Sure we can set goals for ourselves, but in life, our path may not be laid straight. We may encounter roadblocks of some sort, but we still have to push forward. People won't always fit the vision we have in our heads. Everyone embarks on their own journey and deal with their own adversities. If we learn to live life detached from the outcome we shall live life more abundantly and freely. We will get the most genuine version of people and situations.

Men aren't afforded the space to process and understand their emotions. It's embedded in them at a very young age that men don't cry, or that any display of emotion other than anger, or pretending they don't care at all is weakness. Could something as simple as men learning that affection and going through their emotions doesn't correlate with a lack of strength? Would our world be a little less violent if he knew he could show love and affection to his brother and neighbor without judgment? In this episode, we hope to foster a conversation that helps rid men of the burden of toxic masculinity and give them a safe space to just be them. *The rights of all music belong to the respective artists.
