What if the masculine isn’t broken—it’s just been programmed to forget its purpose? In this deeply transformative episode of Her Second Stage, Hilda Lunderstedt sits down with Dr. Steven Young to explore how women in midlife can create healing, harmony, and safety by understanding the masculine-feminine polarity and the deeper energetic dynamics at play.
You’ll hear how fear has shaped the nervous system of the modern woman—and why true empowerment doesn’t come from becoming more masculine but from remembering how to soften without losing strength. Dr. Young, a physical therapist for over 20 years, studied the body, healing, and the impact of energetic healing. He is a spiritual mentor, dedicating himself to bringing about change to the planet, and he brings a radical new perspective on why the masculine archetypes of King and Warrior have been suppressed and why women have had to overfunction in their masculine to survive.
This episode invites women to step out of survival mode and into sacred embodiment. It redefines how we perceive toxic masculinity, explains how polarity affects all relationships (romantic, professional, and within ourselves), and gives practical tools for opting out of fear and into faith, unity, and trust. Most importantly, it calls us to stop trying to fix ourselves—and instead start remembering who we truly are.
You’ll learn:
This isn’t about fixing the masculine or perfecting the feminine—it’s about opting out of the old game and choosing a new one. If you’ve ever felt like you had to do it all, lead like a man, or numb your softness to survive… this episode will bring you home.
