About this listen

Every man carries it.

The quiet pressure to stay strong, provide without complaint, and perform an image that was never fully his. In this episode, we open the door to a conversation many never had—with the honesty of two generations sitting across from each other, asking where the pressure began... and what it’s still costing us.

From the early moments of “be a man” to the emotional toll of trying to live up to a version of masculinity no one explained—we explore fatherhood, survival, identity, and the unspoken rules men inherit. With space for disagreement, reflection, and a few unexpected pop culture mirrors, this episode peels back the performance and asks what’s underneath.

Because between generations… between performances… There’s a truth we’ve been carrying too long.

And between storms—there’s finally space to put it down.
