This episode takes a deep dive into the complexities of family dynamics and the impact they have on men's mental health. Tommy recently returned from a five-week trip, spending four of those weeks in Slovakia with his family. While reconnecting was meaningful, it also came with emotional challenges—especially in his turbulent relationship with his mother. Their differing worldviews have always created friction, and during this trip, tensions escalated into a major conflict that left lasting effects.
We also explore his relationship with his father and brother—connections that, while strong in person, fade when separated by distance. What happens when family ties feel more like obligations than sources of support? How do men process these emotions when societal expectations often push them to suppress rather than express?
Join us as we unpack these questions, shedding light on the struggles many men face in balancing independence with family bonds, and the silent battles that come with navigating these relationships.
