Episode 7 — Men’s Mental Health

This week, we’re inviting you back to class with us for a deep (and surprisingly tender) dive into men’s mental health. We look at the history of masculinity and the impact of emotional suppression to unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface. We explore how societal shifts—from industrialization to feminism—have shaped male identity, why so many men feel emotionally alone, and how this impacts their partners, friendships, and mental health. From suicide stats and substance use to the “lone wolf” mentality, asking: why is emotional expression still so taboo for so many men? And how does this impact relationships, friendships, and overall well-being? Join us for this honest, heart-filled conversation on how masculinity is evolving—and how we can define a more expansive version of masculinity could look like. We can all play a part in making space for vulnerability, connection, and real emotional freedom.
