I don't want to be the one that didn't do the work for the week. Think about what you're doing and make the best choice for you, not just the one you want.
What does it mean to be a man today? Dr. Jeremy Goldberg, who grew up with an alcoholic mother, knows firsthand the struggles and lessons that come from such a challenging environment. In this thought-provoking episode of Brobriety, host VanSober sits down with Dr. Goldberg to discuss how men can lead with heart and wholeness, transforming traditional views of masculinity into something much more meaningful and inclusive. Dr. Goldberg, a life coach with a Ph.D.
in human behavior, shares his journey from a household marked by addiction to becoming an advocate for kindness and emotional honesty. He talks about the evolving definition of manhood, the absence of initiation rituals in Western culture, and how these gaps affect men's mental health and wellness. His insights are not just academic; they are deeply personal and resonate with anyone who's ever questioned what it truly means to be a 'real man'.
One of the key themes is the impact of patriarchy on men. Dr. Goldberg points out that while patriarchy might seem to benefit white men, it also imposes significant emotional burdens. He advocates for redefining masculinity to include vulnerability and open-heartedness, rather than the suppression of emotions and reliance on substances as coping mechanisms. The episode also touches on the importance of personal responsibility and self-awareness. Dr. Goldberg encourages listeners to take charge of their lives, relationships, and thoughts.
He emphasizes that breaking bad habits is uncomfortable but essential for personal growth. His advice is clear: you don't need to change who you are to belong; instead, embrace your true self and seek out communities that uplift you. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Goldberg's anecdotes are both relatable and inspiring. He stresses the importance of effective communication, self-awareness, and taking personal responsibility for one's wellness and sobriety.
His message is one of hope and optimism, reminding us that healing is always possible. This episode of Brobriety with Dr. Jeremy Goldberg is a must-listen for anyone interested in redefining masculinity, embracing vulnerability, and pursuing a healthier, more fulfilling life.
