Men often feel as though they have to live up to certain standards in our society. This is what would define their masculinity and while there is nothing inherently wrong with the traits of masculinity, when they are taken to the extreme, that is when they become unhealthy. This week we discuss masculinity and what healthy and unhealthy masculinity looks like.

Pride Month is upon us and this week our hosts explain the history of Pride and help those of us who aren't members of the LGTBQ+ community start to gain an understanding of the different facets of the LGBTQ+ community. We also recognize that, as people who are not members of the LGBTQ+ community, we are not the most equipped to speak on this topic. So this episode is meant as an entry point for those not in that community rather than a deep dive (those episodes with guests will be coming!).
