Healing the Father Wound, Ending Male Isolation & Reclaiming Gold – with Men’s Healer Rick Broniec
View Transcript
Episode Description
In this powerful episode of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, I sit down with internationally respected men’s healer, bestselling author, and workshop facilitator Rick Broniec.
With over 35 years of experience leading men’s trainings on six continents through the Mankind Project, Rick brings deep wisdom on two of the most devastating afflictions facing men today: the epidemic of isolation and the father wound.
We explore why so many men lack meaningful friendships, how early programming blocks emotional intimacy, and how shame around “feminine” qualities suffocates authentic masculinity. Rick unpacks how men are trained to suppress not just their darkness—but also their gold.
You’ll hear why embracing the full spectrum of your emotional and spiritual self is essential to creating a healthy sexual life.
We also dive into Rick’s revolutionary upcoming Sacred Men’s Retreat in Brazil: a week-long ayahuasca-assisted journey of deep men’s work, spiritual healing, and connection, happening July 7–13, 2025.
This retreat is legal, safe, guided by skilled indigenous shamans, and held in a beautiful oceanside resort just outside Rio de Janeiro. If you’ve been called to plant medicine and feel ready to unlock the next level of your healing, this could be the path you’ve been waiting for.
