“I’m here if you need me, just reach out.”

It sounds simple. But for most men, it’s not.

In this episode, I break down why opening up is so difficult for men, how we were conditioned to suppress emotions, and what it actually takes to start processing what we feel. We talk about anger as a default emotion, the fear of vulnerability, trust in relationships, and how to find the right people to open up to.

I also share my personal experience with therapy, the importance of doing the work between sessions, and why emotional awareness is a real form of strength.

This is not about fixing everything…
