Why do so many men seem “fine” on the surface but struggle to share what’s underneath? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst explains a mind-blowing truth: boys are born with a wider emotional range than girls—and our culture trains it out of them. We explore how this shapes fathers, marriages, intimacy, and “grumpy old men” — and what actually creates emotional safety, connection, and healing at home. We also share a simple Feelings Reference Chart you can use at your kitchen table to help boys (and men!) put words to what they feel.

If this message blesses you, please like, comment, and share to reach the hearts that wish to soften. New episodes weekly 💛
