Death is literally the greatest teacher that we have.

Asher Packman’s life circumstances forced him to rewrite his relationship with death. This journey started in 2007, when his sister took her own life at the peak of Asher’s corporate career. His mother died not long after, and while Asher was still deep in grief, he received his own blood cancer diagnosis.

But in the shadows and the darkness, Asher allowed death to become his most powerful teacher. By choosing to embrace the presence of death in his life, Asher discovered how to truly live.

Death is a conversation most of want to avoid, but we shouldn’t. The second you’re born, death becomes a certainty.

In this taboo-breaking interview, Asher shows you how you can call in death without fear – and allow it to teach you the secret of life.

Asher Packman is the president of Meditation Australia and the founder of Warrior Within and The Fifth Direction. He also runs death workshops.

Over the last decade, Asher has grown to become a globally recognized mindset coach and meditation teacher. Combining heart intelligence with Eastern philosophies and storytelling, he provides an approach that will connect you to the unlimited potential of your own true nature.

In this empowering conversation that everyone needs to have about death, Asher and I explore:

1. Why we’re having a conversation with death all the time.
2. The power of learning from the darkness and shadows?
3. Exploring the dance between destiny and free choice.
4. Navigating the journey from our head to our heart.
5. Asher’s life experiences that inspired him to start an inner journey.
6. Asher’s relationships with his illness.
7. The difference between acceptance and agreements.
8. The power of lockdown for inspiring a collective rite of passage.I encourage you to listen in.

As men, we are so hell-bent on protecting our masculinity because – this runs to the root of an identity – if you’re not a man, then you’re weak, you’re ostracized, you’re not valued. And then, you’re on your own. You’re left to kind of perish. This runs so deeply inside of us that we don’t recognize the game that we’re playing, which is “protect my man card.”

You may have noticed a recent trend where people are talking about the patriarchy, toxic masculinity, and what it means to be a man.

These confronting conversations are forcing us to look more closely at masculine and feminine dynamics and the healthy role that each plays in establishing harmonious societies. As a result, there are a growing number of men willing to take the journey required to step into healthier versions of manhood.

As my brother Dominick Quartuccio explains, there are a lot of little boys running around in the bodies of men. The reason? Conventional schooling and society don’t prioritize teaching the transition into healthy masculinity.

But if we’re willing to lean into our vulnerability and listen to our hearts’ whispers, not only will we experience profound healing BUT we have an opportunity to unleash the true power of our divine masculine into the world.

In this powerful conversation, Dominick and I explore what healthy masculinity looks like and the challenges men face while protecting their ‘man card’. And as you’ll hear, cultivating the confidence to listen to your heart in the midst of all the noise is a powerful way to transform your life – especially during 2020.

Dominick is a leader in the field of healthy masculinity and a man who walks his talk. His commitment to do the inner work always blows me away. As a coach, author, and advocate, Dominick helps men discover and live the Great Man Within. He co-hosts The Great Man Within podcast, and runs DoInnerWork.com. He also leads The Great Man Mastermind, a community of high caliber and high character men living their greatest purpose and optimizing their performance in everything they do.

Here’s a taste of what we discuss in this incredible conversation:

1. What is a healthy definition of masculinity?
2. Why are there so many little boys living in men’s bodies.
3. How to navigate the death of an identity as a season in your life ends.
4. The power of initiations and the rite of passage ceremonies.
5. How to ask for help without losing your man card.
6. How can men hold space to be friends with a woman?
7. The healing power of being vulnerable with other men
8. How to be vulnerable with yourself.

With plenty to think about and takeaway for both men and women, this episode is the perfect way to explore the healing effect of cultivating healthy masculine energy in your life.

We stay in the fast lane so that we don’t have to feel our deal.

Current times have forced a new pace of life upon so many of us. There’s an invitation to slow down, take stock, and reassess what’s most important. There’s a window to be more intentional and practice the grounding ritual that connects us back to our true essence.

Sure, these times are challenging – especially for those of us who are used to speed and hustle, but the pause can also be healing. Slowing down provides an opportunity to sit with the emotions and feelings hidden by the ‘go-go-go’ lifestyle.

In turn, we have a chance to shift from DOing to BEing – and in the process, we get clearer on our own wants, needs, and desires.

This episode’s guest – the incredible Nancy Levin – is here to help you navigate that transition with ease and grace. Drawing from personal experiences, Nancy shares her story about escaping the addictive ‘on-it’ lifestyle to learn how to live her life on her terms.

Nancy Levin is a Master Coach and bestselling author of several books including her latest, Setting Boundaries Will Set You Free.

Formerly the Event Director at Hay House for over a decade, Nancy is the creator of Levin Life Coach Academy and offers in-depth coaching and training programs designed to support clients in making themselves a priority and setting boundaries that stick.

Here’s a taste of what Nancy and I explore in this powerful episode:

1. What does it feel like to go from a million miles per hour to slowing down completely?
2. How does self-love feel?
3. What are boundaries, what role do they play, and how do you know that you need one?
4. The three sisters of overcoming selfishness.
5. How to heal resentment.
6. Why telling the truth takes less energy.
7. Understanding our relationship to security and safety.
8. Why the present moment is your crystal ball.
9. And more…

If you’re ready to prioritize your own needs and take the stigma out of selfishness to live a slower-paced life, this episode promises a lot of clarity.
