Episode Overview
- AIR focuses on helping men find balance in mind, body, and soul.

Masculinity is one half of the human construct. It's not about bravado; it's about accessing assertive energy for the betterment of humanity.
Ever wondered why some programmes focus solely on men? In this episode of The Freeology Podcast, Chuck Swenson and Jason Lyell share their unique approach to working exclusively with men through their programme, Adventures in Recovery (AIR). They kick off with a light-hearted chat about sleep patterns and California-sized beds, setting a relaxed tone before diving into more serious topics.
Their conversation meanders through personal anecdotes, touching on how their experiences shape their understanding of masculinity and its role in recovery and personal growth. Chuck and Jason explain that AIR started with outdoor, backcountry trips aimed at people in recovery. Over time, it evolved to support men struggling with various life challenges, aiming to help them find their 'true north'.
They highlight the lack of mindful-based programmes specifically designed for men and discuss how their own understanding as men allows them to create effective support systems. The duo also touches on societal issues like toxic masculinity and the Me Too movement, emphasising the importance of balanced masculinity. The hosts are candid about their journey, admitting that while they don’t have all the answers, they strive to help men achieve a balanced mind, body, and soul.
They stress that their goal isn’t to exclude women but to focus on what they know best – helping men. This episode is a blend of humour, heartfelt stories, and insightful discussions about masculinity and recovery. If you’re curious about how men can reclaim a balanced, mindful life, this episode is a must-listen. Why not give it a go and see if it resonates with you?
