She unveils the startling impact of maternal relationships on our well-being, using evocative stories that hit close to home.

 Our chat doesn't stop there. We pull back the curtain on societal norms and cultural stigmas that muzzle men's emotional expression. Drawing on poignant examples and penetrating insights, we dissect how these rigid expectations can amplify mental distress. It's a clarion call to dismantle these norms, encouraging men to embrace vulnerability as a conduit to healing.
 
 Finally, we embark on the path of self-discovery and reparenting. Discover how you can heal from past traumas by understanding the five F behaviors – fight, flight, fawn, freeze, and fib. It's a transformative exploration of the intricate ties between our past and present, our trauma, and our growth. This episode is a testament to the power of understanding and acknowledging our past as the first step towards healing and growth.
