You can’t heal what you won’t face. This week, we’re doing something different—spotlighting a man who’s doing the deep inner work and showing up with radical honesty.
In this episode of The Woman UP! Podcast, Fraser Walker, a former teacher turned personal development mento, shares how childhood trauma, emotional suppression, and toxic masculinity shaped his early life.
He opens up about being raised by a single mum, his complicated relationship with his father, and how therapy helped him break generational cycles.
This is an incredibly vulnerable and powerful conversation about what masculinity really looks like when it’s no longer rooted in ego or silence.
From rage and heartbreak to boundaries and self-respect, Fraser’s story is a testament to what’s possible when we choose to heal.
🧠 Topics in this episode:– Masculinity, vulnerability & modern manhood– Growing up without a father figure– Why many men still fear emotional honesty– The turning point that led Fraser to therapy– How trauma shows up in relationships– Setting boundaries with family– Redefining leadership & respect– The power of being witnessed
Whether you’re a woman wanting to understand the men around you, or a man navigating your own healing, this one is for you!
