Why Do I Feel Weak or Broken for Needing Support? Part 3 – Creating Safe Teams Without Shame


Listen Later

Ever tried to open up, only to feel judged the moment you do?

In Part 3 of this heartfelt series, we dive into one of the most uncomfortable truths for many men (and their wives): vulnerability often feels like weakness—and the minute you expose even a little of your inner self, you feel like someone’s critiquing your very soul.

This episode uncovers the emotional landmines of trying to grow while being watched, and how even well-meaning feedback can crush progress.

We explore:

  • Why most men fear support—even when they crave it

  • How “feedback” can backfire and damage trust

  • What real teamwork looks like between spouses, parents and teens

  • How to model emotional safety before expecting it

  • What it means to “invite” your wife or child into growth without superiority

  • Why reflecting aloud—without correction—can build trust faster than lectures

If you’ve ever tried to be open… only to get met with “why’d you pick that?”—this one’s for you.

You’re not weak for needing support. You’re wise for seeking it—when it's built with trust, not judgment.
