Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, challenge societal norms, and work towards promoting a safer world? Join us and our special guest, Jeff Perera, a renowned speaker and writer who is a strong voice in addressing manhood and gender-based violence. Together, we cut through the noise to understand what it means to be a male ally and why it's critical to translate those words into tangible action.
Our discussion takes a deep dive into the impact of traditional masculinity on our young boys and men, and the ripple effect it has on society. We break down how societal expectations encourage boys to suppress their emotions and foster dominance, leading to potential harmful behaviors. We also discuss Kanye West and Andrew Tate in our examination of the influence of pop culture on young men.
Navigating the challenges faced by young men in today's uncertain times, we underscore the importance of building emotional muscle. We share practical tips on fostering empathy and redefining manhood. This episode is more than just a conversation; it's a call to step up, to challenge harmful narratives of masculinity, and to be a part of the change in building safer communities free from violence.
