[Ep. 1] You're Playing with Fire | Aaron Young
Manage episode 454336910 series 3622266
In the premiere episode of UNCUT: The Male Puberty Podcast, Aaron Young takes us on a raw and heartfelt journey through his adolescence, shaped by the rigid doctrines of an evangelical upbringing.
Aaron shares vivid memories of being told to "hold his seed" and grappling with the shame and confusion around his changing body and desires. When he sought guidance from his pastor about navigating a crush during puberty, he was met with warnings about “playing with fire”—a message that left him feeling isolated and unsure of how to connect with himself or others.
But this episode isn’t just about struggle; it’s about healing. We end with Aaron’s poignant and empowering song, "Listen to Your Body", where he shares the advice he now gives his nephews—wisdom he wishes someone had shared with him during those formative years.
