  • Rewilding Our Boys (Ep. 240)
    Apr 22 2026

    Host Casey Harper is joined by Katy Talento to explore the idea of “rewilding our boys.” In today’s culture, young boys are often criticized for being too loud, too energetic, simply, too boyish. Katy emphasizes the importance of giving boys the freedom to play without constant restriction, allowing them to test their limits, take risks, and discover their own strength. The two also touch on the role women play in shaping boys’ environments, particularly in schools and daycares, where they are often the ones setting rules and boundaries.
