episode 28 is a love letter to soft masculinity and male vulnerability, especially when it’s shown well in media.

we start by talking about the tv show heated rivalry and why its portrayal of emotionally open, complex men feels so refreshing. from there, we unpack what soft masculinity actually looks like in practice, why it’s still treated as unusual, and how seeing it represented can genuinely shift our expectations in relationships.

we also took a values test with some genuinely surprising results.

it’s a thoughtful, affirming episode about emotional openness, cultural change, and why vulnerability isn’t weakness - it’s the whole point.
