Series: Unmasking Manhood

What if everything you’ve been told about being a man—dominate, suppress, compete—was a lie that’s slowly killing us? In Part 2 of the series is the episode, Eric Miller rips off the “alpha” mask and expose the emotional toll of toxic masculinity: isolation, addiction, failed relationships, and rising suicide rates.

But this episode isn’t just about tearing it down—it’s about building something better. Eric introduces a research-backed alternative: brotherhood. Real male friendships. Emotional safety. Accountability without shame.

Studies show men who conform to stoic masculine norms are 2.4x more likely to experience depression and 3.5x less likely to seek help. But peer support groups—like men’s circles or recovery spaces—are proven to reduce isolation and improve mental health.

From personal stories to proven strategies, Episode 10 delivers a powerful message: connection isn’t weakness—it’s the real strength.

You’ll leave with:

• A new definition of men’s strength

• Practical steps to build brotherhood

• A call to action: speak up, reach out, and show up for each other
