    Joseph equips you with a 5-step Grown Man Clarity Plan to stop spinning your wheels, align your thoughts with your actions, and start moving with power and purpose by Monday morning.

    If you’ve been paralyzed by fear or wrecked by impulse—this episode will show you how to rise above both and step into disciplined, strategic manhood.

    Episode Title: Women Are Not Your Therapy—Build a Support System
    Podcast: Grown Man University

    Description:
    Fellas, let’s get real. Too many young men are making the mistake of turning their girlfriends, hookups, or wives into their therapists. In this episode of Grown Man University, host Joseph Perkins unpacks the hard truth: your trauma, your healing, and your growth are your responsibility—not hers.

    Drawing from scripture, real-life examples, and practical steps, this episode teaches why women can support you but can’t sustain you, and why building a masculine support system is critical for your manhood. You’ll learn:

    • Why using women as your therapy damages both you and her.
    • The difference between emotional dependency and emotional maturity.
    • How great men like LeBron James thrived with brotherhood, while others struggled without it.
