What is toxic masculinity—and why does it matter? In this honest and thought-provoking conversation, we dive deep into the cultural pressures placed on men to be "tough," emotionless, and always in control. We explore how these outdated ideals not only harm men’s mental and emotional well-being, but also ripple out to affect families, relationships, and society as a whole.
From emotional repression and fear of vulnerability to the rejection of empathy and softness, this discussion unpacks the roots of toxic masculinity and challenges the stereotypes that keep so many men stuck. We also talk about what healthier masculinity could look like—centered on emotional expression, accountability, and authentic human connection.
If you're curious about how gender norms are evolving—or just want to reflect on what it really means to "be a man"—this episode is for you.
