KELSI SHEREN | Where Feminism and Vulnerability Go Wrong

This one is going to be a different one for you guys today. For the third time in the history of Order of Man in nearly a decade, we have a woman joining us on the podcast. Kelsi Sheren is a good friend of mine, and she is not afraid to pull punches. We’ve had some very public disagreements about the concept of “Vulnerability,” and “Feminism.” And, I thought, if we’re going to take this movement to the next level, all of us (myself included) need to take ourselves outside our comfort zones.

Today, Kelsi and I discuss masculine energy in women, where the idea of vulnerability falls flat, the difference between feminism and “modern-day feminism,” overcoming fear, why expectations of others just set you up for failure, why honesty and humility may be a better approach relative to vulnerability, where woman and men fail each other and themselves, and so much more.

Kelsi Sheren

My guest today is only the third woman to join me on the Order of Man podcast over the past decade but I can think of few better than her to talk with all of us about what her perspective is on some of most polarizing social concepts of today (feminism, vulnerability, war, masculine and feminine energy, men’s mental health, therapy, and so much more). Her name is Kelsi Sheren.

Kelsi is a Canadian combat veteran who has served in the Canadian, American, and British military in some of the most hostile combat situations in Afghanistan. She is also a Tae Kwon Do champion and has battled PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) from her time in service.

She’s been featured on Jordan Peterson, Lex Friedman, and Jocko Willink’s podcast – and now, arguably, her best feature, the Order of Man podcast.

She is committed to helping combat veterans across the globe, building her incredible influence as a highly sought-after keynote speaker, author, and mindset and transformative coach.

Don't Take My Word For It

Men, by now you’ve heard all about the Iron Council. But, coming from me, it’s easy to see why I might be a bit biased when it comes to our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council.

So, let me allow a few of our members do the talking for once:

1. Chris Croom says:
   The iron council is better and cheaper than therapy. The Council presents multiple opportunities to network, build yourself, and develop a better path. The Council, when used correctly, is the step you never knew you needed to get you heading toward a better tomorrow.
2. Karan Gill says:
   The Iron Council is a great environment for men to connect with other growth-oriented men who have good values. It's a faith, family, and fitness immersed environment. It's a resource for men to gradually improve their lives holistically, with a 1% better everyday approach towards a stronger personal identity.
   It intangibly enriches the lives of men in ways they wouldn't otherwise expect. It's a great foundational, multifaceted place for men to pursue the path of personal growth.

We’re hosting a preview call on Monday September 30^th at 8:00pm ET. If you’d like to learn more and band with us, go to www.theironcouncil.com/preview.
