    412: The Masculinity Crisis No One Is Talking About with Robin Uthappa
    Mar 23 2026
    There’s a side of masculinity that we don’t talk about enough.In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and former international cricketer turned transformational coach, Robin Uthappa. Together, we unpack what’s really happening beneath the surface for so many men today.Because what if the reason men struggle to open up… isn’t what we think? We explore the hidden layers of vulnerability, the roles men feel pressured to play, and why so many people feel disconnected even when they’ve “made it.”If you’ve ever struggled to express your emotions, felt misunderstood in your relationships, or wondered why success doesn’t always equal fulfillment… this one is for you.What you'll get out of this episode… Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s courage in actionThe biggest misconception about men and emotionsWhy emotional safety is the gateway to real connectionHow to begin the process of healingThe importance of sports for children’s developmentWhat happens when work becomes playWhy success doesn’t guarantee happinessConnect with RobbieWEB / https://www.robbieuthappa.com IG / https://www.instagram.com/robinaiyudauthappa YT / https://www.youtube.com/@TheRobbieUthappa This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics🌸 This Women’s History Month, celebrate your circle with the gift of ritual — buy 2 Chai Tonics and get 1 free.

    405: Emotionally Immature People Can't Hear You (Here's How To Talk To Them)
    Feb 11 2026

    Are you constantly navigating conversations where you feel like you’re walking on eggshells? Or maybe you find yourself questioning your reality after talking to someone who can't seem to take accountability, ever?

    In this episode, I dive into the uncomfortable (but necessary) topic of how to talk to emotionally immature people — whether it’s a partner, parent, friend, or colleague.

    Through the lens of personal growth, communication skills, and emotional intelligence, I’ll walk you through what emotional immaturity really looks like, how to protect your peace without cutting everyone off, and powerful ways to respond without abandoning yourself.


    What you'll get out of this episode…

    • Why emotional immaturity is so triggering

    • Brave phrases to set boundaries from a grounded place

    • The power of walking away (without guilt)

    • Why you don’t have to win the argument

    • How to hold space without abandoning your truth
