This post is spurred in part by some conversation that came up in the UNRECORDED 🙄🖕😭… Pleasure Break this afternoon... Sorry y'all ❤️🕺🍑 It's also taken from one of my Substack posts a while back. I’ve been thinking about how many men were trained to protect by fixing, rescuing, controlling, or stepping in with aggression. 🤺🥷🏼🍒 🧘🏼‍♀️ 🌈 But what happens when protection is no longer about saving someone from life? Maybe the deeper work now is learning how to hold a healthy container. ❤️‍🔥🫙❤️‍🔥 🫶🏼 To bring strength without domination. 🔥 Fire without damage. 🤗 Presence without control. 🕺🐒 I don’t think masculinity needs to disappear. I think it needs to mature. ‼️⁉️ So I’m curious… these questions apply to men or women: 🧐 🌈 What does healthy protection look like to you now? 💗🍑 And where do you still feel the old training show up?

I will finish out this day with one more 69.... What is your celebration today.... Small or large .....they all count. Love you and see you in the morning.... GN

So I started this community on August 22, 2025… So just about seven months ago. I had zero idea how to run this thing how it worked and what I needed to do to create engagement and aliveness on the community. 🙌🌈🤩🙄❤️‍🔥 💖 I really started dropping in here about a month ago 🌈❤️‍🔥🤩💖 and figuring out this thing and one of the most engaging and educational communities I ran across is called Goosify (you can check it out at the link). 🙌🌈🤩🙄 Engagement is key here on this platform and recognizing, communicating, and reaching out to individual members and recognizing wins and desires is KEY!! and I wasn't doing that so a lot of early members just kind of got lost. 🙄🐒🎭 I was a bad little monkey for sure - but not on purpose 🙏🏽🦊❤️‍🔥🔥 Now I am recognizing them and saying "THANK YOU for your early commitment!" 🌈❤️‍🔥🤩💖 Listed in order of joining: @Margaret Barr @Leanne Rowell @Juan Wulff Salcedo @Shawn Tennant @Kelly Lytle @Lupe Valdez @Jordan Urbs (killer AI master - check him out) @Cecily Bee @Fanya Lewbin @Abi Dorhosti @Eric Stromberger @Mia Leighty @Doc M Since Jan. 1, 2026 @Erin Upchurch @Jon Carl Lewis @Rita Muckenhirn @Shekinah Fischer @David Bruce Leonard @Ruthy Glickfeld @Denis Fassero @Kimmy Albrecht Some of you I know very well and we actually have fairly regular communication outside of Skool. Some of you snuck in and I had not seen your names - and I am super sad about that.
