Episode 8: Redefining Strength: Breaking the Chains of Toxic Masculinity


Listen Later

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses toxic masculinity, emotional suppression, and generational trauma in men of color.

Welcome to This Might Get Heavy, the podcast where we unpack real experiences, hard truths, and the messy but beautiful process of healing.


In this episode, we’re opening up about:

💭 How toxic masculinity shapes emotional expression in Black and Brown communities
🧠 The impact of emotional suppression on mental health, relationships, and self-identity
👨🏾‍🤝‍👨🏽 The generational patterns rooted in survival, racism, and poverty that shaped emotional “toughness”
💬 The fear of therapy, being labeled “soft,” and how that affects connection and vulnerability
💡 How redefining strength through emotional awareness is transforming what it means to be a man. We’re not here to shame, we’re here to start a conversation.
Because emotional expression doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human.
And breaking those generational patterns? That’s real strength.

🎧 Tune in for an open, honest dialogue about healing, brotherhood, and rewriting the narrative for the next generation.
