s rights to freedom, justice and civil rights are being infringed upon and, in the case of Iran, violently attacked. The protests and revolution are a struggle for freedom and equality. This is not a fight against the hijab or against men. It is a fight against ignorance and as such it is supported fiercely by the men of Iran who are suffering a majority of casualties in their activism.

Background on the Iran Revolution

The protests in Iran we are seeing today erupted in mid-September after the death of Mahsa Amini, while she was in the custody of the “morality police” for allegedly violating the country’s hijab law by showing a bit of her hair. Women and youth have been leading the protests, demanding social freedom and political change, gender equality and the end of the state’s regime. 

Crowds have continued to gather in defiance of the authorities even as the government recently pledged harsh punishment for defiers — including executions.

While numbers are difficult to verify due to the lack of independent reporting in Iran, 19,200 protesters have been detained and 469 people including 63 children and 32 women have been killed since the protests began, according to the latest figures by the Human Rights Activists News Agency, or HRANA.

Jamey, Liz and returning guest host Andy Grammer look at the powerful relationships we have with our fathers and discuss why challenges with dads are often put on daughters rather than the fathers themselves.

The hosts reflect on both the positive and negative impacts their own fathers had on their lives (spoiler alert: they were all pretty great in their own ways). Liz talks about the effect of having a dad with extremely high standards. Andy and Jamey share how they hope to impact their own children's lives. And Jamey calls his daughter live, which you don't want to miss.

We’re joined by former skinhead turned feminist activist, Graham Finochio, to talk about the radicalization of young, isolated men, how the prison system fails men and how being called in to accountability and community can create radical acceptance and change. Orphaned at 14, Graham shares stories of his upbringing, his lack of support and community, his radicalization during homlessness and the program, Success Stories, that challenged his ideologies and changed his heart during his final days in prison.

About Andy Grammer: 

Multi-platinum performer Andy Grammer is a gifted songwriter with a bent toward contemporary soul and pop and hits like"Keep Your Head Up" and "Fine by Me." A native of Los Angeles, Grammer is the son of children's music artist Red Grammer, and grew up in New York State. He later returned to California to earn his B.A. in music industry studies from California State University, Northridge. Much of his career is dedicated to his mother who passed when he was 25. In 2015, Grammer returned with his sophomore album, Magazines or Novels, featuring the singles "Back Home" and "Honey, I'm Good," the latter of which reached number nine on the Billboard chart. (It also helped him become the first male pop artist since John Mayer to reach the Top Ten at adult pop radio on his first two singles.)
