Being a man is not necessary. So look at it. Don't try to prove yourself to the world. You know, be kind, be kind to people. I like masculine people, is kind people, in my opinion, okay.
Ever thought that drinking and smoking made you more of a man? Carel van Heerden used to think so too. In this eye-opening episode of the Craving Wolves Addiction Podcast, Carel dives into the concept of the 'mask of masculinity'. Inspired by Lewis Howes' book 'The Mask of Masculinity', he shares his personal battle with addiction and how societal expectations of being 'manly' contributed to his struggles.
Carel emphasizes that true strength lies in vulnerability and empathy, not in hiding behind substances. He challenges the outdated notion that men must be tough and stoic, encouraging listeners to be kind to themselves and others. Carel also throws his support behind the MOvember movement, offering practical tips for those on their journey to overcome addiction. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that could change your perspective on masculinity and recovery.
