In a world where men are expected to be unbreakable, many are quietly falling apart. This episode of the Built Resilient Podcast explores the hidden mental health crisis in men, and offers a powerful blueprint for modern masculinity that combines strength, vulnerability, and purpose.

Your host, Motivational Speaker Bart Walsh has seen it firsthand: men are struggling emotionally. We’ve mastered success in careers and families but lost connection with our inner world. Too often, we equate silence with strength and suppression with self-control. It’s time to evolve. It’s time to redefine what it means to be a man in 2025.

This episode isn’t just theory, it’s a practical guide for men ready to reclaim their emotional and mental strength. You’ll learn how to develop emotional intelligence, deepen your relationships, and lead yourself (and others) with authenticity and purpose.

• Learn how to own your reality and face your emotions with courage
• Build an emotional vocabulary to express yourself honestly
• Discover the strength of brotherhood and community
• Embrace radical responsibility for your life and choices
• Find meaning and confidence through service to others

This is a self-development roadmap for men who want to grow, not by hiding their pain, but by transforming it. Whether you’re feeling lost, disconnected, or simply ready to level up as a man, this episode will help you step into your authentic power.

Join Bart as he challenges outdated stereotypes, redefines strength, and builds a new model of masculinity. One grounded in emotional resilience, purpose, and self-awareness. It’s time to rise as a stronger, wiser, and more connected man.

How does chronic stress affect our health? How can we find peace, calm and stillness in our life?

In our fast-paced world, stress has become an unwelcome companion, quietly shaping our lives in ways we often overlook. This episode of Built Resilient Motivational Speaker Bart Walsh pulls back the curtain on chronic stress, revealing its hidden impacts and offering practical strategies to reclaim your nervous system.

Bart dives deep into the crucial differences between acute and chronic stress. We explore how our bodies, designed for short bursts of fight-or-flight responses, struggle with the constant low-level anxiety of modern life. This mismatch between our evolutionary biology and current lifestyle lies at the heart of many health challenges.

Chronic stress doesn't just make us feel uncomfortable, it reshapes our biology. We examine how elevated cortisol levels can:

• Break down muscle protein
• Contribute to abdominal fat storage
• Disrupt sleep quality
• Impact brain function and memory

For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, Bart explains why stress can derail your progress, making workouts feel harder and slowing recovery.

While we can't eliminate stress entirely, we can learn to regulate our nervous system. Bart shares four key strategies:

• Move like a human, not just an athlete: The power of low-intensity, consistent movement
• Close your loops: A simple yet effective technique to signal safety to your brain
• Breathe intentionally: Using breath as the remote control for your nervous system
• Redefine downtime: Creating true recovery in a distraction-filled world

This episode challenges you to shift your focus from quick fixes to daily practices that build resilience. We explore the concept of "micro-recoveries" and how to anchor stress-reducing habits into meaningful rituals.

By understanding the intricate dance between stress, your nervous system, and your physical goals, you'll be equipped to not just survive challenging times, but to thrive in them.
