The Rise of the New Masculine: From Hustle to Harmony

In this powerful episode, Rudi and Anniston Riekstins unpack the emerging paradigm shift around masculine and feminine energy. For too long, society has glorified hustle, control, and dominance—hallmarks of the old masculine. But there’s a change happening. A collapse of the outdated masculine frequency is making space for a more integrated, intentional, heart-led model.

Rudi shares his personal journey navigating this transformation—from high-performing hustle to a magnetic stillness rooted in presence and self-knowing. Anniston explains how divine feminine and masculine energies exist in all of us, regardless of gender, and how balancing the two leads to power, peace, and alignment.

Whether you’re a man seeking deeper purpose or a woman looking to understand the shift in energy around you, this episode will challenge, inspire, and empower you to evolve with grace.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Masculine and feminine energy exist in all of us
• The old masculine is collapsing; the new is rooted in presence, stillness, and love
• True leadership starts with emotional mastery and intentionality
• Creating space is more powerful than dominating space
• Your frequency—your energetic state—is your greatest currency
• Integration of masculine/feminine energy leads to alignment and fulfillment
