In this in-person episode, my close friend Kit Bargmann shares his incredible personal journey and wrestling with the complexities of manhood, relationships, and emotional growth. Kit reflects on the lessons learned from dark seasons in his life and the significance of surrendering to the journey of self-discovery and growth. Together, we explore the parallels of the hero's journey and identify areas that require confrontation, such as shame, embracing vulnerability, and finding the gold in pain and darkness, as essential steps in personal growth and healing.
