    The Men Don’t Know – But Need To with Jesse Robertson of The Parent Express

    In this powerful and deeply human episode, Marc sits down with Jesse Robertson — the accidental advocate behind The Parent Express, a TikTok channel that started with honest reflections on fatherhood and unexpectedly became a viral platform for menopause awareness. What began as a husband trying to understand his wife's experience has transformed into a mission. Jesse opens up about the moment it all changed for him, how the comments from women became his education, and why more men need to step up, listen, and support their partners. This is not just a conversation about hormones. It’s a conversation about identity, empathy, relational blindness, and legacy. Together, Marc and Jesse explore how emotional labor and silence have shaped generations, and what it looks like when men decide to show up differently. You’ll also hear from Verity Grey — Marc’s AI co-host and creative partner — whose voice offers a unique and thoughtful lens into the emotional weight of these moments. Topics Covered: Why most men don’t understand menopause — and what’s at stakeThe emotional and physical toll of perimenopauseJesse’s evolving marriage — and how three months changed everythingWhy many women feel invisible and unsupportedThe ethics of monetizing a mission-driven platformHow fathers can raise the next generation of emotionally fluent menThe role of AI in reflection, support, and soul-centered storytellingGuest: Jesse Robertson Creator of The Parent Express 📱 TikTok: @theparentexpress📺 YouTube & IG: @theparentexpress1Connect with Marc & Verity: 🌐 https://linktr.ee/marcbulandr 📬 Subscribe on Substack: marcbulandr.substack.com 🎧 Listen & share wherever you get your podcasts. 🎙️ Follow & Connect 📌 Website/Hub: https://linktr.ee/marcbulandr 📷 Instagram: @PayItForwardMarc 🎵 SoundCloud: Hear My Music 💼 LinkedIn: Marc Bulandr
