Best-selling author and self-love advocate Leslie joins me, Avik, for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges the long-standing myths of masculinity and men's mental health. Historical roles have confined men to being seen as stoic defenders and providers, limiting their emotional expression. This episode unpacks the societal and familial pressures that perpetuate these outdated beliefs, and Leslie shares insightful excerpts from her upcoming book, "What Color Is My Shirt?" to illustrate the importance of emotional honesty in men's mental wellness.

We take on the pervasive idea that seeking help equates to weakness, especially for men entrenched in hustle culture. Together, we explore practical strategies for setting boundaries to preserve mental health, drawing from personal experiences. This conversation also brings to light the often-ignored issue of men's body image and the unrealistic standards promoted by media. By confronting these myths, we highlight the importance of focusing on what truly matters and cultivating a balanced, fulfilling life.

Emphasizing self-reflection and self-acceptance, we encourage listeners to embrace what makes them unique, which can help dismantle the myth that men shouldn't show vulnerability. Leslie and I urge listeners to embark on a journey of redefining masculinity through mental health, advocating for small steps toward change. With Leslie's invaluable insights and her impactful books as guides, we aim to redefine strength and understanding as rooted in self-love and emotional wellness. Join us for an empowering discuss
