Hello, hello,

Unknown: 00:00:12

and welcome to the Borealis experience. I’m your host

Unknown: 00:00:16

Aurora, and I’m very happy to be spending some time with you

Unknown: 00:00:20

today.

Unknown: 00:00:21

I hope you’re doing well, hope you’re in a good place. And if

Unknown: 00:00:26

you’re not in a good place, I hope I can make you feel better

Unknown: 00:00:30

make you feel understood and learn more.

Unknown: 00:00:33

Okay.

Unknown: 00:00:35

about the situation you are in right now. Yeah, today’s episode

Unknown: 00:00:43

is about masculine energy, male role models. I don’t know, I

Unknown: 00:00:51

feel like talking about this topic a lot. And I’m just not

Unknown: 00:00:56

going to hold back anymore. A lot of people go through divorce

Unknown: 00:01:05

nowadays. And most of the time, it is the mother who gets the

Unknown: 00:01:12

custody of the children. It is the mother who yet takes care of

Unknown: 00:01:18

the children and goes to work receives support financial

Unknown: 00:01:24

support from her ex husband. And, yeah, this is how it is

Unknown: 00:01:33

being organized. Some guys out there, manage and want to take

Unknown: 00:01:41

care of their kids. And it is only I feel when the woman is

Unknown: 00:01:46

struggling with mental health or other issues that the guy gets

Unknown: 00:01:52

to take care of the children and go to work. And really, in every

Unknown: 00:01:58

family is different. There’s some divorce cases that are

Unknown: 00:02:03

super nasty, and it’s wars. And it’s struggle over years and

Unknown: 00:02:10

lots of pain. And then there’s some people who just decide to

Unknown: 00:02:15

separate and they have a beautiful, harmonious life,

Unknown: 00:02:20

where they organize themselves and everything is going well.

Unknown: 00:02:26

What I want to point out today, though, is that most of the time

Unknown: 00:02:31

it is the mother, who raises the children and goes to work makes

Unknown: 00:02:37

sure that everything is being provided.

Unknown: 00:02:41

For the girls that are born or who live in a situation like

Unknown: 00:02:48

that they grew up with a mom, they see their dad from time to

Unknown: 00:02:52

time. Okay. For the little boys, they grew up with their siblings

Unknown: 00:02:59

and their mom,

Unknown: 00:03:01

and they see their dad from time to time. I feel that the

Unknown: 00:03:12

presence of a father of a male role model in a boy’s childhood

Unknown: 00:03:21

is so incredibly important. It’s very important for a daughter to

Unknown: 00:03:30

grow up with her dad. But she grows up with her mom, she can

Unknown: 00:03:35

copy and paste behavior from her mom. And it’s kind of Yeah, more

Unknown: 00:03:41

natural for a girl to be growing up with her mom and her brother

Unknown: 00:03:46

maybe. But for the little brother, he needs his dad, he

Unknown: 00:03:52

needs to Yeah, learn from a role model from the same gender, how

Unknown: 00:04:01

to go about life. And I feel the women who are trying to do both

Unknown: 00:04:09

are usually overwhelmed. There’s women out there who do an

Unknown: 00:04:12

amazing job. And they have a good relationship with their ex

Unknown: 00:04:18

husband and make it very easy and possible for the children to

Unknown: 00:04:23

see their dad on a regular basis. But for those where it’s

Unknown: 00:04:27

not the case, I see it’s very difficult for the little boys to

Unknown: 00:04:32

grow up and not having a positive masculine role model.

Unknown: 00:04:41

They pick and choose maybe from movies from action heroes, comic

Unknown: 00:04:48

books, maybe Yeah, they have friends that they can see as

Unknown: 00:04:54

role models, but the dad is really missing here and

Unknown: 00:05:00

Sometimes the women who went through a nasty divorce are

Unknown: 00:05:05

angry at their husband or their exes. And it’s on a very subtle

Unknown: 00:05:14

level, that the anger against the x husband is being taken out

Unknown: 00:05:23

on the boy. And don’t get me wrong here, you don’t always

Unknown: 00:05:27

have to go through divorce to have that hatred or fear of man,

Unknown: 00:05:33

you can have been maybe raped or mistreated in your past as a

Unknown: 00:05:39

woman, and still have that subtle fear and hatred against

Unknown: 00:05:44

men. And you will, on a very subtle way, take it out on your

Unknown: 00:05:51

male offspring, you will try and turn them into the perfect man

Unknown: 00:05:57

who’s a bidding who’s submissive. But if he goes out

Unknown: 00:06:02

there into the world, he will quickly realize that Oh shit,

Unknown: 00:06:06

like, this is not how I’m going to get things done. I cannot be

Unknown: 00:06:12

timid and submissive. I cannot be like I was raised and

Unknown: 00:06:20

expected to behave from my mother. I heard this comment

Unknown: 00:06:26

once, and it just made me like started, like, I was so shocked.

Unknown: 00:06:32

It was a guy who said, boys are inherently bad, you have to

Unknown: 00:06:38

break them, you have to break their character, you have to

Unknown: 00:06:44

split open their brain and force goodness into them, because

Unknown: 00:06:50

they’re inherently bad. And I can be open with you. At that

Unknown: 00:06:58

time, it was my boyfriend’s dad.

Unknown: 00:07:03

And

Unknown: 00:07:04

I was so shocked to know that my boyfriend grew up with a dad,

Unknown: 00:07:10

who thought he was inherently bad. And when people think that

Unknown: 00:07:15

when people say such things, then of course, they behave that

Unknown: 00:07:21

way too. And they will always, like overly control the little

Unknown: 00:07:26

boy overly, like shut him down. And when he’s maybe angry and

Unknown: 00:07:32

throwing a tantrum just because, yeah, he’s angry, and he wants

Unknown: 00:07:36

to express himself. They will be beaten down, they will be, as he

Unknown: 00:07:41

said, split open and goodness has to be poured into their

Unknown: 00:07:45

little brains. Like this is so violent, this is so wrong.

Unknown: 00:07:52

Because no matter which gender you have, you will grow up

Unknown: 00:07:57

thinking that you are a bad person, you will grow up and

Unknown: 00:08:03

believe those things about yourself and be shy and not

Unknown: 00:08:08

trust people. Because you think people think you are a bad

Unknown: 00:08:12

person. Isn’t that so? so horrible? And now you can say

Unknown: 00:08:18

all this, what does that have to do with divorce and mothers who

Unknown: 00:08:27

raise their children on their own? Maybe not so much. But I

Unknown: 00:08:32

want to point out that if a woman is fear driven, if a woman

Unknown: 00:08:38

is inherently angry at men, then she will take it out on the

Unknown: 00:08:45

little boy. And it will be in a way that is invisible. For an

Unknown: 00:08:52

outsider, it is just the child that will receive that anger and

Unknown: 00:08:57

that fear driven behavior and will not know that it is not

Unknown: 00:09:04

inherently bad. It is just the mom who has not healed from her

Unknown: 00:09:10

wounds and is taking this out on her children. A woman who has

Unknown: 00:09:18

been hurt is not going to become violent. There’s the odd case

Unknown: 00:09:25

Yeah, there’s violent women out there, no doubt and they have to

Unknown: 00:09:31

go to therapy and have to be treated and be corrected. But

Unknown: 00:09:37

the standard woman, me included when hurt will start to play

Unknown: 00:09:47

mental games, emotional games manipulation, seduction and will

Unknown: 00:09:57

draw you into a mental space where you don’t know where there

Unknown: 00:10:04

is left, or where there is right? You will be so confused,

Unknown: 00:10:09

you will completely lose yourself in the process. Because

Unknown: 00:10:13

it is so subtle. It creeps up into your brain, it manipulates

Unknown: 00:10:20

you, and makes you think that you are a weak, useless,

Unknown: 00:10:26

unworthy person. And it has to be talked about. And I feel me

Unknown: 00:10:32

as a woman, I’m the only one who can talk about it. Because I’ve

Unknown: 00:10:37

experienced this one on one. I know I’m capable of their

Unknown: 00:10:41

behavior. And I know that behavior has been done to me if

Unknown: 00:10:46

you can say that in English.

Unknown: 00:10:49

And the reason I feel we need to talk about it is because it is

Unknown: 00:10:54

so subtle, and no one really puts a finger on it and points

Unknown: 00:11:00

it out. And for men, it is so confusing, because they get so

Unknown: 00:11:05

scared, they get so confused. There’s so much violence and

Unknown: 00:11:09

anger coming up, that the only way that can see they can react

Unknown: 00:11:15

as either run away and shut down or become violent. And the

Unknown: 00:11:21

violence, of course, is not a solution, because you will end

Unknown: 00:11:25

up in jail. And to run away. And to shut down most of the time is

Unknown: 00:11:31

not a solution. Because you keep paying those that money that you

Unknown: 00:11:40

have to pay to your ex. Right. So it is very, very difficult

Unknown: 00:11:46

situation to be in, because you can’t really put a finger on it.

Unknown: 00:11:51

But what I’m trying to do here with my podcast is to disclose

Unknown: 00:11:56

it and talk about it. And know not all women are bad. And not

Unknown: 00:12:01

all women are capable of this behavior. But some are, and we

Unknown: 00:12:06

have to find ways to call them out, and to go to therapy, or

Unknown: 00:12:15

help them otherwise. But as men, you have to know that you are

Unknown: 00:12:19

allowed to

Unknown: 00:12:21

totally

Unknown: 00:12:22

shut down and set boundaries and ask for help. Sometimes, going

Unknown: 00:12:30

through a counseling session where you can truly like trust,

Unknown: 00:12:36

your counselor is very beneficial. There’s wonderful

Unknown: 00:12:41

counselors out there and sometimes even on the phone,

Unknown: 00:12:44

they can help you. But you need to talk to guy friends to maybe

Unknown: 00:12:51

platonic girlfriends, you know, girlfriends that you don’t want

Unknown: 00:12:55

to be physical with romantic with, and speak out how you

Unknown: 00:13:00

feel. Because this is the only way out. I know men and women,

Unknown: 00:13:06

heterosexual men, heterosexual women, those relationships are

Unknown: 00:13:12

in such a big Limbo and mess right now. And I fear if we

Unknown: 00:13:16

don’t start talking about this kind of behavior, then we’re not

Unknown: 00:13:21

gonna get out of this mess anytime soon.

Unknown: 00:13:26

So

Unknown: 00:13:28

if you can resonate with my content here, if you feel like

Unknown: 00:13:34

this is what I need to talk about, then please feel free to

Unknown: 00:13:39

reach out to me on Facebook, or on Instagram. And I have a lot

Unknown: 00:13:46

of good guy friends out there who can be there for you and

Unknown: 00:13:51

listen to you and I will be listening to you too. never

Unknown: 00:13:56

hesitate to give me feedback. Tell me how you feel. If you

Unknown: 00:14:04

think Araya, you went too far, this is no good what you’re

Unknown: 00:14:07

doing here. Or if you feel Aurora, this was awesome. I

Unknown: 00:14:11

needed to hear this I finally feel understood, then please

Unknown: 00:14:17

also reach out to me. So again, I want to raise awareness for

Unknown: 00:14:24

behavior that is not being called out upon in the moment.

Unknown: 00:14:31

And I also want to raise awareness that little boys that

Unknown: 00:14:35

are being raised by a single mom, have a good, right I trust

Unknown: 00:14:41

that the mom is giving everything to her child what it

Unknown: 00:14:45

needs, but it is missing a strong like confident that say

Unknown: 00:14:54

masculine role model. And this is another reason why I bring

Unknown: 00:14:59

guys on To my show, because I want to show to the world that

Unknown: 00:15:03

there’s so many good men out there who deserve women’s

Unknown: 00:15:09

attention. They deserve to be listened to. and understood.

Unknown: 00:15:15

This was a little bit of an intense episode here, I needed

Unknown: 00:15:19

to get this out to you. So again, I hope I didn’t trigger

Unknown: 00:15:24

anything.

Unknown: 00:15:25

I hope you

Unknown: 00:15:27

reach out to me if it resonated with you, I will continue doing

Unknown: 00:15:32

my work here because the feedback I received so far was

Unknown: 00:15:36

very positive and very good. I will be out there tomorrow

Unknown: 00:15:41

again, with a different episode called the inner critic, and how

Unknown: 00:15:48

you can tackle your inner critic and be proud to be on a new path

Unknown: 00:15:56

when you decide to close with things that are not good for you

Unknown: 00:16:03

anymore. All so it is the weekend. So I hope you can have

Unknown: 00:16:14

like some relaxed days where you can just go out in nature and go

Unknown: 00:16:18

for a walk and yeah, let everything sink in. Thank you so

Unknown: 00:16:23

much for listening. This was the Borealis experience. I’m your

Unknown: 00:16:28

host Aurora. And I’ll be out there tomorrow again.
