Glad to be mentioned here, Sam, and grateful you (almost) always pick up the phone! As you know, I’m a huge proponent of those spontaneous calls, even if I’ve only got 5-10 minutes in the car. I find more frequent check-ins, even if short, allow for deeper conversations — since you’re not worried about covering months worth of ground in one conversation.
My wife gives me tons of grief after I talk to one of my other buddies — we’ll have a half hour conversation and she’ll ask me a basic question about the health and well-being of his family, and I’ll have to respond with “I have not idea… didn’t come up!”
This is awesome Sam and thank you for sharing. I appreciate reading your perspective and how the journey has unfolded over time. To me, your share gives me the opportunity to take a sneak peek into a man's group ( I already do that a bit as my partner also has one and I am often in conversation with men) but I believe this is super important in this moment in time. That women have a deeper understanding of men and vice-versa. My way of doing this is by creating the "fishbowl" part of my substack. A space for people to have a look inside what happens in sacred space. My last one was this: https://theclab.substack.com/p/the-dance-between-the-private-and. It's always a fine line trying to share more widely what happens in intimate spaces and I know that the way I am doing is tricky (through recording videos), but I feel it's necessary as many of us hold strong projections on the other sex and when we get a chance of seeing what is really happening our hearts tend to soften and our minds can create a more accurate image. Anyway...I'm not sure how I ended up subscribing to your substack but I am happy to be here. :-)
Thanks Adriana! love your intention to give people a peak into sacred spaces and your idea around "the dance between the private and the public". it feels important to share a glimpse into those spaces so more people can stumble into them while also honoring the private nature that can contribute to their magic. excited to check out more of your work!

hahaha... "what did you you talk about?"
"I don't know, but it was beautiful!"
