88. Modern Man

What is the evolving role of men in the modern world? Men in today’s world are at a crossroads - one of both accountability and opportunity. Marisol and Adam discuss Adam's work in this space, passion for building male community and how he became interested in this work.

More than ever before, men need networks of support, accountability and community to help them navigate and thrive through their personal and professional lives. The pandemic has highlighted the weak foundation of connection that many men have in their lives.  Marisol and Adam share several stories of men feeling isolated during these times and how few options men have for support. 

What type of "mens work" is out there for the everyday man? 

Adam also discusses the need for men to come together at this moment in history to define their role moving forward within the context of modern social and environmental movements such as MeToo, BLM and the climate emergency. There is conversation happening about what men shouldn't be doing but there needs to be more conversation about how men can be a helpful part of creating a just and healthy world for all.

Marisol and Adam make the connections between patriarchy's impact on men and how it limits them from finding their true place in this modern world.

This podcast might not be for everyone and that's ok. We hope you find the discussion meaningful.

About the Podcast

Reading Aloud
Welcome to the Reading Aloud Podcast, a place where the creative, emotional and hilarious aspects of relationship communication are explored in real-time, by a real Married couple. Marisol and Adam are a married couple living in Asheville, North Carolina. Outside of the Podcast, Marisol is an entrepreneur, who owns SolReflection, a therapeutic image consulting firm (she's a style therapist) and Adam works for Dogwood Alliance, a environmental non-profit organization. After dating, marriage, and lots of travel, the couple went on a long fertility journey. That journey lead them to IVF, a tremulous pregnancy, post partum depression and an amazing life altering miracle kid, Neo (all while recording the ups & downs). These days Marisol and Adam are raising a toddler, navigating the surrogate process to add to their family, and starting the egg retrieval/IVF process again after a miscarriage. Tune in as the couple provides you insight into how they communicate, navigate and thrive through married life, parenting, being an adult, and living in the world today.
