137 - Dr. Kim Buck, PhD - No Man Should Suffer in Silence

Men rarely talk about what’s going on under the surface. Maybe it’s because society told us to “man up.” Maybe it’s because we never had the tools to put words to how we feel. Either way, most of us have learned to hide our struggles until they become impossible to ignore.

In this episode, I sit down with a Dr. Kim Buck, seasoned mental health professional who has spent 25 years helping others face these unspoken battles — anxiety, depression, isolation, and burnout — and she shares why connection is often the antidote. We explore how to recognize when you’re pushing too hard, the dangers of going it alone, and practical ways to rebuild emotional balance, one honest conversation at a time.

If you’ve ever wondered why it feels so hard to speak up — or you want to help someone who’s quietly going through it — this conversation is a powerful reminder that asking for help is one of the bravest moves you can make.

Key Takeaways

• Why most men struggle to identify and express their emotions
• The surprising signals your body gives when your mental health is off
• How isolation quietly fuels depression, anxiety, and addiction
• Why “toughing it out” usually backfires — and what to do instead
• Practical strategies for creating balance, connection, and resilience
