Conversations with Dr. Jennifer

Developing Strength | A Deep Dive on Masculinity


Listen Later

Many men carry inherited messages about masculinity and sexuality that quietly undermine their peace with themselves—and interfere with their ability to show up with strength and clarity in their marriages.

In this powerful conversation with Rhonda Farr, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife challenges those inherited ideas and reframes strength—not as certainty or control—but as the courage to look honestly at yourself. The courage to tolerate feedback, consider your impact, and use discomfort as a catalyst for growth.

This episode also explores how men can navigate vulnerable conversations with greater maturity—especially around painful dynamics like feeling undesired or unchosen in marriage.

Listen to the full episode to learn more about:

  • The difference between immature and mature masculinity

  • Why so many men feel unchosen—and what they can do about it

  • How the need to be seen as good can keep us from actually being good

  • The essential role of discomfort in love, leadership, and growth
