Grow as a Group
Join the conversation online or at our live sessions as we explore themes of emotional awareness, resilience, and purpose.
Because growth happens in connection.
So many of us grew up without spaces to talk about the things that truly shape us — our emotions, our struggles, our triumphs.
Through shared reading and real conversations, Connect’d Reads helps us build that muscle: understanding ourselves, supporting each other, and redefining what strength looks like.
What Now?
Our current selection is Permission to Feel by Marc Brackett, Ph.D.
A groundbreaking book on emotional intelligence and how understanding our emotions can transform our lives.
As a community rooted in healing and healthy masculinity, we’re exploring what it means to recognize, name, and work with our emotions — rather than suppress them.
This is especially important for men, who are often taught to disconnect from their feelings in the name of strength. Brackett’s work challenges that conditioning, reminding us that emotional awareness isn’t weakness — it’s a form of power.
Through this read, we’re not just learning about emotions;
we’re practicing the courage it takes to feel them fully —
and reconnecting with parts of ourselves many of us were taught to hide.
