Loneliness is more than just feeling alone—it’s a growing public health crisis that affects men of all ages. In today's episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay sits down with Phil McAuliffe. He is the founder of Humans Connecting. He discusses how the loneliness epidemic is impacting men and what can be done about it.

Phil, a former Australian diplomat, shares his struggle with loneliness abroad. He has a successful career and a family. But, he feels an overwhelming sense of disconnection. “I realized that beyond all the meetings, the job title, and the life I had built, something was missing,” he explains. He came across an article in The Boston Globe about male loneliness. That's when he recognized his struggles. “I thought, ‘This is me. This is exactly what I’m going through.”

Through his organization, Humans Connecting, Phil is now dedicated to helping men. He helps them navigate loneliness by fostering meaningful connections and embracing emotional vulnerability. His approach is rooted in both personal experience and extensive research. This makes his insights invaluable for men struggling with isolation.
