\n
\nIt’s easy to think you were born into a personality and that life is a given, but at some point you start to see the expectations, shoulds, cultural constructs you’ve been “swimming in” since childhood.\xa0
\n
\n
\n
\nAt some point you start to see your ability to impact your life and relationships, making them work with and for you, rather than against you.

\nAs a result of the cultural norm that says men don’t cry and should man up, many men are left struggling and alone with stress and trauma. It is common to be afraid to share what you’re going through for fear of being seen as weak or unmanly. Today’s guest shares how you can reduce stress and trauma while also feeling more confident, empowered and connected.
