Movember Real Talk Ep10 - Doug Wubben

"How Does It Feel to Be a Heart?" - Exploring Masculinity and Connection

In this Movember series episode, I had a heartfelt conversation with Doug Wubben—a coach, nurse, and lifelong seeker of connection and balance. From his early activism to his coaching practice, Doug’s journey offers a unique perspective on masculinity, emotional vulnerability, and the transformative power of connection.

One of Doug’s most profound reflections comes from a poem by Hafiz: “How does it feel to be a heart? For all I know is love.” This sentiment underscores our conversation, as we explored:

  • The complexities of masculinity and the impact of cultural norms

  • How fear of rejection and fear of violence shape men’s and women’s experiences

  • Balancing masculine and feminine energies to foster growth and connection

  • The healing power of personal growth and solo experiences in nature

Doug’s insights are a reminder that vulnerability is not a weakness but a path to deeper relationships and self-discovery.
