49 Days in Darkness: What Isolation Reveals About Masculinity, Pain, and Brotherhood
With Traver Boehm
In this episode
Traver Boehm sits down with Dr. Tara Perry to explore what happens when you stop running — what isolation reveals about masculinity, pain, and the brotherhood most men never let themselves experience.
Show notes
Traver Boehm, founder of the Uncivilized Men's Movement, two-time TEDx speaker, men's coach, and author of Today I Rise, Man Uncivilized, and 28 Days in Darkness, joins Dr. Tara Perry to explore the root causes of male suffering, why healing men is the key to ending harm caused by men, and what it actually took to spend 49 days alone in complete darkness.
Traver draws on his background in MMA, professional bodyguarding, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to make a case for a new masculinity, one that is raw, relational, and built on brotherhood rather than isolation.
