In this conversation, Brandon Clift and Silvy Khoucasian discuss the challenges men face in opening up and being vulnerable in relationships. They explore the societal conditioning that discourages men from expressing their emotions and the double bind they often face.

They also discuss the importance of finding safe spaces and supportive individuals who value vulnerability. The conversation touches on the distinction between transparency and vulnerability, the role of boundaries in healthy vulnerability, and the impact of social media on sharing personal struggles. The conversation explores the importance of setting boundaries and earning access to deep relationships.

It emphasizes the need for vulnerability to happen on both sides of a relationship and the importance of acknowledging and celebrating vulnerability. The hosts discuss strategies for effective communication in relationships, such as designated sharing times and clear communication of needs. They also address the challenges of being in the relationship space while navigating personal struggles and the pressure of being seen as a role model.

The conversation concludes with a discussion on the power of vulnerability and the impact it can have on building genuine connections.
