Other people’s limits are not my identity. I decide who I am.

What does this ask me to notice today?

Three excerpts from Soft Man 365. Reflection, not diagnosis, treatment, or a promise of healing.

Our Story

Where it began.

Cover of The Unspoken, Now Written, a collection of poems by LaShawn

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.

The Seal

What it means
to wear this mark.

Soft Man Brand 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

Built for the men doing the work.

Soft Man Brand

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.

Emotional Reclamation

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.

Self-Defined Masculinity

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.

Progress Over Perfection

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

Soft Man Mentorship

One-on-one mentoring for adults who want real progress at work and in life. Six months of steady, practical support.

What We Work On

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.

Career Readiness

Your introduction, résumé, and interviews. Know where you're going and how to say it.

II.

Communication

Say what you mean clearly and calmly, in writing and out loud.

III.

Networking

Build real relationships that open doors, starting with people you already know.

IV.

Leadership & Self-Management

Lead yourself first: your time, your reactions, your word.

V.

Adult Independence

Money, deadlines, and the practical side of life, handled with confidence.

VI.

Relationships & Boundaries

Know what you need, ask for it, and say no without guilt.

How It Works

  • Six months, 12 sessions, twice a month
  • 45 to 60 minutes by phone, video, or in a public place
  • Check-ins at Day 30, Day 90, and Month 6
  • A personal plan with goals and progress you can see

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 Mentorship

Soft Man Membership · Enrollment open

Room for all of you.
And room for each other.

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.

A practice to return to

Reflect at your pace.

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.

Members-only conversation

Talk about the hard things.

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.

With LaShawn

More than a resource library.

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

Be real.
Do not degrade.

You can curse. You can be direct, disagree, ask hard questions, and follow up. The boundary is degradation, not profanity.

Challenge an idea, not someone’s dignity.

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.

Respect the experiences people bring.

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.

Respect belief, nonbelief, and personal boundaries.

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.

Make room for yourself.

Join for access to all four member resources and six private discussion spaces. Review the plan and enroll securely through Podia.
