Podcasts about healthy masculinity

If you're a man trying to stay strong without turning bitter, you've probably felt the squeeze: get told masculinity is the problem, then get sold a rage-filled “manosphere” solution that makes everything worse. We wanted a smarter third option, so we brought on Bill McCamley, former New Mexico Secretary of Labor, educator, and mental health advocate, to talk through what modern manhood can look like when it's confident, emotionally healthy, and actually connected to other people.We dig into the men's mental health crisis with zero posturing: loneliness, isolation, suicide risk, overdose, and why so many guys are quietly struggling. Bill breaks down how social media platforms profit from conflict, how doomscrolling rewires your stress response, and why losing real-life “reps” talking to people shows up everywhere, from friendships to dating. We also get specific about dating apps, listening better, and why porn is a terrible teacher for real intimacy and consent.Then we go into the weird future that's already here: AI girlfriends, synthetic companionship, and the way parasocial “connection” can deepen the very loneliness it promises to solve. We also hit the underrated basics that change everything, like sleep, plus the rising risks around gambling and sports betting apps. Finally, Bill makes the case for education, apprenticeships, the trades, teaching, and mentorship as practical ways men can rebuild purpose and community.If this conversation gives you language for what you've been feeling, share it with a friend who needs it.

What is the manosphere, and why are young men gravitating towards it?Elliott Hulse has been on YouTube since 2007. With over one billion views across his channels and 2.4 million subscribers, he's been mentoring men longer than most of the manosphere's biggest names have had smartphones. He was filmed for Louis Theroux's Netflix documentary on the manosphere — three hours of footage with his family that was cut to seconds. In this episode, Elliott sits down with Will to break down what the manosphere gets right, where it goes wrong, the propaganda backed into the Netflix documentary,  and what young men actually need.Disclaimer: The views, opinions, and beliefs expressed in this episode are solely those of the guest and do not represent the values, positions, or editorial stance of Men Talking Mindfulness, its hosts, or its affiliates.

Most men were never taught how to be a great father or husband — they were left to figure it out on their own, often repeating the very patterns they swore they'd break. In this episode of the Upgraded Man Podcast, host Chris Anderson sits down with Larry Hagner, founder and CEO of The Dad Edge, who has spent fourteen years building a community and body of work to help men lead their families with intention. Larry opens up about growing up without his biological father, an abusive stepfather, and the night he crossed a line with his own four-year-old son that changed everything. From there, the two dig into the real, teachable skills that separate present fathers and husbands from absent ones. In this conversation, Larry and Chris cover: Why the quality of every relationship lives in the repair, not the harmony or disharmony How to own your mistakes with your kids without losing respect or authority The forgiveness "plant" analogy and why forgive-and-forget doesn't work Leading yourself first (faith and fitness) so you have something to give your family Why your marriage belongs on the front burner, not behind the kids Prioritizing your spouse's three core needs: to be seen, heard, and safe Creating psychological safety so your kids call you at 3 a.m. instead of rolling the dice The three-part communication blueprint: respond vs. react, lead with structure, provide safety Replacing the word "why" with "tell me more" to defuse defensiveness The middle ground between toxic masculinity and the passive "nice guy" Setting and enforcing boundaries as a kind man, not a controlling one Why "there's no such thing as an unconditional relationship" Larry also shares the story of reconnecting with his biological father after eighteen years and the deathbed quote that drives him to leave nothing on the table. Larry Hagner is the founder of The Dad Edge, host of The Dad Edge Podcast, and author of "The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood." Connect with him @thedadedge on Instagram and YouTube.

Dane Sanders watched his best friend Tim Kruger — an Ironman triathlete — die of stomach cancer at 50. Tim's parting insight: "I'm really glad I practiced voluntary discomfort before involuntary discomfort chose me." That single line became the foundation of everything Dane has built since. This is a conversation about mortality, meaning, and why choosing the hard thing is actually the smartest move any man can make.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why the world's default setting is hardship — not comfort — and what changes when you stop treating difficulty as an anomalyHow Tim Kruger's death reshaped Dane's entire understanding of what it means to live fully, not just survive wellThe difference between fitting in and belonging — and why one builds agency while the other quietly hollows you outWhat happens inside the Men and Women of Discomfort 90-day program and why people crash out over creamer in their coffeeHow "microdosing discomfort" prepares you for the storms you can't predict, control, or negotiate out ofWhy Anthony DeMello's warning about sleepwalking through life is the most important thing men aren't taking seriouslyIf you've been waiting for a reason to stop playing it safe, this is the episode.Resources Mentioned:Men and Women of Discomfort (MWOD) — https://mwod.ioThe Last Lecture by Randy Pausch — https://www.amazon.com/Last-Lecture-Randy-Pausch/dp/1401323251Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom — https://www.amazon.com/Tuesdays-Morrie-Mitch-Albom/dp/076790592XAnthony de Mello, "Awareness" — https://www.amazon.com/Awareness-Opportunities-Inner-Anthony-Mello/dp/0385249373Ben Sasse — 60 Minutes interview (terminal brain cancer) — search "Ben Sasse 60 Minutes 2024"CrossFit — https://www.crossfit.comAnnie (93-year-old CrossFit member, Auburn CrossFit) — featured in CrossFit HQ documentary BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

This Father's Day, we're talking about the qualities that make a good dad, and how a healthy approach to masculinity can make a difference in mental health for parent and child .

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible mothers out there. Today's episode is a deeper conversation about the urgent need for stronger, more biblical men and women in our culture, people willing to stand for truth, protect the vulnerable, and refuse to stay silent in the face of evil.We discuss the ongoing outrage surrounding the Epstein files, the lack of accountability for powerful people, and the broader cultural failure to protect victims from wicked and predatory individuals. But this conversation goes beyond headlines. It's about morality, courage, justice, faith, and what happens when societies stop valuing strong families, strong character, and biblical principles.This episode is ultimately about hope too, because evil does not win forever. Real justice matters, truth matters, and good people still have a responsibility to speak up.

Gene sits down with Dr. Scott Padgett to react to Louis Theroux's Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere and the broader question it raises: how did a generation of men end up here? From draft card burners to Andrew Tate subscribers, from counterculture rebels to algorithmic obedience, the manosphere has built a profit-driven pipeline that gives young men easy answers to problems that have existed since the beginning. This conversation covers what the documentary reveals, what it misses, where the manosphere overlaps with legitimate warrior values, and where it collapses into performance, profit, and misogyny. If you've watched the doc and felt conflicted, this is the conversation you need to hear.Send us Fan Mail

Menopause Care, Misinformation, and Advocacy: Nurse Betsy ReturnsAmy Pons welcomes back repeat guest Elizabeth “Nurse Betsy” Kelly, a board-certified adult geriatric primary care nurse practitioner with extensive ICU/ER experience, work with Doctors Without Borders in Ethiopia and Malawi, and 13 years serving nursing home patients at Sinai Chicago. They discuss rapid changes in midlife women's health education and access to menopausal hormone treatment, emphasizing that the 2002 WHI study was widely miscommunicated, fueling fear of breast cancer and leaving many boomer women without treatment. Betsy explains that starting menopausal hormone treatment within 10 years of the last period can be protective, that transdermal estrogen reduces clot risks compared with oral forms, and that care is individualized; she notes FDA-approved indications and the lack of coverage and research for testosterone in women. They also address misinformation, holistic approaches alongside Western medicine, key supplements (magnesium, vitamin D, omega-3, L-methylfolate), and close with advocacy concerns about a 2026 federal student loan rule deeming nursing not a professional degree, restricting access to graduate programs.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:23 Why Womens Health Matters Now02:35 Why Betsy Is Back04:28 WHI Study and Lost Generation07:34 Modern MHT Benefits17:30 MHT vs HRT Explained22:18 Testosterone and Insurance26:42 Healthy Masculinity and Energy33:12 Holistic Care Meets Medicine36:12 Supplements That Help41:52 Avoiding Wellness Snake Oil43:07 Where to Find Betsy44:18 Final Advocacy CallFind Nurse Betsy on Instagram and Facebook @Stay In Your Cortex, and at https://stayinyourcortex.comThank you for tuning in to Women Making Moves, be sure to rate and subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform and follow along on Instagram and Bluesky.

This powerful clip is from episode 353.This microsode is from the incredible talk I had with the team behind the #1 health, fitness, and entertainment podcast, Mind Pump Media: Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafler, and Justin Andrews, to talk about real partnership, trust, and what happens when strong people stop trying to prove themselves and start building something bigger than ego.The conversation moves through uncertainty, decision-making, masculine and feminine energy, fatherhood, leadership, friendship, and the kind of brotherhood that only works when there is respect in the room. What I love most is how these men hold each other: directly, honestly, and with a level of care that is rare.This is an epic conversation about leadership without posturing, strength without ego, and why the right people around you can sharpen you without hardening you.Missed the Full Episode?

This episode invites men to renew their understanding of masculinity—trading worn-out performance for humility, domestic competence, and servant leadership. Through personal stories and clear questions, the host challenges stereotypes that equate strength with silence and shows how everyday acts—cooking, cleaning, showing up—build trust and maturity. Listeners are urged to inspect buried pain, question inherited beliefs, and commit to repeated, practical change: seeking help, communicating honestly, and choosing presence over pride to restore relationships and emotional well-being.

Louis Theroux's Manosphere documentary has got everyone talking - but Jake and Damian think we might be asking the wrong questions. Is shining a light on extreme influencers actually making them more attractive? And is the phrase 'toxic masculinity' doing more harm than good to the young men it's supposed to help?Jake shares research from the Centre for Male Psychology suggesting the term may be damaging to boys, while Damian breaks down why labels drive identity, and why that can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Also this week...The treatment of Liam Rosenior Head coach Johann van Graan's transformation of Bath RugbyLeBron James broke the NBA all-time games played record And Norwich is officially the best place to live in the UK (Jake has thoughts)Heights

This episode is all about what my new concept, The Indestructible Man, is all about and, importantly, what it isn't.I recorded it before I became aware of the term "Manosphere" and watched Louis Theroux's documentary on Netflix, but the intention of the Indestructible Man is to be the antidote society needs to the Manosphere and everything it stands for - creating healthy masculinity for the 21st century.You can see the document summarising what I think an Indestructible Man is by clicking here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hvc3eaZehAwyjESn87xRAWPqh-QDNygu/view?usp=sharingIf the concept resonates with you, you can join my free Indestructible Man community, getting free digital copies of my books among other things, by clicking here: https://theindestructibleman.com/If you're ready to explore how coaching can help you solve the challenges you secretly face in life, watch a 20 minute explanation of how my new and unique system can help you by clicking here: https://theindestructibleman.com/coaching

What does “strength” look like when it's not domination… and not self-erasure either? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore the quieter, steadier kind of masculinity that holds power and compassion in the same hands. This conversation is for men who want to feel grounded instead of reactive—and for anyone navigating relationships where trust, safety, and respect matter. Michael Jaquith breaks down why control shows up when inner foundation is missing, and what it means to return to values without shame when you mess up. About the Guest: Michael Jaquith is a former corporate executive turned entrepreneur and life coach who works with men. He also hosts a podcast and has written a Catholic faith-based book focused on masculinity. Episode Chapters: 00:04:56 – Setting the tone: why this topic matters now 00:08:15 – “Healthy masculinity” as a rock: stable, dependable strength 00:09:26 – The biggest misconception: fear and society's mixed messages 00:11:17 – Where distortions start: wounding, roles, and imbalance 00:13:41 – Control vs foundation: how insecurity leaks into relationships 00:17:18 – The validation trap: “If you're not enough without it…” 00:22:21 – Recalibrating without shame: identity vs actions, self-forgiveness Key Takeaways: Build an internal foundation (values, purpose, “something bigger than you”) before trying to lead. Watch for control as a warning sign: it often shows up when self-control feels shaky. Separate who you are from what you did—accountability without self-hate is maturity. Practice “enduring the storm”: stay steady even when emotions rise around you. If you're chasing validation, pause and ask: “What am I trying to prove—and to whom?” How to Connect With the Guest: Website/Podcast: https://catholiclifecoachformen.com/  Book: Available on Amazon (Catholic faith-based; Audible planned but not yet live) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Why men shut down emotionally isn't about weakness — it's about conditioning. In this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, PhD and former Navy SEAL Commander Mark Divine joins Will Schneider and Jon Macaskill to unpack why men shut down emotionally under pressure, and how real strength is built through awareness — not suppression.As a Navy SEAL leader and founder of Unbeatable Mind, Mark has trained thousands of leaders in mental toughness, emotional discipline, and warrior mindset development. But in this conversation, he goes deeper — into emotional avoidance, masculine identity, and the cost of shutting down in relationships.Why men shut down emotionally often begins in environments where control is survival. Over time, emotional control morphs into emotional suppression. Mark explains the difference — and why suppression quietly erodes connection, intimacy, and leadership clarity.You'll hear:• The difference between emotional mastery and emotional avoidance• How elite SEAL training shaped Mark's understanding of stress and awareness• Why high-performing men confuse shutdown with strength• How breath training regulates nervous system reactivity• What integrated strength looks like in leadership and marriageLearn more from Mark Divine, PhD and former Navy SEAL Commander:Website: https://markdivine.com/Unbeatable Mind: https://unbeatablemind.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdivine/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@markdivineofficialSubscribe to Your Thursday Three Things — practical focus tools connected to each week's episode.Free and deep-dive versions available:https://newsletter.focusnowtraining.comOr text MTM to 33777 and we'll send the link straight to you.Join the Men Talking Mindfulness team at the 2026 Spartan Race and take mindfulness into real-world challenge.

In this intimate and wide-ranging conversation, Myrna sits down with her best friend Shain Jackson for a soulful exploration of love, art, healing, spirituality, and relationship—with all the honesty, laughter, and tenderness that only a lifelong friendship allows.Together, they reflect on how love shapes who we become, how trauma informs our relationships, and how learning to listen—to ourselves, to spirit, and to one another—is an ongoing practice. This episode weaves personal stories with deeper teachings about healing, creativity, and the role of art as a living, breathing expression of spiritual connection.Shain shares the vision behind his Story Booth Project, an initiative dedicated to creating physical recording spaces where Indigenous people can safely share and preserve their stories, teachings, and lived experiences for future generations. Rooted in respect, sovereignty, and cultural continuity, the project is both an act of preservation and a form of resistance.The conversation also touches on Shain's entrepreneurial and community-building work through Spirit Works, as well as his nonprofit Golden Eagle Rising, which centers Indigenous resurgence, creativity, and community care.At its heart, this episode is about love as a teacher—love in friendship, love in art, love in healing, and love as a spiritual force that guides us home to ourselves.This is a conversation for anyone navigating growth, grief, creativity, relationships, and the sacred work of becoming.To see Shain's work: www.spiritworks.ca and www.goldeneaglerising.org

We also discuss the essential role of having a close male community to build confidence and self-esteem. This conversation offers actionable guidance for boys, men and women seeking to build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

In this deeply moving episode of The ManKind Podcast, Brandon sits down with Andrew Newman, author, storyteller, TEDx speaker, and founder of Conscious Stories, to explore how the stories we hear as children shape our emotional lives as adults.Andrew shares why most adult personal development work is really about repairing the first seven years of life and why he chose to focus his life's work on supporting children before those wounds take root. Through storytelling, breathwork, and ritual, Andrew helps parents create emotionally safe, regulated, and connected moments with their kids, especially in the final 20 minutes of the day.This conversation weaves together:The power of bedtime stories as co regulation and emotional repairWhy children internalize belief systems before age sevenHow stories help kids install “I am good” as a core identityThe role of breath and presence in emotional safetyWhy many men struggle with touch, trust, and vulnerabilityHow men relearn safety and belonging through men's workThe long term impact of reading to children consistentlyWhy healing trauma alone is not enough without self expressionHow to follow your spark instead of letting trauma lead your lifeAndrew's upcoming adult work on unhiding yourself and reclaiming voiceAndrew also reads The Hug Who Got Stuck live on the show, demonstrating how storytelling can gently teach emotional regulation, self compassion, and resilience to both children and adults.This episode is for parents, future parents, men doing inner work, and anyone who knows there is a younger version of themselves still longing to be seen, soothed, and encouraged to shine.Andrew Newman adult work and books https://andrewnewman.me BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

“Every man deserves a place to unravel, to be witnessed, and to remember who he is.”In this episode we go straight into the heart of The Gathering of Men, the four-day immersion that has become a fire in the belly of men's work in Australia. 200 men, fathers and sons, elders and young ones, leaders from across the country… all circling up to wrestle, to sing, to drum, to weep, to celebrate, and to remember what it really means to be a man.Jacob shares what fatherhood stripped from him, how it forced him into deeper responsibility, and why suffering through life isn't noble, it's avoidance. He talks about the three pillars of the Gathering… challenge, celebration, and camaraderie, and why without brotherhood, none of it sticks.If you've ever wondered what happens when men are willing to be raw, messy, creative, and real together, this is it.

The term "daddy issues" points to what happens when you don't get healthy fathering. A good father figure provides grounding and stability - like being the kite string that keeps you tethered while you soar. They teach protection through boundaries, not control, and help you learn the difference between genuine care and manipulation. Healthy fathers mirror back your strength and identity, offer direction without forcing their views, and model accountability by showing that strength and vulnerability go together. Their approval is foundational, not conditional - you don't have to earn love through people-pleasing. Eventually, they bless your independence instead of trying to keep you small. When you miss out on this kind of fathering, you can end up defensive, approval-seeking, or struggling with boundaries. The healing work means learning to reparent yourself and give yourself what you didn't get.

Why do so many men stay in unhappy marriages and what happens when they finally walk away?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm sitting down with men's coach Josh Tomeoni to unpack the male perspective on divorce, healing, and healthy masculinity. Josh shares openly about his own divorce experience, how he spiraled before rebuilding, and why he's now helping other men turn their darkest days into their greatest transformation.    This is one of the most honest, compassionate conversations we've ever had on the podcast and even though this show is for women, I promise, hearing a good man reflect on what really goes on behind the scenes will shift how you see dating, co-parenting, and even your own healing journey.   Resources Mentioned: Follow Josh on Instagram and send the word "coach" for a free coaching session to level up after your relationship transition ($500 value): https://www.instagram.com/joshthederelict/ Sign up for my FREE workshop, Social to Sold, to get my #1 client-attraction system proven to generate consistent $1K–$5K months for brand-new coaches: https://products.ambershaw.com/socialtosold Cured Nutrition use code AMBER for 15% off: https://www.curednutrition.com/   What I Discuss: The real reason many men never leave even when they're deeply unhappy Why divorce often hits men harder than they admit The difference between vulnerability and authenticity for men How to support your son (or your ex) in learning healthy masculinity Why "toxic masculinity" isn't the right term and what to say instead What a healed, masculine man actually looks like   Find more from Josh Tomeoni: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshthederelict/   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

Porn, apps, and missing fathers created a male crisis of loneliness. Here, ManTalks podcast host Connor Beaton breaks down the data and offers solutions.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1178What We Discuss with Connor Beaton:Male loneliness epidemic: 15% of men report having no close friends (up from 3% in 1990), and 28% of men aged 18-24 have no close friends. This represents a massive social crisis.Fatherless homes crisis: 43% of US children live without their father. This correlates with 90% of homeless youth, 85% of behavioral disorders, 85% of youth in prison, and 90% of repeat arsonists.Porn addiction epidemic: Starting as young as 9-11 years old, chronic porn use creates desensitization, erectile dysfunction, unrealistic expectations, and replacement of real relationships.Collapse of male spaces: Traditional male-oriented spaces like Boy Scouts have disappeared, leaving young men without mentorship or models for healthy masculinity.Connor Beaton recommends that men spend two nights per week with male friends for optimal mental health. Building real friendships through taking social risks — joining teams, starting conversations — combats loneliness.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
