This episode of The Men’s Mental Health Series is about identity, loss, and learning how to reconnect with who you are when the roles and achievements you once relied on start to change. I talk about why so many men tie their worth to what they do, what they provide, or what they have accomplished, and what happens emotionally when those things shift through injury, career changes, divorce, or major life transitions. We explore how emotions and vulnerability are not weaknesses, why asking for help matters, and how strength can include both traditional ideas of masculinity and emotional awareness at the same time. This conversation is an invitation to start talking with yourself first, then with the people you trust, as you figure out who you are beyond titles and expectations.
