Men aren’t wired to ask for help, but the truth is far more complicated than pride or stubbornness. In this episode, Dawson and James break down why so many Generation X dads and men in general struggle to open up about stress, parenting challenges, divorce, dating, mental health, and loneliness. Through honest conversation, humor, and real-life stories, we explore how childhood conditioning, cultural expectations, and the pressure to “be strong” keep men silent even when they’re overwhelmed. We share what really happens inside a man’s mind when he needs support, why vulnerability feels risky, and how asking for help can actually strengthen relationships, fatherhood, and emotional resilience. Whether you’re a man who’s tired of carrying everything alone or a woman trying to understand the male perspective, this video offers clarity, connection, and a reminder that none of us have to do life solo.
