Most men don’t realize they’re grieving.
They just know they feel stuck… disconnected… angry… numb… exhausted. They’re overworking, avoiding, blowing up—or shutting down. But underneath the addiction, the burnout, the conflict… is unprocessed grief.
In this raw and powerful conversation, grief expert Joshua Wenner unpacks the hidden losses that men carry—losses from childhood, unmet expectations, relationship ruptures, business failures, and the identity shifts that come with fatherhood and marriage.
Joshua has spent over a decade studying grief, interviewing the top experts, and making a feature-length documentary on the subject. In this episode, he shares what he’s learned, including the tools that help men regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with their hearts, and finally move forward.
If you’ve ever felt like something was off—but couldn’t name it—this episode is for you.
You’ll walk away with practical tools to stabilize, feel, heal, and become more present for yourself and those you love.
