What does it mean to truly belong - as a man, as a woman, and as a human being craving connection?

In this intimate episode of 13 Minutes, host B HaLevi is joined by Ariela HaLevi for a deeply honest conversation about the growing loneliness epidemic and the timeless need for circles — men’s groups, women’s circles, and the ancient ways we used to gather long before modern life pulled us apart.

Together, B and Ariela explore the masculine and feminine pathways back to connection. B brings his grounded, direct lens on men’s work, responsibility, and emotional resilience, while Ariela offers her intuitive, heart-centered perspective on women’s circles, ancestral patterns, and the healing that happens when women gather in truth.

They reflect on how men often move through the world in silence — doing, fixing, pushing — while women navigate layers of emotional labor, intuition, and holding space. And yet beneath these differences lies the same human longing: to be supported, witnessed, and understood.

Their conversation moves between ancient memory and modern challenge — from hunter-and-gatherer roles to the post-COVID landscape of isolation, from competition to vulnerability, from midlife awakening to the courage it takes to show up for ourselves and each other.

Together, B and Ariela dive into:

-The roots of why men and women need circles

-The difference between masculine and feminine community

-Why isolation is rising even as the world feels more connected

-How gathering heals emotional, relational, and spiritual wounds

-What midlife reveals about purpose, belonging, and identity

-The shared human need to be witnessed and held

This episode is an invitation to remember something ancient — that we were never meant to do life alone.
