In this week's mini-episode, I dive into the truth about vulnerability and masculinity—and how men can be emotionally open without losing respect. From hiding emotions to fearing rejection, I break down the real reasons men struggle to express themselves and how this blocks intimacy, connection, and fulfillment. Vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s courageous clarity. And when practiced with integrity, it deepens relationships, builds trust, and strengthens your masculinity—not weakens it.

In this week's mini-episode, I dive into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways men block themselves from embodying healthy masculinity—and how it impacts every area of their relationships. From emotional reactivity and shallow communication to the fear of vulnerability and outdated "alpha male" ideals, I break down the beliefs and behaviors that keep men disconnected—and how to step into depth, leadership, and authentic connection.

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, David Chambers speaks with Professor Ben Hine—psychologist and researcher at the University of West London—about the deep emotional toll family breakdowns have on fathers. From the overlooked role of dads in the family court system to the systemic biases men face during separation and divorce, this episode uncovers the hidden truths about fatherhood, emotional well-being, and societal expectations.

If you're a father, know a father, or work with families, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. We explore mental health, parental alienation, masculinity, child attachment, and the impact of societal and cultural stereotypes on men's lived experiences.

Ben received his BSc and PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London in 2010, focusing on the gender-typing of prosocial behavior in youth. Since 2014 at the University of West London, his work in applied gender and forensic psychology has grown. He has investigated gender in the criminal justice system, including rape myth impact on case progression (with MOPAC), and collaborated with SafeLives and The Mankind Initiative on domestic violence victim needs, including LGBTQIA+ and male survivors. 

More recently, he explores post-separation abuse, particularly Parental Alienation, a professional interest stemming from his own parents' divorce in 2020. This personal experience has led to collaborations with various charities, organizations, and parents, as well as reflective writing on family breakdown, abuse, PA, and family court involvement.
