The Man Mask

Most men don’t wake up one day and decide to hide who they are.
They learn to do it — quietly, gradually, and often without realising it.

This episode explores how the man mask is formed: the unspoken rules about strength, emotional control, and holding it together no matter the cost. We look at how silence becomes a survival skill, how emotional performance replaces honesty, and why many men grow up believing that being steady means being silent.

This isn’t about blame or accusation.
It’s about understanding.

Because before anything can change, it has to be seen.

If this resonates, you’re not broken — you adapted.
And adaptation can be unlearned, slowly and safely, when the time is right.
