In Episode 5 of Season 2 of Coffee, Matcha & Soul, Saro Varjabedian, Zair Montes, and Victoria Negri come together for an open, honest conversation about toxic masculinity and the evolving meaning of manhood in today’s world.

The discussion explores how cultural expectations around masculinity—such as emotional suppression, dominance, and rigid definitions of strength—can become harmful, not only to others but to men themselves. Rather than rejecting masculinity, the hosts examine how it can be redefined through self-awareness, vulnerability, responsibility, and emotional honesty.

This episode invites reflection and nuance, encouraging listeners to move beyond stereotypes and extremes toward a healthier, more conscious understanding of what it means to be a man.

A thoughtful, grounded conversation at the intersection of identity, culture, and personal growth.
