Josh Logan Young joins us this week on Forager Health Podcast! Join us in this intimate and heartfelt container where we break down Josh’s lifetime of insight on all the ways men are trained to fail in our modern relationships and how to rewrite the script on what intimacy with yourself and your partners can look like.

We break down in great detail many ways to grow into your potential as a divine masculine sexual expression of Self. Josh and I go back and forth in expressing the pitfalls commonly faced and the lengths we need to go to for change to be seen in our daily habits and lifelong patterns.

We also discuss:

• What Sacred Sexuality looks like both when alone and when experimenting with a partner.
• Conventional and not-so-common practices, considerations, and strategies for stepping into your Truth as someone who is able to hold Sacred Space for yourself and others.
• Shadow Work for couples & having conversations about your sex life.
• How Pain and heartbreak can be used as a catalyst for healing if we choose it to be.
• The meaning of Devotional relationships and how a Devotional mindset can shape your reality for healthier partnerships
• Understanding pleasure, and how we can use or abuse our Sacred Masculine Energy
• How Sex is supposed to be, and the practices and energetics of Sacred Sex
• Overcoming Generational Trauma one conversation at a time
• And More!!
