What does it mean to be a man in today's world? And how can you, as a woman, understand men better?
The Mentor of Men Podcast explores how traditional paradigms & sentiments challenge both men and women & how we can evolve towards a modern, authentic & fulfilling kind of manhood.
The Mentor of Men Podcast offers honest, tough, confronting, but also fun conversations on topics that aren't talked about enough, especially by men, like the body, male ego, success, spirituality, sex, mental health, fatherhood & many more.

🇳🇱 Erik tafelgast bij Nynke Nijman - “SEKS, RELATIES EN LIEFDES: Leren voelen en groeien” 🇳🇱
Erik was te gast bij dé Nederlandse podcast over seks, relaties & liefde. Een podcast over de diversiteit van seksualiteit, het onderhouden van je relatie en de impact van liefde.
Drs. Nynke Nijman is psycholoog, systeemtherapeut en consulent seksuele gezondheid NVVS. Ze werkt als relatietherapeut en seksuoloog, en geeft les aan het Erasmus MC en het UMCG. Daarnaast is ze oprichtster van ilvy.com, een platform over seks en relaties, en schrijft onder andere voor AndC en Bedrock magazine. En last but not least, schreef ze de best sellers “Schaamteloze Seks” en “De Relatie APK”.
Over deze aflevering:
“De Mentor of Men noemt hij zichzelf, maar hij ziet zichzelf vooral als continuë bron van ontwikkeling. Hij pretendeert niet de waarheid in pacht te hebben, maar denkt wel dat hij als een mentor kan zijn voor andere mannen die nog niet de uitdagingen aan gegaan zijn in hun leven zoals dat hij dat zelf wel is gegaan. Erik van Nieuwburg vertelt over de mannengroepen die hij organiseert, wanneer mannen dan toch eindelijk om hulp vragen, en over zijn eigen ontwikkeling. Een fijn gesprek, waarin andere mannen hopelijk worden aangespoord om ook in beweging te komen.”

🇳🇱 Erik wederom tafelgast bij Lust: “Seksuele autonomie” 🇳🇱
Erik was tafelgast in de seks- en relatiepodcast met Jacqueline van Lieshout en Qruun Schram.
“Een speciale editie van LUST waarin we samen met Erik van Nieuwburg, die al eerder te gast was, terugblikken op de afgelopen afleveringen. Wat is er al besproken en wat hebben we geleerd. Verder gaan we het hebben over het belang van seksuele autonomie, een proces waar Jacqueline net mee begint en waar Erik al ruim 10 jaar mee bezig is en ook vrouwen in coacht.”

🇳🇱 Erik tafelgast bij Lust: “Schaamte rondom seks” 🇳🇱
Erik was tafelgast in de seks- en relatiepodcast met Jacqueline van Lieshout en Qruun Schram.
“In deze aflevering gaan we in gesprek met 'Mentor of Men' Erik van Nieuwburg over het thema schaamte. Want rondom seks, intimiteit en alle gevoelens die daarbij komen kijken, is nogal wat schaamte.
Een lang traject van diepgaande zelfontdekking en intense persoonlijke ontwikkeling zorgde er bij Erik voor dat hij mannen wilde gaan begeleiden. Mannen leren namelijk in hun vroege jeugd al veel dingen af, ze mogen vooral niet zijn zoals een vrouw.
Op latere leeftijd leidt dit vaak tot allerlei problemen rondom ego en een gebrek aan communicatie skills. Erik verricht inmiddels baanbrekend werk met zijn mannencirkels, trainingen en één op één begeleidingen van cliënten, wat tegenwoordig niet alleen maar mannen maar ook steeds meer vrouwen zijn.”

#8 - The Secret to Raising Men Today
In this episode, we discuss what it takes to raise modern boys and men successfully. What's the secret behind it? And how does your self-awareness as a father play a major role in this?
My guest is Niels Pilaar, a father to 4 sons and 1 daughter, co-facilitator at Puja Lepp's Primal Therapy, former CEO of Coram International and experienced men's coach. In addition, he's a co-facilitator at my Warriors Weekender Retreat from 3-5 Feb 2023.
#7 - Sexually Ignite Your Woman by Mastering Consent
In this episode, my guest is Celeste December, an intimacy educator from Berlin & founder of Guided Into Me.
Recently, Celeste contacted me for support & mediation after she felt a friend of mine had violated her boundaries. This sparked a lengthy discussion on how boundary violations can escalate from nitty-gritty transgressions. Subsequently, I wrote a piece about this called "micro transgressions in intimacy", which you can read here.
We decided to record a podcast in which we explore & share experiences about how mastering boundaries & consent can turn into sexual liberation and ignition of women and mind blowing sex.
#6 - Why You Need a Relationship Agreements Document
In this episode, my guest is Newen Fara, a relationship design coach from Amsterdam. Together we discuss the concept of the "Relationship Agreement Document".
Despite its legal-sounding moniker, a relationship contract isn't a binding agreement. Rather, it's a tool for couples to express their needs and work together to craft the parameters of their own unique relationship roadmap: including anything and everything from health and housework, to sex and intimacy.

#5 - First Wave Masculism
In this episode, I'm delving into the power of men's work. I will be doing this with Hajee Pepping, a friend of mine & fellow men's coach, who's been transforming men's lives for many years now with his company Mankracht.
In this podcast, we'll explore what I'd like to call the 1st wave of masculism - call it the masculine version of feminism. Women have been fighting to improve themselves and their position in society for many years with feminism currently being in its 4th wave. But what strides have men made for themselves to evolve along with our women into bettered versions of themselves?
We’ll zoom into this by looking at the foundations of masculine evolution & the power and necessity of men's groups, all based on our experiences with working with men.
#4 - How Men Provide Sexual Safety For Women
This week the rights of women in the USA got a massive blow after Roe vs Wader was overturned. As such, sex has now become a risky activity for women. Now it just so happened that on 31 May I recorded a podcast about how men can provide and increase sexual safety for women. It now even seems more relevant than ever as men also need to become more aware of their responsibilities and consequences surrounding sex.
I explore this topic with my guest Daphne van der Putten. She's the owner and founder of Integral Pelvic Therapy, a midwife, educator, IPT-Practitioner and the founder and owner of Dana Birth Center. On top of that, she's very knowledgeable about conscious sexuality.
Since she is the partner of Yves Bonroy, my first podcast guest, we kick off where Yves and I left off: the most common fckups men make in bed.
#3 - The Trap of Spiritual Dogma
This week my guest is Damian Bohler, a seasoned facilitator & trainer in authentic relating from Byron Bay, Australia. Some days ago he published a post on social media that really took off, opening with the following sentence: "I call bullshit on the polarity teaching notion that men should never bring their emotionality into their relationship and to their woman."
This opened a can of fat & juicy worms around the topic of spiritual dogma in my mind, so I decided to invite him and pick his brain on this topic. Damien accepted and this became our starting point to delve into spiritual dogma and how they perpetuate or even increase the problems we hoped they'd solve.

#2 - True Brotherhood
What is true brotherhood?
Years ago Erik joined a brotherhood a.k.a. a men's group with the goal to redefine how he relates to men. There he found true brotherhood in Yves Konings. From their experiences as 'brothers' and relating to men via men's work, together they have an unscripted, exploratory talk about what defines true brotherhood.
What is it? And what stands in the way for men to experience true brotherhood? And what can we do to foster brotherhood?
#1 - The most common fuckups men make in bed
Most men think they're great drivers - the same usually goes for how they perform in bed. Regrettably, most of us are blind when it comes to our skills between the sheets. And regrettably, women confirm this.
To shed more light on this, for my first podcast I gathered the top 3 mistakes men make in bed from a large number of women. I discuss these most common f#ckups in bed as well as our own with intimacy and sexuality expert & former tantric gigolo Yves Bonroy. In addition, he shares tips for men as well as women to help men improve in bed.
