In this powerful episode of Active Kreative Perspectives, Rae and host Valerie Ogorodnyk raise critical themes about masculinity, parenting, and societal expectations. They explore hard-hitting questions:

🔸 Who’s truly accountable for how our boys are raised?

🔸 Why do we continue labeling men's suffering as mental health issues without addressing deeper, societal root causes?

🔸 How can we create environments where men feel heard, valued, and empowered rather than disposable?

Join us as Rae shares deeply personal insights, provocative ideas, and challenges us all to rethink how we shape the future of men in our lives.

✨ Memorable Quotes from Rae:

"My approach is never to help, never to fix, never to give advice or never tell people what to do. It's always to create space."

Most male suicide has nothing to do with mental health problems as an origin. It’s about relationship breakdown, financial distress, custody issues."

"It's about respecting how masculinity turns up in your child—not squashing it, but celebrating it."

"It's not our job to make our kids into who we want them to be. It's our job to help them into who they already are."

• [00:00:38] Introduction to Rae’s advocacy.

⏱ [00:09:18] – Challenges in Psychedelic Legalisation & Equity Despite Australia's progress in legalising MDMA for PTSD and psilocybin for depression, accessibility remains a major issue.

⏱ [00:16:30] – The Deepest Transformation Through Psychedelics Dr. Roy reflects on the most profound impact of psychedelic therapy: "I've seen people who have survived the worst kinds of trauma—abuse, war, and torture—find a light that is stronger than their enemy’s darkness."
