S2 E2 - Chris Delos Reyes - Worthy of Love

In this episode of Men and Love, I sit down with my brother Chris Delos Reyes for a conversation about self-love, masculinity, fatherhood, commitment, receiving, sexual integrity, and the ways partnership can reveal both the wounded boy and the grown man inside us. Chris is a husband, father, healer, clinic owner, Registered Massage Therapist, acupuncture provider, and founder of Holistic Connection in downtown Toronto. His work blends physical, emotional, and energetic healing, and in this conversation he brings that same depth into the topic of love. We talk about what it means for a man to love himself in the moments he is not proud of how he showed up. We explore the younger parts of us that still come alive in conflict, the importance of rupture and repair, and how fatherhood and partnership invite men into deeper ownership. One of the strongest themes in this episode is the way a man can learn about himself through the mirror of a woman. Not because it is her job to raise him, but because real love reveals what is still hidden, defended, immature, or waiting to be met. Chris shares beautifully about his wife April, what she has taught him about receiving, and how being truly seen by her helped him touch one of the deepest truths a man can come to know: “I am worthy of love.” We also get into commitment, sexual energy, integrity, and what it means for a man to keep his energy directed toward his wife rather than leaking it into distraction, fantasy, or old patterns. This conversation is brotherhood, challenge, laughter, honesty, and a reminder that men do not need to figure this out alone.

S2 E2 - Sexual Sovereignty Challenge Intro Call

In this episode of Men and Love, I’m sharing the opening call from the June Sexual Sovereignty Challenge inside The Powerful Partner Community. This conversation is an invitation for men to explore their relationship with sexual energy, pornography, desire, integrity, and self leadership. This is not about shame, perfection, repression, or proving how disciplined you are. It is about awareness. It is about learning how to be with the intensity of your energy without being ruled by it. Inside this call, I share why I’m personally entering a month of deeper sexual sovereignty, how this practice has impacted my marriage, my leadership, my creativity, and my sense of courage, and why brotherhood matters when men are working with patterns they’ve often carried alone. We explore the core question of the challenge. What choice would bring me into deeper integrity with this energy? This episode is for the man who knows there is more available in his life, his partnership, and his purpose when he stops leaking his energy unconsciously and starts relating to it with presence, ownership, and intention. The invitation is simple. You decide. You decide how you relate to your desire. You decide what you are reclaiming. You decide what kind of man you are practicing becoming.
