What if the version of masculinity you’re trying to live up to… was never yours to begin with?

A huge number of men today feel like they’re “not masculine enough”, but when you look deeper, what they really mean is
“I’m not providing enough, not achieving enough, not strong enough… not enough.”

And here’s the painful truth.
Most of those beliefs didn’t come from you.
They came from the man box: the old, rigid rules about what a man should be.

The reel above breaks down something the research shows clearly.

👉🏽 Men who follow the man box feel more purposeful
👉🏽 But they’re also 6.3 times more likely to have had suicidal thoughts in the last two weeks

Because the man box traps you in a brutal cycle.
When you’re performing well, you feel worthy.
When you fall even slightly outside the narrow band… you feel worthless.
Like you don’t deserve support.
Like you don’t deserve to exist.

This week’s episode dives into why this happens, why so many men feel they’re failing at being a man, and what a healthier, more grounded form of masculinity actually looks like.

We explore:

👉🏽 Why approval-based masculinity keeps men stuck
👉🏽 The real cost of tying your worth to providing
👉🏽 How economic pressure fuels shame and mental health struggles
👉🏽 The shift from performance masculinity to embodied, values led masculinity
👉🏽 What healthy masculinity looks like in real relationships and daily life

If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try, this episode will help you understand why… and show you a different path forward.
