MEN MATTER

When do we actually give men the space to figure out what they need?

We ask a lot of men.

Be a good partner. Be a good dad. Show up at work. Be there for your mates. Handle your shit. Keep going.

But how often does someone actually stop and ask:

How are you?
What are you carrying?
What do you need?
What do you want?
Who are you becoming?

And more importantly, when do you actually get the time and space to figure out the answers?

MEN MATTER was created for exactly that.

A day where you don't have to be anything for anyone else.

You don't need to have your shit falling apart to come. You don't need to know what you want to talk about. And you definitely don't need to arrive with all the answers.

Good men need support too.

This isn't a day where I'm going to tell you how to be a man.

It's a space where you actually get to understand the man you are.

We'll have real conversations about the things that are going on in your life - relationships, intimacy, identity, pressure, purpose, what you're carrying, what you've lost touch with, what you want more of, and what actually makes you feel alive.

There'll be conversation. Reflection. Experiences that get you out of your head. And space to hear from other men and realise you might not be the only one figuring some of this shit out.

You won't be expected to share anything you don't want to.

But you will be invited to get curious about yourself.

MEN MATTER isn't only for the man who's struggling.

It's for the man who's doing alright too.

The man who has a good life but knows there's more of himself he wants to understand.

The man who's spent years showing up for everyone else and hasn't had much space that's actually about him.

The man navigating relationships, fatherhood, separation, sexuality, work, purpose, change or simply wondering who the fuck he is at this point in his life.

You don't need a crisis to deserve support.

Not my version of the man you should be.

More of you.

A clearer understanding of what you need.
What matters to you.
What's been taking up space.
What makes you feel alive.
What deserves your attention next.

And hopefully, a feeling that I think too many men go without:

I've got somewhere I can actually be myself and talk about this shit.

I've got your back, man.

You’re invited to join us for dinner.

If you’re around on Saturday night, I’d love for you to come have a feed with us before MEN MATTER.

Nothing formal. Nothing you need to prepare for. Just a table of men coming together, meeting each other and having a good conversation before we spend the next day together.

It’s completely optional, just a little something extra I wanted to create for the men coming along.

Saturday 24 October • Gold Coast
Dinner will be at your own expense. Venue details will be shared closer to the event.

Hey, I’m Katelin the energetic & passionate woman behind You Go Bro and your host for MEN MATTER.

For many years, most of my work was with women through You Go Girlfriend.
Then something started happening.

Men started reaching out to me.

“Katelin, we need your help too.”

So I started listening. And the more I listened, the more I realised just how little space we give men to actually talk about what’s going on for them.

I turned towards that work and honestly, I haven’t looked back.

I’ve now had the privilege of sitting with men through some incredibly honest conversations and watching what can happen when a man is simply given the time, support and space to be himself.

I’ve watched men start to feel like themselves again.

And that’s a huge part of why MEN MATTER exists.

I’ve got your back, man.
