A Mason's Work

Breaking the Silence


Listen Later

In a heartfelt episode, our host shatters the stereotype of silent strength and advocates for self-care among men. With a mix of wisdom and vulnerability, he encourages fellow masons to seek help within their brotherhood, reminding us that self-love and community support can reshape our journey to personal success and fulfillment.

Key Points
• Society tells men to "tough it up".
• Fear of asking for help can isolate.
• Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.
• Self-care equals asking for help.
• Help others as an act of self-love.
