Oh Lahaina! Part 2
A continuation of Emmy's experience of living in the town of Lahaina, Hawaii on Maui, the town that in August of 2023, burned to the ground in a tragic fire that ripped through at a fierce speed destroying most of the old wooden, historic buildings, homes, neighborhoods and businesses. This story of loss is a tribute to a town rich with history, and it's a story of a place that taught Emmy to know her True Self, her Wise Self.

Ask a Dude, Episode 3, Part 1
Hello and welcome to a special episode of Ask a Dude. About 3 months ago, on an Ask a Dude Podcast, I read my list of what it is to be a good woman. At the end of that episode, Nick told us that he felt inspired to share his list of what it is to be a real man. Nick made his list and shared it with us during a recorded podcast sometime in May, roughly 2 months ago. We now refer to it as ‘the list’. The podcast is edited and ready to go. But we haven’t yet launched it on Sacred Truths. So, why the long pause?
The Ask a Dude series is a process for all of us involved. In many ways this is new territory for us and sometimes we are surprised by what we find. In this podcast, Nick and I discuss the process of making the list, sharing the list, receiving the list, and his reluctance or hesitation to share the list publicly.

Ask A Dude: Episode 1, Part 1
In 2020, I met Nick Oredson, a skilled facilitator who specializes in working with trauma and abuse. I started talking to him about the abuse, harm and harassment I’ve encountered throughout my life at the hands of men, specifically, and the damaging impact it’s had on me. To my surprise, he didn’t flinch – he just took in what I had to say and validated my experience. This was astonishing to me because in my experience, whenever I attempted to speak to men about abuse or demeaning behavior, their response has typically been to diminish my feelings or its impact, shout out in some kind of strange rage, or clam up completely and retreat to silence. I’d never had the experience of a man simply listening and taking in my perspective, until Nick. In time, I began to ask him questions about why men behave in certain ways in certain circumstances. No topic was off limits. He would access what he referred to as the collective male consciousness of shadow masculinity that all men are taught to adhere to, in order to answer my questions as best as he could. We jokingly referred to it as our ‘Ask a Dude’ sessions and I found them so helpful that I suggested he should set up a table on a street corner somewhere with a sign reading “Ask me anything about men” so women could come to him with their baffling questions about men.
That’s how this podcast started. We are a group of 3 women and we come together with a list of questions for Nick to address. This is not rehearsed. He has no idea what we will ask.
Ask A Dude – 3 women, one guy – where we get real answers on subjects most men aren’t willing to talk about.
