Welcome to the Explorer Poet Podcast. This episode will be a bit different. Rather than one guest, this is a group call, with a discussion facilitated by Rick Belden, who was first on the podcast back in Episode 51. He returns here for what was a virtual night of exploring personal stories, the processing of grief, and the pathway to healing.On the call, we discussed questions such as - What is a Mother Wound? What is a Father Wound? What is our inner child? How can we access and heal earlier versions of ourselves? And how do we become connected to those inner selves?Rick is an artist, poet, and coach who works with men to solve difficult emotional, personal, and relational challenges. He’s a great listener, is full of insights and experience, and I truly enjoyed my evening with Rick and the others who joined the call.Episode Details:Guest Name: Rick BeldenWebsite: https://www.rickbeldencoaching.com/Instagram: http://instagram.com/rickbeldencoachingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rickbeldenpoetTwitter: https://x.com/rickbeldenYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@RickBeldenArticle: Men and the Mother WoundPoem: "motherspace"Poem: "the grief I will not let myself feel"Poem: "tears never cried"Image: "Grief is a gateway to mature masculinity"Gong Sound: 68261__juskiddink__bell4.wavWhere to find The EXPLORER POET Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexplorerpoet/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheExplorerPoetYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIQxs0F0mGoEJYNNJx4ph5g Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Z9WKzUIWbq5qOJE1zmRJQ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-explorer-poet-podcast/id1621189025 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ead95bf9-2f53-4965-8c29-b787a198891c/the-explorer-poet-podcast Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy85MmM5ZTY5NC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw?sa=X&ved=0CAMQ4aUDahcKEwjA6v_KhPn3AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQLA This is a public episode.
