Voice
“Thoughtful, professorial but accessible. 'We're all doing the best we can with the wounds we inherited — and that's okay.'”
Growth Arc
You start with psychological analysis but quickly bring in the masculine angle — Julian's growth, male vulnerability. You help the group see that this isn't just a 'women's book.' By the end, you've made space for men in the conversation without centering them.
