About this episode

Julien Marion discusses the importance of emotional connection for fathers and shares personal experiences that transformed his parenting approach.

Julien Marion is a father of six, married 17 years, entrepreneur, Muay Thai practitioner, and author of Gentle Rage. In this conversation, Julien breaks down why most men aren't too angry — they're too disconnected. He explains why sexual energy and aggression are the two most primal forces inside every man, and what happens when you suppress them, leak them, or learn to lead them. He also shares what changed in his family after his oldest son attempted suicide and how that moment transformed the way he shows up as a father. 📕 Julien's book Gentle Rage: julienmarion.org
