When life gets hard, most men don’t open up.

They shut down.

In this episode, we unpack the coping tools men reach for when the pain feels too much.

Alcohol, overwork, scrolling, porn, gambling...

Not because they’re weak, but because they were never shown how to heal.

We explore:

  • Why numbing feels like relief, but slowly disconnects you from everything
  • How survival mode quietly becomes self-destruction
  • What healthy coping actually looks like
  • And how to start building tools that help you feel again, without falling apart


You don’t need to burn your life down to change it.You just need to stop running from it.

If this hit home, share it with a man who needs to hear it.

Because silence around this stuff?

That’s what keeps us stuck.
