Wellness Check Wednesday Podcast | Episode 69: "The Pressure to 'Man Up': Toxic Masculinity's Effect on Mental Health"
“Man up.” “Don’t cry.” “Be strong.”
These phrases may seem harmless, but they reinforce a culture that discourages emotional vulnerability—especially among men. In this powerful episode, we explore how toxic masculinity affects mental health by promoting emotional suppression, isolation, and unrealistic standards of strength.
We dive into the psychological toll of these harmful norms, and how redefining masculinity can lead to healthier, more authentic lives. This conversation isn’t just for men—it’s for anyone who wants to challenge stigma, support mental health, and create space for more open, human connection.
✨ Highlights from this episode:
What toxic masculinity is and how it shows up in daily life
The mental health consequences of emotional suppression
Encouraging vulnerability, connection, and healing
How all genders can help dismantle harmful narratives
Let’s break the cycle—and build something better.
