Oooh this is a juicy one this week!!  

In 2022, I met Anthony Hopson at the week-long Hoffman Process retreat.  We instantly connected and have gone on to have a really treasured friendship since. 

Anthony has a background in finance, and still runs his business in that space.  In recent years, he has expanded his horizons by becoming a certified counsellor, and breathwork practitioner.  He runs mens’ circles and is also planning a retreat for men later on this year.

Anthony is very open about his own personal development journey, and is passionate about supporting men to be fully themselves; and have connected, fulfilling relationships with their intimate partners.

In our conversation, we discuss: 

• His own healing journey 
• The "aim" of men’s work
• His interpretation of healthy masculinity
• The most common challenges he sees men experiencing 
• The greatest fears men hold 
• Polarity and why it has such influence on relationships 
• The issues men often have with their intimate relationships 
• The genius tip I heard recently to help men support their partners work through problems
• The Rocking Chair Test
• What guys actually want from their partners 
• For those of us mothering boys, what can we do to set them up for being healthy men

The resources we mention are:

• The Holistic Psychologist: instagram.com/the.holistic.psychologist 
• The Secure Relationship: instagram.com/thesecurerelationship
• The Way Of The Superior Man, David Deida
• Dear Lover, David Deida
• Beyond Mars & Venus, John Gray
• 12 Rules For Life, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
• The Gottman Institute resources
