    Father Power: Breaking the Cycle of Negative Legacies

    Father Power refers to the influence and authority fathers hold over their children. It relates to a father's capacity to influence their children through actions, guidance, and support. In this episode, we examine Father Power’s relevance in today’s society, and how its misuse leaves many of our children with feelings of failure and resentment. In addition, we delve into the journey of a man who turned the negative influence of his father into a positive force, fostering healing and reconciliation between a father and a son.

    Who Appraised You?

    Who appraised you as a young boy or as a man? Many men show up in the world undervaluing themselves because people inaccurately ascribed the wrong value to them. How we see ourselves matters. It influences how we show up in relationships, on a job, how we raise our kids, and how we love. It even impacts our mental state.  Listen to this episode as we explore some truths that you may have forgotten or never heard about yourself.

    The Mask Men Wear: The Stoic Mask

    Today on the Man Up Podcast, we have two amazing men joining us to talk about the masks men wear. Carlos White and Rev. Leon Wright share their experiences wearing The Stoic Mask or The I’m Good Mask. Lewis Howes, in his book, The Mask Of Masculinity, reveals the mask this way: THE STOIC MASK- Because every man must be invulnerable and tough, emotions are carefully managed and suppressed. There can be no crying, no pain, no feeling. A wall is put up between him and the world to protect him, to pretend he doesn't feel the things he does because weakness is an invitation to scrutiny, judgment, and rejection. In this episode, we explore what elements went into creating this mask. What hinders a man from taking off this mask? Why do men feel that they need The Stoic Mask? As well as our fear of removing it.
