Men & the Underworld with Chris Skidmore
Brothers In Depth
In this episode I sit down with my friend Chris Skidmore — biodynamic craniosacral therapist, astrologer, holistic psychotherapist, and lover of myth. We explore the underworld as it shows up in men’s lives: the places we avoid, the emotional depths we’d rather not descend into, and the myths that map those territories. Chris talks about how myth gives shape to the unconscious, and how stories like the caterpillar’s transformation mirror the initiations men go through when they’re willing to slow down and feel what’s actually moving inside them. We look at the fear and resistance...

Men & Birth with Lianne Schwartz
Brothers In Depth
Welcome to the first official episode of Brothers in Depth. To kick things off, I welcomed Lianne Schwartz, a renowned midwife who has been a registered midwife for 23 years and attending births for 28, including the births of my own children, Lila and Latham. Our discussion starts with the magical and intuitive aspects of midwifery, touching on how midwives like Lianne can often sense details about pregnancies that parents themselves may not yet realize — including how she knew my wife Megan was pregnant before we even did.

We kicked off the conversation by getting deep into Justin’s unique position in the world of tantra and intimacy, where he and his partner, Londin, practice radical monogamy while raising a child, a rarity in this space. Justin opened up about why radical monogamy holds such significance for him and how he grew into this practice over time.
We also discussed how people often enter the world of sacred sex and spirituality seeking heightened erotic experiences and multiple orgasms, which can turn into a yearning akin to an addiction. However, true spiritual growth in sexual practice involves moving beyond these initial cravings to achieve a state of real spiritual liberation and maturation.
Finally, we get into a practice that I find to be one of the most intriguing paths I’ve taken in my spiritual practice — non-ejaculatory orgasm. Justin explained how men who abstain from ejaculation can maintain higher energy levels, enhance intimacy, and strengthen the bond with their partner. This practice is not simply about denying release, but transforming and circulating sexual energy throughout the body, thus enriching one’s daily life and deepening intimate connections.
For men looking to deepen their own spiritual practices, enhance the connection they have with their partner, or even if you’re just starting down a spiritual path, I hope you’ll take the time to listen to this full episode to better understand what it truly means to be a man walking a spiritual path.
