This Shit Works Breaking Down the “Man Up”Myth and Why Real Men Cry with Jim Young
In today's episode we are tackling one of the most harmful societal constructs that has persisted for generations. And that is telling boys and men that having feelings is girly, that they aren’t allowed to cry and that showing emotions is a sign of weakness.
Listen in as I talk with author Jim Young who’s book Expansive Intimacy: How “Tough Guys” Defeat Burnout, explores the rules of masculinity that force men into a false choice: that choice being either face shame by embracing their inner desires for meaningful connection, or invite burnout by following the harsh rules that require men to shun emotions and emphasize achievement.
