Jim Bernardo is a men's group facilitator, trauma recovery coach, and author dedicated to helping men navigate their journeys of healing and self-discovery. His new book, Echoes of Broken Skies, delves into the critical challenges men face, including mental health struggles, loneliness, societal expectations, and the alarmingly high rates of suicide.
After a lengthy career in the technology industry, spending much of his life chasing outward signs of success while increasingly feeling disconnected and unfulfilled, Jim experienced a transformative awakening in his mid-fifties that set him on a new path. Drawing on his struggles and growth and his work with organizations like The Mankind Project, Jim now empowers men to confront the wounds rooted in their childhoods, uncover their authentic selves, and build enriching lives. Through his book, programs, and coaching, he creates safe spaces for men to explore their pain, understand their emotions, and embrace emotionally mature masculinity. Jim's mission is deeply rooted in his passion for fostering a healthier, more compassionate world for men and the people who love them.
