Have you spent years feeling unseen in your relationship, wondering why someone who says they love you can’t seem to connect with you emotionally? In this episode, we explore the hidden emotional architecture behind that disconnect — specifically, how alexithymia and cultural conditioning through patriarchy create the perfect storm for emotional starvation.
This is not just about emotionally unavailable men. It's about men who were taught — sometimes neurologically wired — not to feel. And it’s about the women who’ve lived beside them for decades, carrying the entire emotional weight of the relationship and doubting themselves the whole time.
We explore how these patterns intertwine with narcissistic abuse, how emotional neglect masquerades as "normal," and how survivors can finally name what they experienced — not as personal failure, but as systemic conditioning.
If you’ve ever asked:
- “Why won’t he open up?”
- “Is it me?”
- “How can something so silent feel so painful?”
This episode offers answers — and the validation you've been craving.
It’s not just about what happened. It’s about finally putting words to what was missing.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
