Episode 10: I Called It Love

Man Enough sounds like a podcast about growth, strength, and becoming better, but it isn’t. This series is a confession told from the moment harm can no longer be denied. Each episode walks backward through domestic violence, emotional abuse, gaslighting, coercive control, masculinity, sexual repression as a gay man, and fear, tracing how harm formed, hardened, and persisted until it reaches the first day harm became possible. This is not a redemption story, so don&#39;t expect to find inspiration, healing arcs, or closure. But if you’re looking for honesty without absolution, start here.
