Is it true that men need to stop "taking care of their responsibilities." 

In this world where there expectation is that men must take care of their responsibilities, we are losing men. They are losing themselves. Men are lost, broken, exhausted, and in the process of producing, performing, and providing are taking less and less responsibility for themselves. 

It's time for radical transformation. 

In this episode of the Be The Torch podcast, I explore the concept of reframing the common phrase 'take care of your responsibilities' to help men lead more fulfilling lives. I discusses the pressures men face to provide and perform, and how these pressures can often lead to stress, anxiety, and burnout. I emphasize the importance of prioritizing one's own well-being and health, alongside fulfilling responsibilities, and of course share insights from my personal experience while offering practical steps, including mastering your mornings, to help men become the best version of themselves.
