vulnerable men

This week we talk with actor and author Justin Baldoni about his new book Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity. We discuss the origins of limiting masculine stereotypes, the generational trauma around suppressing emotions that men inherit, and why embracing vulnerability is true strength. Justin shares his personal journey questioning the man box and advocates for redefining old-fashioned ideas of masculinity that often leave men feeling inadequate. We discuss practical ways men can open up and reconnect to their emotions and full humanity without feeling “unmanly.”

Bulleted list of 10 topics discussed:

• Struggling to fit into society's rigid male gender roles
• Absorbing harmful messaging about masculinity from a young age
• The costs of men disconnecting from their emotions
• Learning to embrace vulnerability as a non-traditional strength
• Generational trauma around masculinity and not expressing feelings
• Toxic vs healthy masculine behaviors and mindsets
• Women's conflicting perceptions of masculinity
• Becoming who we are, not who society expects
• Moving from shame to self-acceptance
• Expanding narrow definitions of masculinity

Having been on his own journey from a masked man drawn to "toxic" behaviours, to an awakened & open soul, his story is deeply authentic & relatable. He is now seen as pioneering a revolution to encourage society (& men in particular) to open up & connect more with their emotions in a powerful & liberating way.

Here are some of the questions we discussed in this interview:

• Why is it more important than ever that men in particular, tap into their vulnerability?
• How do you help people, and men in particular, to tap into their heart center?
• When we become more vulnerable, what happens in our body, mind, and spirit?
• What changes are you noticing in the world regarding balancing masculine and feminine energy?
• How can men benefit from embracing their own empowered feminine energy?
