About this listen

In this powerful follow-up to Episode 4, Sage dives deep into the emotional world many men were never taught to explore. Why Men Shut Down: The Silent Side of Emotional Intelligence uncovers the childhood conditioning, unspoken trauma, and relationship breakdowns that lead men to emotionally withdraw — even when they still show up physically.

This episode speaks directly to men who’ve been told to “man up,” and to the women who’ve been left trying to connect with a partner who’s emotionally unavailable.

🎯 Inside this episode:

  • Why emotional shutdown is learned, not weakness

  • Real-world stats on men, emotional health, and suicide

  • How unhealed trauma shows up as silence

  • What your partner and kids feel when you emotionally check out

  • Tools to stop shutting down and start showing up

  • A real listener letter that hits home

  • Reflection prompts that will change how you see yourself

Whether you're a man learning how to reconnect with your emotions, or someone loving a man who goes silent — this episode is for you.
