This conversation goes deeper than most people are willing to go.

In this episode of the 8th Element Podcast, we sit down with Geraecka Lyonns — founder of Mars Rising — to unpack a journey that spans trauma, underground culture, masculinity, and spiritual transformation.

From her past in the world of dominatrix work to coaching men and now helping mothers raise strong, grounded sons, Geraecka shares a perspective you won’t hear anywhere else.

We talk about:

- The hidden struggles men are facing today

- How childhood shapes masculine identity

- The impact of fatherlessness and modern culture

- Why many men feel lost, disconnected, and powerless

- How mothers can unintentionally weaken their sons — and how to fix it

- The role of discipline, responsibility, and purpose in raising strong men
