What is happiness and joy? Are these actual concepts we can truly understand, and if so what would be the importance of understanding them? I’ve often compartmentalized these concepts, and wondered if truly understanding them is worth spending mental energy on. After all these are personal emotions that only impact our own person right, or […]
One thing I have noticed is that men love to talk about fitness. They share gym routines, food calendars, protein intake and recipes, and more. Bros always try to get their fellow bros fit and healthy. The only fitness guys rarely pay attention to is social fitness for men. But I get it. Social fitness […]
In the not-so-distant past, men were expected to be strong enough to overcome any mental health issue or weakness alone, or at least cover it up, and not complain about it. There was (and sometimes still is) a stigma when it comes to men and emotional support. As a result, many men experienced mental health […]
As the year winds down, the festive season tends to throw leaders into a bit of a balancing act. On the one hand, you want to embrace the holiday spirit, go to those end-of-year parties, exchange Secret Santa gifts, and (finally!) take some well-deserved time off. But on the other hand, you want to finish […]
Being a leader during the festive season is a lot. Deadlines still exist, the team is juggling work and holiday plans, budgets are looming, and if you’re really honest, you’re probably also a little distracted by all the festivities yourself. There’s no time for leadership lessons! You want to keep your team motivated, set the […]
Team appreciation at the end of the year can feel like a bit of a minefield, right? Of course you know you should do something. Your team has worked their butts off all year, pulling through deadlines, endless Zoom calls (ugh), and the occasional “Can we circle back on this?” moments. They’ve been in the […]
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? You ask him what’s wrong, and he hits you with that line: “I’m fine.” But deep down, you know he’s not fine. Not even close! Maybe it was after a heated argument that left you both emotionally exhausted. How could he possibly be fine after that? Maybe it’s because […]
Picture this: You’re having a cozy evening with your boyfriend, maybe after a great meal or a fun date, and the topic of the future comes up. You’re daydreaming out loud, maybe hinting at that beautiful white dress and a lifetime of shared moments. And then… boom. He drops the bomb. He says, “I don’t […]
The mysterious man has no business being charming, interesting, and attractive, right? You’ve probably fallen for him at least once or fallen in love with him in a book. So, was he everything you could ever dream of? I know mine wasn’t! As much as mystery is exciting and charming, it can also be frustrating […]
Forgiving yourself; now that’s something I know many people struggle with. If you are anything like me, you have an easier time letting go of what people did to you than forgiving what you think you may have done wrong to yourself. Everyone receives mercy; they made a mistake, and that’s fine. But you’re different. […]
Friendships are a cornerstone of a fulfilling life, yet many men find making and maintaining close friends particularly challenging as they age. The “friendship recession” is real, and it’s not just about having fewer friends; it’s about the quality and depth of those relationships. Whether you’re fresh out of college or noticing your circle has […]
Do men talk about getting separated from their partners? With the high rate of divorces, they really should. That, and separating in a relationship, is harder than it sounds. You’re not just about losing a partner; you’re also dealing with changes in your daily routine and social life. Dealing with a separation isn’t about wallowing […]
