Tell us what you think

On this episode, I explore the failure of performative masculinity.

Not as confidence or ambition. But as a pattern that looks good on the surface and quietly creates instability that you don’t notice at first.

We examine why many men confuse performance with presence, how competence becomes brittle, validation supplants self-trust, and why “having it together” often unravels the moment the feedback disappears.

I break down how this pattern forms, why it feels productive, and what changes when masculinity stops being something you perform and starts being something you inhabit.

If you’ve ever felt accomplished but strangely ungrounded, praised but not settled, or confident only when someone else is watching, then this episode is for you.

We hope you enjoy this one.
