  EP 436 When Success Still Feels Like Survival | Tanya Dubé

  Aug 18, 202659 min

  At twelve years old, Tanya Marie Dubé left home with $18. For the next several years, she moved between friends' houses, church bathrooms, cars, closets, and the street while trying to finish school. She learned how to read a room, anticipate danger, handle everything herself, and do whatever needed to be done to get through to the next day. Those skills helped her survive. The problem is that survival strategies don't always disappear when the danger does. In this episode, Tanya and I get into what she calls the five survival identities — the hyper-independent, the performer, the pleaser, the caretaker, and the invisible one — and how the versions of ourselves that once kept us safe can eventually become the same versions keeping us stuck. We also get into something I see all the time with high achievers: checking every damn box and still wondering why success doesn't feel like enough. What happens when slowing down feels more dangerous than working harder? Can you actually feel satisfied without losing your ambition? And how do you tell the difference between genuinely trying to survive and continuing to live like you still have to? This one's about the identities we build to survive, what happens when they outlive their usefulness, and what it takes to stop dragging them into the rest of our lives. —— Men, come train with us in The UNcivilized Nation: https://www.manuncivilized.com/thenation —— Tanya's 5-Day Identity Challenge: https://identity-collapse-challenge.com/ Connect with Tanya: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tanyamariedubeofficial/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tanyamariedube/ Connect with Traver: Website: https://www.manuncivilized.com Substack: https://traverboehm.substack.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/traverboehm/ Get my books: https://www.manuncivilized.com/books CHAPTERS 00:00 Tanya's Return to Acting 02:06 What Is a Survival Identity? 08:27 Leaving Home at 12 With $18 13:42 How Survival Becomes an Identity 18:16 The Five Survival Identities 20:22 Do Men and Women Have Different Survival Identities? 23:18 Step One: Notice What's Not Working 27:57 Why Success Still Doesn't Feel Like Enough 35:15 Can You Be Driven and Still Be Satisfied? 41:26 What If You're Actually Just Trying to Survive? 51:07 Tanya's 5-Day Identity Challenge 53:28 What Does "Soul-Led" Actually Mean?

  EP 435 Speak Kindly to Yourself — A Solo From Costa Rica | Traver Boehm

  Jul 27, 202618 min

  I left my suitcase on an airplane, sprinted through a Houston terminal, and blew out both calves in the process. That was day one of seven weeks in Costa Rica — and it was just the beginning of the jungle trying to teach me something. In this solo episode, I'm sharing three lessons I brought back from Costa Rica — through injuries, a viral post about men's mental health, and a free diving course that scared the hell out of me. Lesson one — slow the hell down, even when everything in you wants to move at full speed. Lesson two — how you talk to yourself matters more than almost anything else, and why I made a promise to myself back in 2016 that I still keep today. Lesson three — what free diving 15 meters underwater taught me about the power of a single thought, and how fast it can change everything happening in your body. If you've ever felt like you're moving too fast to hear what's actually going on inside you — this one's for you. —— Men, come train with us in The UNcivilized Nation —— Connect with Traver: Website Substack Instagram: @traverboehm Get my books Chapter List 00:00 Flight Chaos and Injuries in Costa Rica 06:00 Lesson One: Slow the Hell Down 07:37 Lesson Two: Speak Kindly to Yourself 11:42 Lesson Three: The Power of a Single Thought 17:12 Costa Rica Recap and What's Next

  EP 434 Love, Truth, and What We're All Afraid to Feel | Sasha Cobra

  Jul 20, 20261h 23m

  Sasha Cobra spent her twenties pouring drinks at a private cocktail bar in San Francisco — sober, vegan, healthy, and getting paid well to serve people poison. Then one Saturday morning in Golden Gate Park, she closed her eyes and saw herself doing something else entirely. She called her boss from a tea house that same afternoon and quit. She never went back. That decision started a twenty-year path that's led her to work with thousands of people around the world on sexuality, trauma, and healing. In this episode, she and I get into what she calls Love, Truth, and Eros — three words that sound simple until you actually try to live them. Why she believes love isn't a feeling but a regulated nervous system. Why almost nobody you've ever met actually operates from truth. And why she thinks the most repressed, most misunderstood part of being human might also be the most healing. This one goes into the body, sexuality, and trauma — and we don't tiptoe around any of it. —— Men, come train with us in The UNcivilized Nation —— Connect with Sasha: Website Community Instagram Connect with Traver: Website Substack Instagram: @traverboehm Get my books CHAPTERS: 00:00 Love, Truth, and Eros: The Framework 06:58 Personal Truth vs. Societal Lies 16:59 Masculine and Feminine Energy 22:15 What Eros Really Means 32:35 Coming Back to the Body 34:23 Releasing Emotion Through the Body 42:39 Facing Emotional Overwhelm 45:57 Lovemaking as Medicine 51:48 Living in a Different Paradigm 58:51 Why No Teacher Has It All Figured Out 01:01:34 Sasha's Story: Quitting the Nightclub, Finding Her Path 01:12:41 Social Media: Tool or Poison 01:18:33 Building Community, Wrapping Up

  EP 433 The Path of Poetry | Laurita Gorman

  Jul 13, 202656 min

  Laurita Gorman almost never got called up to read her poem in front of the audience. She signed up for her first poetry slam and spent the whole night waiting to hear her name — the host had forgotten to add her to the list. She got up anyway. And wouldn’t you know it, placed second. That accident put her in the finals, and by the end of that year she was reading a poem about a woman named Laken Riley to a room that went completely silent. Laurita is a Canadian-born poet and therapist living in Australia. A poet from an early age, she filled journal after journal. In her twenties, she started taking those journals into therapy sessions to figure out what she'd actually been trying to say. Life eventually stopped her in her tracks and pushed her back toward performing — and within a year she was standing on the Sydney Opera House stage. We get into what it actually took to go from writing privately to reading in front of strangers. Why she stopped trying to be "nice" and started saying the true thing instead. What it felt like the night a room full of women grabbed her arm without saying a word. And why she believes a poem can do something years of talking can't. If you've ever had something true stuck in your throat you didn't know how to say — this one's for you. —— Connect with Laurita: Instagram —— Men –– Join us in The UNcivilized Nation Connect with Traver: Website Substack Instagram: @traverboehm Get my books 00:00 Introduction to Laurita Gorman 02:54 The Journey from Personal to Public Poetry 15:51 The Power of Voice and Expression 30:04 How Poetry Became Her Therapy 37:48 Connection Is Our Instinct, Not an Inconvenience 47:42 Sharing Poetry and Its Impact

  NSFW EP 432 Masks, Shadows & Sex Like LSD | Athos Khan

  Jul 6, 20261h 6m

  Fair warning — this one is not safe for work. It's also not safe for anyone who wants to keep pretending that what happens in the bedroom has nothing to do with who you are everywhere else. —— Athos Khan is a board-certified physician, Jungian-influenced philosopher, and author of several books on kink, intimacy, and the deeper psychology underneath both. He's been kinky since the beginning — and he's spent the last several years writing and thinking about why that matters far beyond the bedroom. We go deep on things most people are too uncomfortable to say out loud. Why the West stripped the meaning out of sex and what that's actually costing us. Jung's conception of libido as a generative force — not just a rush to orgasm. Why great sex is dangerous, what your fantasies are actually pointing at symbolically, and why the shadow doesn't disappear just because you ignore it. We also talk about what it means to orient all of this toward good — even when what you're doing looks, from the outside, like it has no business being called that. If you've ever felt like your sexuality was bigger than you knew how to hold, this episode might be the framework you didn't know you were looking for. —— Connect with Athos: Substack YouTube Books — available on Amazon: Love is a Kink | The Architecture of Intimacy | Structuring Desire —— You might also enjoy these related conversations: The Deep Psychology of BDSM & Kink w/ Dr. Douglas Thomas EP 415 — Living an UNtamed Life by Following Your Truth | Kati Bird —— Men –– Join The UNcivilized Nation Connect with Traver: Website Substack Instagram: @traverboehm Get my books Chapter List 00:00 Intro 01:01 Meet Athos: Doctor, Philosopher, and Kinky as Hell 07:27 Why the West Got Sex Wrong 13:32 Sex Like LSD — Not Chardonnay 22:41 Safe Containers and Starting Points 29:58 Your Darkest Fantasies and What They're Actually Pointing At 41:33 Why This Energy Is So Big 50:24 Integration: When the Mask Becomes Your Face 01:00:37 Orientation Toward Good 01:04:58 Wrap Up
