The Burden of Masculinity: Understanding Men's Struggles


Listen Later

Episode #863

Ever feel like the world is bearing down on you, and it's all on you to carry the load? You're definitely not alone in that. Today's society heaps a ton of expectations on men—be the breadwinner, the protector, stay in shape, be emotionally available—the list goes on. But what happens when it all gets too heavy to carry?

In this episode, we're digging into the challenges men face right now. We'll be discussing a powerful story about a woman who lived as a man for a year, only to find the experience so crushing that it ended tragically. This story serves as a stark reminder of the immense pressure men face, and we're also going to talk about how these rising expectations in relationships, work, and society are leading to increased stress, anxiety, and even suicide among men.

We're bringing in some real heavy-hitters to help us break this down—Mo Parks and Mark Hainsworth. Together, we'll dive into how men can navigate these modern demands, redefine their roles, and find the support they need in a world that too often expects them to be invincible.

So, tune in. You'll learn practical steps to redefine what it means to be a man today and how to tackle these challenges without losing who you are in the process.
