How to be a 'Real' Man (w/ Nikhil Taneja)

This episode is for every man who’s ever been told to “man up.”I sat down with writer and mental health advocate Nikhil Taneja to talk about something we don’t talk about enough: how the patriarchy is hurting men too!

From emotional repression to performative masculinity, we unpack how outdated ideas of manhood are leaving so many men feeling lost, disconnected, and alone... and what real strength and healing actually look like.

We cover:
-Why vulnerability is a superpower
-What healthy masculinity really looks like
-How pop culture has failed our boys
-And why men need safe spaces just as much as women do

Share this conversation with every boy and man you care about!
