Welcome to the conversation. This is The Men’s Mental Health Series, hosted by Daryl Perry. This podcast is here to help start honest conversations around men’s mental and emotional health, whether that conversation is with friends, family, a partner, or yourself.

In this episode, we talk about strength and why it actually becomes stronger when vulnerability is part of the equation. Many men were taught growing up that emotions and vulnerability were weaknesses. Over time, that message can disconnect you from your thoughts, your feelings, and your relationships. This episode explores how emotional awareness adds to your strength, not takes away from it, and why learning to observe your thoughts and feelings can change how you communicate and show up in your life.

We also talk about the importance of context, why one size fits all advice rarely works, and why real change comes from connecting with yourself at your own pace. This is a grounded conversation for men who are ready to untangle old beliefs, build emotional awareness, and redefine what strength actually looks like.
