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 […]
Sometimes it feels like life is moving too fast, and I’m just trying to keep up. I’ve come to realize that to keep my sanity, alone time is essential for me, and probably for all humans. It’s not about pushing anyone away or escaping from the people we love. Alone time is about recharging, reflecting, […]
High-pressure situations are challenging, especially at work. It can cause the strongest of men to break down. Take the story of the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster in 1986. I’ve heard this story thousands of times, sometimes from motivational speakers, other times from friends and family. Seems the story has many lessons. So, I’ll share one […]
How many times have you woken up determined to have that perfect morning, only to find yourself rolling out of bed much later and more tired than when you first woke up? Then tomorrow comes, and you’re back to hitting snooze like it’s a competitive sport. Same here! But let’s pause for a second—what if […]
When I read through the letter that Paul wrote in Romans it’s hard to not be motivated. Paul was both courageous and disciplined. He was excited to motivate others in their Faith, and was willing to travel great distances to do so. He was undeterred by the challenges he saw ahead of him. Paul was […]
Ever had one of those days where you just feel stuck? Like, no matter what you do, life feels like it’s on repeat. You’re tired of the same habits, the same reactions, the same struggles, but you’re not sure how to break free. Maybe you’ve even heard about journaling—a bunch of people swear by it—but […]
Nobody ever wants to be in the eyeline of an emotionally unavailable man. Sadly, sometimes you find yourself there without even knowing it. I mean, it’s not like emotionally unavailable men walk around with a sign on their foreheads. And they don’t come out of the gates announcing it. They probably don’t even realize or […]
First things first, do men even emotionally connect with others? They must, right? There are many people with successful marriages and relationships, which means that the men in those relationships managed to emotionally connect with their partners. However, a lot of women struggle to have that connection with men. And it makes sense because men […]
Just when you thought nothing could possibly surprise you, you came across him—a man with no friends. Well, at first, you did not realize it. Then you started to notice the signs. His stories barely involve anyone else. And when they do, it’s mostly a sibling or a coworker. He has never mentioned a high […]
While it might be a stereotype, I believe there is some truth to the old adage that men aren’t as emotional as women. There are certainly outliers, but on the whole, I’d say it’s harder for us to get in touch with our emotions, and most of us don’t give it much effort. This disconnect […]
I have always found male friendships interesting. Male bonding is nothing like when women get together. When women meet, there’s a lot of sharing, advice-giving, empowerment, and overall satisfaction. When men meet, I see none of those things. They often sit quietly and drink or watch stuff with the occasional comment or joke passed around. […]
As societies become more secularized and individuals embrace diverse worldviews, many find themselves questioning or abandoning their faith altogether. As a Christ follower and an international digital nomad, I’ve found myself grappling with unique challenges and uncertainties. Growing up in the Bible Belt surrounded by like-minded friends, family, and communities provided a sense of security […]
