In this episode, my guest is Dr. Jett Stone, clinical psychologist and author of Quiet Your Mind: A Men's Guide. We explore the struggles many men face in today’s world—alienation, confusion, and lack of footing—and how to navigate this modern world with more meaning, purpose, confidence, and connection.

We discuss:

Masculinity and femininity
Marriage, dating, and parenthood
Work—both paid and unpaid, including domestic labor
Community and friends
Challenges for women and couples
Overthinking and practical tools to overcome it

Actionable tools for men living in the modern world:

Journaling, writing, and finding the right language
Mentorship, social infrastructure, and third places
Joining clubs, leagues, or churches
Getting out of the house and putting in effort
Slowing down, listening to classical music
Embracing exercise and movement
Experimenting, taking small risks, and shifting perspective
Seeking curiosity and awe
Defining your values and constructing your own masculine code

Whether you're feeling lost, confused, or alone, this conversation offers practical insights to help you build a more meaningful, purpose-filled, and connected life.
