Hey fellas. I want to bring something to the attention of The Expanse and the Men IN it. Yesterday I was navigating a space of un-safety where my camping/sleeping gear was taken from my campsite. This disruption to my wholeness activated a lot of anger within me, and because I didn't sufficiently sit with it and metabolize it, it got misdirected toward my fellow Man @Steven Cruz in my interaction with him. You can see our exchange here. My misdirected anger and the borderline violence of my languaging did NOT sit well with me. Especially after receiving another Man's perspective and feedback on it. I have directly contacted Steven and apologized for how I engaged with him and he was gracious enough to resolve and repair the affect of my comments. I want to bring this attention to the group for multiple reasons- here are a few. 1. I am human just like everyone else. I'm not an AI Chatbot. 2. While I am a co-founder and co-creator of this container, I still fumble, falter and forget ALL THE TIME. I am ALWAYS LEARNING. 3. I have found over and over again that when I OWN MY SPACE, ENERGY AND EXPRESSION with myself and ESPECIALLY with others- I ALWAYS feel lighter. 4. While I did not do anything WRONG or shameful, my expression and its impact was not how I intended it. This will NOT be the last time this happens in here or ANYWHERE. 5. If you see or hear me say something that doesn't land, doesn't resonate or inspires excessive dis-ease in you- PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Thanks you for patience and grace as I learn. After all I'm incredibly grateful for how things transpired because it led to an amazing exchange with @Tah Whitty. The exchange is recorded and linked below. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO LISTEN. Thank you all for being here on this ride with us. It's a pleasure and an honor to co-create this container and this Life with y'all.

I gotta tell you. It was pretty awesome. They just get better and better. They depth that we got into from Friday-Sunday was pretty profound. There was a LOT of talk from the women around the challenges their men have been experiencing and the challenges they have faced interacting with me who are questioning themselves and don't have solid footing in their lives in emotional and relational spaces. I had quite a few conversations around their men having solid career paths but their personal lives were the biggest challenges. I know at some point @Corbin Sellers and @Jared Johnson are considering putting some men's retreats together. Would that be something y'all would be interested in exploring? Hit the poll and drop a comment below!

Thanks to @Steven Cruz for jumping on for an engaging 20-minute conversation! More of these to come!

I'll be here for any Expanse or Man OS related questions or if you just wanna say "Hi". (Make sure you announce yourself if I am in another window I won't see you come in.)

Video is a bit on the longer side, but it's basically my thoughts on how I navigated through it once I noticed it, and my "March 2023" story. https://www.loom.com/share/4557382b7eab49948b4ec15e6c58ef7e
