Sister Wivesstar Kody Brown has flaunted a pricey David Yurman necklace in the past, and it’s time to talk about the symbolic meaning of his shield-shaped pendant. Lately, Kody’s been attacked from all sides, by exes, adult children, and even his beloved “last wife standing,” Robyn Brown. Therefore, it’s not so surprising thatKody chose a symbolthat is all about defense, masculinity and strength.

When he dons the lavish design, he may feel like he’s wearing a talisman that grants him divine protection.

Kody’s pendant wasn’t cheap, and it may be a sign that he’s overspending. There have been rumblings of financial problems, andKody and Robyn recently listed their Arizona house for sale for a whopping $1.65 million. In fact, Kody’s own daughterGwendlyn Brown called her dad outfor his spending habits. Aside from the luxe necklace,Kody bought a $360 Vitamix blender, and Robyn’s been spotted in designer Tory Burch sandals. The couple often prowl shopping malls, seemingly comforted by retail therapy. That isn’t unusual but maybe it’s a sign that something’s missing in their lives.

Is Kody Happy Right Now?

He Seems To Be Carrying Some Trauma

When it comes to faith, all the Browns have been tested. The family has been through some very hard times, includingthe tragic passing of Garrison Brown, who’s now in heaven. The jewelry that people wear often has sentimental value, and it can also tell a story about who they are. In a sense, the shield pendant is personal, like a tattoo, and showcases one facet of the patriarch’s personality. WhileKody likes to play the alpha male, sometimes, he may feel more like a lone wolf than the leader of the pack.

The shield symbol represents masculinity, which is interesting too.Kody is a former polygamistwho was trained to be “the man of the house.” However, many men in society are uncomfortable with outmoded definitions of masculinity. The idea that a man always has to be strong and can never show weakness and emotion is wrong and damaging. Men have feelings, and Kody has been struggling to deal with his as he adjusts to life with just one wife, rather than four.

In the 90s, a “men’s movement” surfaced, where males tried to recover from the pressures that society puts on them. There were Shamanistic rituals, including drum circles, that were mocked, but possibly helped some men to connect with other males. Kody, so often surrounded by females (and complaining ones at that),including the puppetmaster Robyn, has used his “bro time” with male friends and relatives to unwind and share his truth, including his feelings about the polygamist principle of “sacred loneliness.”

Kody Never Seems Very Happy

Why Is He So Restless & Irritable?

Kody appears to be in pain. Nothing ever really makes him happy, and that creates a ripple effect. He spreads the misery around, as seen in theWithout A Crystal Ballclip above, via YouTube. He has some money - he has a wife that he loves. He has wonderful children. However, onscreen, inner peace is in remarkably short supply.

Kody doesn’t have much patience with others, even Robyn, and this is surprising. He seems to blame the women in his life for leaving him even though he pushed them away. Some might argue that he emotionally abused them. So, his lack of comfort with his choices and who he is now may be eased when he wears his shield pendant.

Ultimately, his pendant is a symbol of defense - in war, in bygone days, men (and sometimes women too!) held up shields to ward off the enemy. It’s fascinating that he’s chosen a symbol that’s sort of twofold - it’s about protecting himself, but it’s also about war. Kody claims to want peace, but he’s always fighting.

Kody should put down his shield instead of always being on guard. The walls he’s built keep meaningful connections out. Even Robyn is suffering as he’s always paranoid and defensive. The exes are tired of his power trips and raging.

The warlike aspect of his personality is what keeps getting him into trouble.If he gets in touch with his feelings in a more spiritual and peaceful way, such as through transcendental meditation, Kody may find that his bitterness melts away. His relationships with other people might improve.

If Kody puts less value on masculinity and being in charge, and more value on just being happy in the moment, he won’t need a necklace to feel powerful. TheSister Wivesstar can change, but he needs to focus on improving himself, rather than picking apart the people around him. He needs to strengthen his sense of self from the inside out.
