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.

Best Quotes
00:03 - 00:14 • "I'm convinced there's a lot of guys out there that don't love themselves, that are not applying that, that trial to their own behavior and or to themselves as people."
00:29 - 00:37 • "The challenge that comes with that is that when you're genuinely stuck and don't know what to do next, you're now afraid to ask for help."
00:50 - 00:53 • "that you can't be a man, that you can't do the things you need to do."
01:27 - 01:35 • "But understand that caring for yourself means understanding that there's very likely somebody else out there who solved the problem in a much easier way."
02:05 - 02:11 • "Do it as an act of self preservation. If you need, do it as an act of self-love."
02:40 - 02:43 • "I always think, man, that wasn't so bad. I wish I did that years ago."
