Liz and Tim explore the shifting perceptions of manhood and how societal expectations can create pressures that may lead to issues such as hopelessness and increased suicide rates among men. We also discuss the impact of men being valued based on their ability to provide and the existing struggle between traditional masculine roles and contemporary societal expectations, also touching on the importance of self-care and self-understanding in nurturing healthier perspectives of masculinity.
