Deconstructing the Masculine Experience & Living an Integrated Life as a Man W/ Alex Hardy

welcome to the Courage Project !!

we are finally bringing back guests to the show after one year, and I can't think of a better conversation to start us off.

Alex Hardy is an explorer, leader, and student of life.  he spent a decade in the corporate world working on Wall Street, then building and selling a software business to DocuSign.  despite success on paper, he couldn't find lasting happiness or meaning climbing the career ladder.  so he quit, without a backup plan.

for the past year, Alex has been reconnecting with himself and exploring the topics that bring him alive.  these include spirituality, menswork, and every healing modality imaginable.  now, Alex splits his time between Austin (TX), Bali, and Costa Rica.

in this conversation, we discuss:

• Alex’s journey from hustling in his career on Wall Street to a more soul-nourishing life
• "spirituality", through a few different lenses
• norms about what it means to be a man (& what must be SUPPRESSED to satisfy those norms)
• what kind of support men need to live an integrated life
• how we can have compassion for ALL populations of people

if you enjoy this chat, please let me know by sending me a quick Instagram DM, and share to your stories or someone who might need to hear it too!  <3

with love,

Elyse
