Permission to Cry: Emotions and the Modern Man
For years, men have been told to "man up" and hold it in. But why? In this episode, Marcel and Daniel dive into the stigma around men crying, where it comes from, and why it’s time to let it go—literally. From childhood lessons about toughness to the science behind why crying is actually good for you, we’re breaking down what it really means to be strong.
🗣️ Topics We Cover:
Why men are told not to cry—and why that’s outdated

The paradox of vulnerability: Why we admire it in others but avoid it ourselves
How repressed emotions affect mental and physical health
Redefining “man up” for a new generation
