Addiction, Identity, and the Quiet War | Ep.53

This week, it’s just the crew—no guests, no filters, just a raw conversation about what’s really been going on. Life has been hectic, which is why we’re dropping this episode a bit later than usual. But in the middle of the chaos, we took a moment to check in with each other—because that matters.

One of the hardest things we’re dealing with right now? Quitting smoking and vaping. If you've ever tried to kick a nicotine habit, you already know—it’s brutal. We talk openly about the cravings, the triggers, and why it’s so damn tough to let go of something that once helped us cope.

But we also dive into something deeper: What do men really want? We put ourselves on the spot with a little impromptu trivia—trying to name the top three core emotional needs that define a man’s sense of purpose, identity, and happiness. Women are often told they deserve to feel safe, loved, and prioritized. But what about men? What do we need—and why does no one talk about it?

If you're a man trying to better understand yourself—or someone who loves a man and wants to support him—this one’s worth the listen.
