In this episode, we confront the question: is it okay for men to cry? Reflecting on our personal experiences, societal norms, and cultural backgrounds, we explore the impact of emotional expression in men’s lives. From stories of grief to the way the media portrays men’s emotions, we dive into how being open with our feelings can shape family dynamics and mental health. Together, we challenge traditional ideas of masculinity and vulnerability. Join us as we delve into the healing power of emotions, the value of meaningful content, and the strength that comes from showing vulnerability.
