Men’s mental health and aging as a man—what a combo. In this special birthday episode, Dennis turns 33 and dives headfirst into what it really feels like to be a man in his 30s, reflecting on life not quite going as planned, the weird pressure to "have it all figured out," and the little existential crisis that can sneak up with every passing year.
Turning 30 used to feel like the beginning of adulthood… now 33 feels like a weird milestone no one warned us about. From the nostalgia of our early 20s to the new aches in our backs, this episode explores how aging as a man often brings more questions than answers—and why that’s totally okay.
If you’ve ever found yourself looking back at your younger self wondering “what happened to the plan?”, this one’s for you.
🎂 Featuring personal stories, honest reflection, and a few laughs, this episode is a reminder that getting older doesn’t mean your life is over—it just means you're human.
