Does this sound familiar? You've been told to toughen up, suppress your emotions, and conform to societal expectations of masculinity. But deep down, you feel a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction. The pain of trying to fit into an outdated mold and not finding fulfillment is weighing heavily on you. It's time to challenge these ineffective actions and explore a new path towards self-awareness and personal growth.

In this episode, you will be able to:

  • Delve into the transformative power of self-reflection.
  • Grasp how to balance obligations as a contemporary man.
