Our Story
Soft Man began with a book. In 2024, LaShawn walked through a difficult season and chose to write his way through it, honestly and without filter. That writing became The Unspoken, Now Written, a collection of poems on grief, betrayal, family, and healing.
The process deepened a conviction he had always carried: that men must be truly tapped into their emotions, mindful, self-knowing, and fully themselves even when they do not feel their best.
Soft Man is that conviction made into a brand, men defining masculinity on their own terms, with owning your emotions as what matters most.
Owning your emotions also means being vulnerable: being honest with yourself, and reaching out for help when you are struggling. That is why Soft Man offers free mental health and addiction resources, and why we built Gold Star, a private way to track your progress without shame.
In Conversation
Join LaShawn on The Kolby Kulture Show for an honest conversation about vulnerability, self-acceptance, and making room for every part of who you are.
Redefining Masculinity on Your Own Terms

The Seal
The hexagon is nature's most intelligent structure. Six equal sides form a perfect balance of strength, efficiency, and interconnection. Found in honeycombs, crystals, and the molecular design of our world, the hexagon holds weight without waste. It protects, supports, and endures — not through force, but through harmony.
The Soft Man Seal draws from this sacred geometry. It represents a new vision of masculinity rooted in natural strength, emotional truth, and wholeness as intended by nature.
"This seal is a return. To softness. To strength. To the version of you that was always meant to exist."
Our Purpose
Soft Man Brand exists for every man who has been handed a version of masculinity that never quite fit — and has decided to define it for himself instead.
I.
Emotion is not weakness. It is data. It is signal. Soft Man Brand gives men the tools to meet their emotional lives with honesty instead of avoidance.
II.
The culture offers one story. We offer space for yours. Masculinity is yours to define — not the world's, not the culture's. Yours.
III.
Showing up imperfectly still counts. Every tool we build is rooted in one belief: partial progress is real progress. You are not behind.
For the unmovable object. For the unstoppable force. For the performer. For the entity known as "man."
You don't become the emotion. You don't drown in it. You meet it. You feel it. You move forward — wiser, freer, more whole.

Mentorship
One-on-one mentoring for adults who want real progress at work and in life. Six months of steady, practical support.
You choose the two areas that matter most right now. We set clear goals and work on them together, with practice you can actually use.
Build professional confidence, strengthen your communication, handle workplace situations with a steadier hand, and leave with a practical plan for your next chapter.
I.
Your introduction, résumé, and interviews. Know where you're going and how to say it.
II.
Say what you mean clearly and calmly, in writing and out loud.
III.
Build real relationships that open doors, starting with people you already know.
IV.
Lead yourself first: your time, your reactions, your word.
V.
Money, deadlines, and the practical side of life, handled with confidence.
VI.
Know what you need, ask for it, and say no without guilt.
How It Works
Founding group: up to three spots, free in exchange for honest feedback. For adults 18 and older.
It starts with a short conversation to see if the program is a good fit for you.
Ask About MentorshipOpens your email app. You can also write to hello@softmanbrand.com. A short note is enough. Please keep anything private for our first conversation.

Soft Man Membership · Enrollment open
A consistent reflection practice, with space for honest conversation. A membership that brings personal reflection and six private discussion spaces together.
$15 USD/month. Renews automatically until canceled. No free trial.
Start with the Member Welcome Packet, then explore the separate Onion Exercise, Notice a Boundary when relevant, and Acknowledge Progress after an attempt, pause, or repair. No daily streak to keep. No pressure to share your answers.
A forum for questions, shared perspectives, and discussions that do not need a neat answer. Join the conversation or simply read. Your personal story is yours to share, or not.
LaShawn will contribute consistently and respond across discussions. That is a commitment to participate, not a promise of an immediate answer, a reply to every post, or private coaching.
How we show up
You can curse. You can be direct, disagree, ask hard questions, and follow up. The boundary is degradation, not profanity.
Racism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, misogyny, ableism, threats, harassment, and other identity-based hate have no place here. Disagreement is welcome. Humiliation is not.
Follow-up questions are welcome, but nobody owes the group personal details or continued engagement. Respect someone’s decision not to answer.
Do not shame someone for addiction, recovery, or mental-health struggles. Do not blame survivors of abuse or sexual assault, demand details, or use someone’s family background against them.
Someone can talk about prejudice they grew up around without endorsing it. Make room for accountability and change without turning their history into an insult.
Faith, doubt, religious harm, and disagreement can be discussed without mocking or talking down to people for their beliefs or lack of belief.
Do not share another member’s stories or identifying information outside the forum without their permission. Members-only access is not a guarantee of confidentiality.
Join for access to all four member resources and six private discussion spaces. Review the plan and enroll securely through Podia.
Join Soft Man · $15/monthMembership billing: $15 USD is due at signup, then monthly until canceled. No free trial. Review the terms at checkout before joining.
Separate offers: books, physical journals, the Gold Star app, Notion products, mentorship, and KORVELL programs are not automatically included.
Support stays free. The community is not therapy, medical treatment, crisis care, or a continuously monitored service. Our free mental-health and addiction resources remain available without joining.
