Podcasts about men's health

Wann entscheidet sich ein Mann für - und wann gegen Kinder? Und was macht das mit seinem Selbstbild? Diesen Fragen ist die Sozialwissenschaftlerin Prof. Dr. Claudia Rahnfeld von der Dualen Hochschule Gera-Eisenach in ihrer empirischen Untersuchung „Männer, Männlichkeit und (eigene) Kinder“ nachgegangen. Welche Antworten sie gefunden hat, verrät sie in dieser Podcastfolge. Im Interview mit den beiden ECHTEN PAPAS Marco (www.MensHealth.de/dad) und Florian (www.HerrSchleinig.de) erzählt Claudia, warum sich die Wissenschaft bisher nicht für Väter als Forschungsobjekt interessiert hat, welche Faktoren ausschlagegebend sind bei einem männlichen Kinderwunsch, weshalb viele Väter immer noch in der Ernährerrolle zurückfallen und wann Maternal Gatekeeping auch positive Seiten hat. Zusätzlich gibt es natürlich auch dieses Mal wieder einen neuen Song auf der Spotify-Playlist der ECHTEN PAPAS: https://spoti.fi/2Zutj4H, natürlich ausgesucht von Claudia. Am besten die Spotify-Playlist gleich downloaden, anhören und abonnieren wie auch den Podcast selbst. Und für alle Mamas, die hier mithören, noch ein Podcast-Tipp: Hört auch mal in den Podcast @echtemamas.ehrlichgesagt rein, vor allem in die aktuelle Folge mit Fanny Husten. Ihr habt Feedback?

Using Self-Compassion With The Enneagram (Part 2) Last time, we explored Enneagram types One through Four—seeing how each carries its own beauty, struggle, and path toward compassion. Today, we pick up where we left off. So often, we hear messages about what we should fix or change. But the real invitation of the Enneagram is to see the truth of how we're wired and to treat that truth with kindness. It's not about boxing you in—it's about showing you the patterns you've been living out, and then inviting you back home to your truest self. As Ian Morgan Cron reminds us, “The Enneagram doesn't tell you who you are; it tells you who you think you have to be.” That's the gift—it reveals the mask we've learned to wear, and then it helps us lay it down. In this episode, we're continuing our walk through the remaining Enneagram types, not to critique but to celebrate. To honor. To offer compassion to the parts of ourselves we often overlook. And once again, we're joined by AMG coach and life coach Stephen Nichols, who has guided countless men in this very work.   TYPE 5 – THE INVESTIGATOR Ian Cron describes Fives as the wise men—those who see the world from a thoughtful distance, cutting through noise with insight. You have a brilliant, thoughtful mind that sees what others miss. Your ability to observe, analyze, and understand is a deep well of insight. You're naturally drawn to complex ideas, systems, and inner landscapes most people overlook. Your curiosity runs deep, and your insights are often ahead of their time. You bring calm clarity to chaos, offering wisdom without needing the spotlight.   Though you may prefer solitude, your presence carries quiet weight and depth. Self-compassion reminds you that you don't have to have all the answers to belong—your presence, your wisdom, and your way of seeing the world already matter. Self-compassion for Type 5 sounds like: “My curiosity is a gift. I don't need to know everything to be whole.”  “I offer wisdom, and I also deserve connection.” “It's okay to not have all the answers right now.” “My presence is enough—I don't need to over-prepare.” “Opening up is a strength, not a liability.” You make space for insight and truth. Your presence invites calm and clarity.     TYPE 6 – THE LOYALIST Your loyalty and courage are unmatched—you stand by your people through thick and thin. You think through every angle with care, always scanning for how to keep others safe and supported. Your fierce sense of responsibility drives you to prepare, protect, and prevent harm. You often see potential problems before they happen, and your questions strengthen decisions and relationships. Suzanne Stabile calls Sixes the guardians of community—reliable, grounded, and deeply attuned to group wellbeing. You hold steady when others panic, anchoring people with your presence and conviction. Your love shows up not in loud declarations, but in quiet vigilance and fierce, faithful commitment. When you extend that same loyalty inward, you become a source of wisdom and grounded courage—not just for others, but for yourself. Self-compassion for Type 6 sounds like: “My ability to anticipate is protective, not paranoid.”  “I trust myself to navigate uncertainty.” “Uncertainty is uncomfortable, but I can handle it.” “I trust myself to navigate what comes.” “Courage isn't the absence of fear—it's standing with myself in the fear.” You bring steadiness, humility, and fierce commitment wherever you go.     TYPE 7 – THE ENTHUSIAST You see the possibility in everything and bring life to the spaces you enter. Your joy is contagious, and your energy lights up the room. You're often the one who finds silver linings, who lightens tension with humor, and reminds others to savor life. You have a natural gift for storytelling, optimism, and enthusiasm that draws people in and lifts spirits. Ian Cron reminds us that Sevens teach us not to take life for granted—but to taste, savor, and adventure. Your soul is wired for wonder, and beneath your lightness is a deep, brave heart. When you stay present in discomfort, you show true courage—not escape, but engagement. Self-compassion deepens your spark. You discover that real freedom comes from living fully—joy and sorrow alike. Self-compassion for Type 7 sounds like: “My zest for life is sacred. I can experience joy and still make space for depth.”  “I don't need to escape. This moment is enough.” “I can sit with hard feelings—they won't break me.” “Slowing down helps me find deeper joy.”   You remind others that life is worth living fully, and that pain doesn't cancel out joy—it enriches it.     TYPE 8 – THE CHALLENGER You are bold, strong, and protective—you step in when others shrink back. You fight for what matters and speak truth with intensity and clarity. Your presence commands attention—not for ego, but because people feel your deep commitment to what's right. You instinctively protect the vulnerable and challenge injustice wherever it appears. Suzanne Stabile calls Eights the protectors and justice-bearers—often misunderstood, but driven by love and loyalty. Beneath your strength is a tender heart that longs for honesty, trust, and connection. When you let yourself soften and be known, your power doesn't weaken—it becomes magnetic, trustworthy, and whole. Self-compassion allows your heart to breathe so your strength can serve others without burning you out. Self-compassion for Type 8 sounds like: “My strength includes tenderness.”  “I can lead with power and still stay soft-hearted.” “Letting others in doesn't make me weak.” “Real strength includes openness.” “I can be protective and still allow myself to feel.” You give others courage just by being who you are. You model strength that protects and includes.     TYPE 9 – THE PEACEMAKER You have a calming presence that brings ease and steadiness to those around you. You instinctively see all sides and create harmony in spaces that feel divided. You are a steady presence in a loud, chaotic world—helping others breathe easier just by being near. You create room for others without needing the spotlight, offering quiet empathy and deep listening. Your non-reactivity and gentleness give others permission to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Ian Cron says Nines are the mediators of the soul—deeply attuned to what brings people together. Though you may downplay your impact, your quiet strength and inclusive spirit often hold entire communities together. Self-compassion invites you to include yourself in the peace you offer others. Your voice matters. Your presence is not just peaceful—it's powerful. Self-compassion for Type 9 sounds like: “My presence brings peace, and my voice matters too.”  “I can honor others and still choose myself.” “My voice matters.” “I don't have to disappear to keep the peace.” “Choosing myself isn't selfish—it's necessary.” You teach us how to slow down, to listen, and to find unity in difference.     CLOSING No matter where you land on the Enneagram, you bring something good and true into the world. You don't need to change who you are—you need to honor it. Self-compassion is how you do that. It's not about self-indulgence. It's about self-acceptance. The Enneagram isn't a problem to fix. It's a mirror that shows your natural design—and the gifts you carry. As Stabile reminds us, the goal isn't to be better than your number—it's to be a healthier version of the one you already are. So take this with you: You are already enough. Not someday. Not when you get it right. Now. We'll drop a free link to the AMG Assessment in the notes so you can find out your type. Bring what resonated into your next AMG group, or share it with a friend who needs to hear it. You were made to thrive—and the best way to do that is by being fully, authentically you.

In this episode of Guy Shrink, host Bill Roman discusses retirement's challenges with guest Joe Gerhardinger, a retired math and astronomy teacher from an all-girls Catholic school in Toledo, Ohio. After 25+ fulfilling years, including teaching his own daughters, Joe chose to "graduate" alongside his youngest child, recognizing he'd peaked and sought new adventures. He faces the "double whammy" of retiring amid becoming an empty nester, which leads to sleepless nights filled with questions about purpose, potential, and whether he's squandering opportunities. Joe tried handyman work, school scheduling gigs, and subbing—but realized teaching was behind him, emphasizing self-reflection and avoiding job-defined identity. Drawing from astronomy's "averted vision," Joe advises patience in seeking meaning without chasing "passion" or constant rapture; instead, aim for rapport with the world and a sense of responsibility. References to Viktor Frankl, Stephen Covey, and John Updike enrich the talk on redefining fulfillment. Perfect for those navigating career shifts or empty nests—listen for wisdom on embracing the journey. Connect with the Guy Shrink Podcast across all platforms here: https://linktr.ee/guyshrink

Are you considering a vasectomy but find yourself concerned about the possibility of future regret? You're not alone. In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Joe Pazona, a board-certified urologist who has performed over 4,000 vasectomies, delves into the top four reasons men experience regret after the procedure and, more importantly, how you can prevent them. Dr. Pazona addresses the most common fears and myths surrounding vasectomies with both humor and expert medical advice. Discover why factors like your age and readiness at the time of the procedure are so critical. The episode also explores the significant impact that new relationships can have on the decision, with studies showing that 94% of men who regret their vasectomy entered a new relationship after the procedure. This comprehensive discussion also tackles the fear of pain during and after the procedure, explaining the benefits of the modern no-scalpel technique, which leads to less discomfort and a quicker recovery. Furthermore, the episode debunks the myth that a vasectomy will negatively affect your sex life. In fact, many men report a more spontaneous and worry-free sex life after the procedure. For those contemplating this life-changing decision, Dr. Pazona provides a "regret-proof" checklist to help you make a confident and informed choice. This includes considering your relationship status, your potential life circumstances in the next decade, and even backup plans like sperm banking. 

What if the root of many problems faced by middle-aged men - burnout, broken relationships, anxiety, aggression - stemmed from something hiding in plain sight: entitlement and narcissism? In this fascinating conversation, psychologist and Dean of the University of Wollengong in Australia, Simon Moss explains why our culture's emphasis on status, dominance, and self-importance might be making us miserable, and what we can do about it. Drawing on decades of research, Simon introduces his new project, RadicalHumility.com, and shares practical strategies to reduce narcissism, build resilience, and embrace humility, not as weakness, but as a superpowerfor better relationships, leadership, and mental health. What you'll learn: What humility really is (and why it's often mistaken for weakness)The surprising link between narcissism and burnout, anxiety, and domestic abuseHow humble men are actually more confident, credible, and respectedWhy humility improves emotional resilience and relationshipsHow societal uncertainty drives narcissistic behaviour and how to resist itEveryday signs of narcissism in yourself or others and how to spot themWhy humility is essential in the AI-driven, uncertain world we now live inHow partners, friends, and colleagues can support men stuck in patterns of entitlementA simple 3-step method to practice and cultivate lasting humilityThis episode isn't about blame. It's about awareness, growth, and changing the narrative. Whether you're struggling with control, frustration, or just feel something's off, this episode offers a way forward.If you want to find out more about Simon's movement to nullify narcissism and end entitlement, visit his website: https://radical-humility.com/ where you'll find lots of information, including freely available videos and other useful content. 

In this powerful Part II conversation, I welcome back Matt Castle to dive deep into the unspoken struggles and potential of modern men. We unpack the layers of trauma, emotional numbness, and programming that keep men stuck in cycles of fear, suppression, and dysfunction — and how this impacts not only men's health but also their relationships, their purpose, and their ability to lead.We explore the concept of “dangerous men” — not criminals, but men who are disconnected, toxic, and living far below their potential — and how to guide these men back to presence, responsibility, and power. We also tackle the complex dynamics between masculine and feminine polarity, the importance of emotional safety, and how fear and cultural conditioning are sabotaging intimacy, connection, and trust between men and women.This episode is an honest, raw, and transformative look at how we can reclaim healthy masculine leadership, create deeper relationships, and move out of survival mode before we hit a crisis point.If you're ready to break free from old patterns and step into your potential as a man — or better understand the masculine journey as a woman — this one's for you.RESOURCES: Part I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izgJniAABDYPart I Audio: https://open.spotify.com/episode/60Hmu3Wwy4HbLCzCUUh49p?si=f5b90eeaa0984719Documentary: Burden & Baggage.

Using Self-Compassion With The Enneagram We often hear messages about what we need to fix or change. But what if the real invitation is to see and celebrate the unique way we're wired?  What if our greatest strength is learning how to show up with kindness to the exact story we're living? The Enneagram isn't about putting you in a box—it's about helping you see the unique beauty of your wiring and how to live it out with grace. Ian Morgan Cron says, “The Enneagram doesn't tell you who you are; it tells you who you think you have to be.” And in doing so, it also gently invites you back to your true self. The Enneagram helps us become more present to ourselves and others—not more perfect. Today, we're walking through all 9 Enneagram types, not to critique, but to honor. To celebrate. To invite a more compassionate relationship with the parts of us we often overlook. And we're joined by AMG coach and life coach Stephen Nichols, who has walked with countless men through this work.     TYPE 1 – THE REFORMER You bring a deep sense of integrity and justice to the world. You have an inner compass that naturally points to truth, fairness, and doing what's right—even when it's hard. Your drive to improve things is powerful and needed, especially in a world that often accepts “good enough.” You instinctively see how systems, people, and environments could be better—and you work to close the gap. Ian Morgan Cron notes that Type 1s often have a clear vision of how things should be—and that clarity is a gift to the world. When your idealism is paired with self-compassion, it becomes principled leadership and courageous accountability. Your high standards aren't a burden—they're part of the goodness you bring. But remember: you're not here to fix everything. You're here to live with integrity, and that begins with how you treat yourself. Self-compassion for Type 1 sounds like: “My desire to do good is a strength. I can lead with grace as well as discipline.”  “I bring structure and clarity, and I'm still worthy even when things aren't perfect.” “I don't have to be perfect to be worthy of love and respect.” “I am a good man and still make mistakes. “Discipline and grace can coexist within me.”   You create order in chaos. And in your presence, others feel safe and steady.     TYPE 2 – THE HELPER Your heart is immense—you notice needs others miss and offer love without needing a reason. You're the one who shows up when others forget, who remembers birthdays, who brings soup, who notices when someone looks tired or off. Your attention is love in action, quietly and powerfully felt. As Suzanne Stabile teaches, Type 2s are often the emotional backbone of their communities—offering connection, hospitality, and empathy that binds people together. Your strength lies in your ability to feel what others feel and respond with genuine warmth and care. When you turn that same compassion toward yourself, you become even more powerful—grounded, resilient, and rooted in love that flows both ways. Your worth isn't based on what you give—it's in who you are, even when your hands are empty. Self-compassion for Type 2 sounds like: “My ability to care is a gift, and I'm allowed to receive care too.”  “I am deeply lovable, not for what I do—but for who I am.” “My needs matter just as much as anyone else's.” “I am loved for who I am, not just what I do.” “It's okay to say no and still be a good man.” You bring warmth, connection, and generosity to the spaces you enter. That's real power.     TYPE 3 – THE ACHIEVER You carry a fire to move things forward with clarity, confidence, and bold vision. You're driven, goal-oriented, and instinctively know how to get things done. You have a gift for reading a room, adapting quickly, and casting a vision that rallies people into action. You bring direction and momentum to teams, relationships, and projects. Ian Cron notes that Threes are the most adaptable and inspiring performers—able to shift and lead with excellence. Beneath the drive is a tender, human need to be loved for who you are—not just for what you do. When you slow down and reconnect with your deeper self, you find that your worth was never tied to performance. Your true strength includes your ability to be authentic, vulnerable, and present—not just polished and productive. Self-compassion for Type 3 sounds like: “My drive is beautiful—and I don't have to earn my worth.”  “I'm valuable, even when I'm resting.” “Even when I slow down, I'm still enough.” “I am valuable beyond what I accomplish.” “Failure doesn't define me—how I treat myself does.” You inspire others to dream bigger, act bolder, and believe in what's possible.     TYPE 4 – THE INDIVIDUALIST You feel the depth and complexity of life in a way most people never touch. Your creativity and sensitivity give voice to the human experience in its rawest, most beautiful forms. You notice subtle layers of emotion, longing, and beauty that others often overlook or rush past. Suzanne Stabile calls Fours the torchbearers of emotional truth—willing to feel what others avoid. You remind the world that feeling deeply is not weakness—it's wisdom, strength, and sacred insight. Your presence brings permission for others to be real, to feel, and to show up authentically. When you practice self-compassion, you become a beacon of honesty, healing, and depth. You teach us all that emotional honesty isn't just allowed—it's necessary for true connection. Self-compassion for Type 4 sounds like: “My emotions are not a flaw—they're my superpower.”  “I bring beauty and meaning to the world just by being me.” “My emotions are valid, and I'm not broken.” “I can be unique and still connected to others.” “Pain doesn't isolate me—it unites me with humanity.” You help others feel seen, understood, and reminded that they're not alone in their longing.   CLOSING No matter where you land on the Enneagram, you bring something good and true into the world. You don't need to change who you are—you need to honor it. Self-compassion is how you do that. It's not about self-indulgence. It's about self-acceptance. The Enneagram isn't a problem to fix. It's a mirror that shows your natural design—and the gifts you carry. As Stabile reminds us, the goal isn't to be better than your number—it's to be a healthier version of the one you already are. So take this with you: You are already enough. Not someday. Not when you get it right. Now. We'll drop a free link to the AMG Assessment in the notes so you can find out your type. Bring what resonated into your next AMG group, or share it with a friend who needs to hear it. You were made to thrive—and the best way to do that is by being fully, authentically you.

In this week's show, Lian is joined by Karl Brooks, a long-term Be Mythical student and a much-loved member of our community within UNIO, whose journey from crisis to reclamation has been one of the most beautiful we've had the honour to witness. Karl has a deep connection with his inner child, who unbeknownst to him had been running most of his life behind the scenes, in his subconscious!  When he began to make the unconscious, conscious, and start asking what his inner child wanted - to feel safe, see, held, respected, loved, all from an unconditional place, he found he held the key too, and no one else could fulfil the void that was ‘Karl-shaped'.  He now wants to lead other men that are interested in connecting deeply within themselves, and breaking the patterns of childhood that are still causing havoc in their lives today. In this conversation, Lian and Karl explore the hidden stories that shape our sense of self, and the deep healing that becomes possible when we finally listen to the boy inside the man. Together, they journey through Karl's childhood adventures, his breakdown and awakening, and the tender work of inner reparenting that allowed him to become a man of depth, devotion, and strength. Through rich storytelling and honest reflection, this conversation reveals the generational threads that shape our beliefs about masculinity, love, and identity… and how those threads can be rewoven. Mythic threads weave through the episode: the wounded boy whose gifts were misunderstood, the ruptures passed from father to son, and the healing that happens when those wounds are no longer hidden. This is a conversation for anyone - man or woman - who senses that something essential got lost along the way… and is ready to listen for its return. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Childhood experiences create the inner myths we unconsciously live by, until a rupture or opening invites us to rewrite them. Imagination, when turned inward upon ourselves, can distort our self-perception… or become a tool for healing and reconnection. Healing the inner child allows us to close the ruptures of the past, creating more wholeness in our relationships, our parenting, and our sense of self.

In this episode of the HVAC Uncensored Podcast, Gil discusses men's mental health, as June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. This is a personal topic for Gil. He dives deeper into the important issue of men's mental health, especially since June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Gil opens up about his own struggles with mental health, sharing insights from his experiences that have shaped his understanding and approach over the years. He gets vulnerable in the hopes that it helps someone else. Throughout the episode, he talks about the various stigmas and stereotypes men often face when dealing with mental health issues, highlighting how societal expectations can sometimes prevent men from seeking help. Additionally, Gil explores several practical strategies that have helped him personally and have benefited others in similar situations.
