  • Men in Shakespeare

    I had fun speaking with Sreemedha, my gracious host, on how Shakespeare can help men discern between healthy and unhealthy masculine behavior. We jumped right in contrasting specific male characters in the plays— their mindset and actions that helped them win or lose what they wanted most.

  • Pressure to perform

    Such a great conversation with my esteemed colleague Sana on Mind Over Masculinity. We both did our best to offer some practical insight for men ( and women) struggling with the ridged constructs of instant transformation and perfectionism. Highly recommend to other guests and listeners

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Redefining Strength Beyond the Armour: Men, Emotions and Ego Defenses with Dr. Robert Jaffe
Q: For someone listening right now, who recognizes some of these patterns in themselves, where would you suggest they begin?
Jaffe recommends seeking someone to talk with, such as a psychotherapist or a person who can offer a referral, and learning through books or other resources. He encourages curiosity about the origins of one's beliefs and patterns.
Redefining Strength Beyond the Armour: Men, Emotions and Ego Defenses with Dr. Robert Jaffe
Q: What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about questioning traditional ideas of masculinity?
Jaffe says masculinity is about being fully oneself, rather than conforming to an adapted self shaped by family or society. He argues that expressing sadness and fear does not make a man less masculine.
Redefining Strength Beyond Performance: Masculinity and Wellbeing with Mark Fabian
Q: So Mark for someone listening right now who is beginning to recognize these patterns in themselves, where would you suggest they start? Like what's one practical realistic way they can begin relating to their emotions and inner experiences differently without feeling that they have to change their entire personality?
Fabian suggests looking for male role models who combine recognizable masculine qualities with sensitivity and emotional openness. He also recommends listening to what younger women want from men and considering those perspectives without treating them as personal criticism.
Redefining Strength Beyond Performance: Masculinity and Wellbeing with Mark Fabian
Q: So when someone describes a man as strong, what do you think they are usually referring to? And what parts of that traditional definition might actually do more harm than good?
Fabian says traditional strength has meant physical power, historically tied to warfare and protection, as well as emotional stoicism. While suppressing emotions may help in high-pressure situations, it can interfere with vulnerability and lead to explosive anger when men fail to recognize their own emotions.
Redefining Male Strength: Intimacy, Presence and Sexual Confidence with Eyal Matsliah
Q: How do these expectations around masculinity show up in a men's sex life, whether that's around performance, ejaculation, desire, or simply feeling comfortable enough to be emotionally intimate with a partner?
Matsliah says pornography can create unrealistic expectations and that men should learn to express emotions and needs without blame. He describes his five-step ejaculation-control method: Why, Feel, Pause, Move and Transform, which focuses on bodily awareness, pausing and redirecting energy rather than distraction or numbing sensation.
