As part of our Dry January series—a month dedicated to breaking format and exploring the unexpected—we bring you a deeply raw and personal episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny. In An Honest Conversation About Masculinity, Trevin shares his intimate essay, My Life as a Little Girl, offering a vulnerable look at his lifelong struggles with societal expectations of manhood. From being labeled as “less than” for enjoying leisure activities to the subtle yet damaging pressures of growing up on a farm, Trevin reflects on how these moments shaped his understanding of masculinity.

But this story isn’t just Trevin’s. In an open conversation with Amanda, the discussion broadens to reveal how these same dynamics play out in families today—even in homes that seem happy and loving. They explore how well-meaning parents can unintentionally reinforce harmful stereotypes, humanizing both sides of the relationship and uncovering the complexities of parent-child connections.

This episode steps away from our usual lighthearted tone to tackle an issue that’s both deeply personal and culturally significant. If you’ve ever questioned the meaning of masculinity, witnessed its impact, or sought to understand how these challenges persist in modern families, this conversation will leave you thinking long after the episode ends. Don't miss this special Dry January installment that’s truly out of the ordinary.
