Healthy Masculinity vs Toxic Masculinity: (What’s the Real Difference?) | Ep. 118

Healthy Masculinity vs Toxic Masculinity – what’s the real difference, and why does it matter more than ever? In this powerful episode of The Wellness Connection, Fiona Kane sits down with Alison D'Vine, a social worker and founder of WA’s only private Men’s Behaviour Change Program, to unpack the truth behind modern masculinity.

Together, they explore how boys and men are shaped by online culture, what draws them to figures like Andrew Tate, and why the conversation around masculinity has become so polarised. From the influence of incel communities to the importance of rites of passage, they dive deep into the challenges facing young men today - and how society, parents, and professionals can respond with compassion, structure, and support.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply curious about the current masculinity debate, this episode offers grounded insights, respectful discussion, and real solutions.
