We grew up hearing "boys don't cry," but more men are choosing emotional connection — and it’s changing everything. In this episode, men’s group facilitator Jason Lange explains how these spaces help men unlearn emotional suppression and give themselves permission to be vulnerable and simply feel.
We explore how our culture has shaped men's emotional experience, the impact emotional detachment has on the body and relationships, and what healthy masculinity actually looks like. Join us to learn how men are finding healing through presence, connection, and support!
