It's okay not to be okay and we don't have to always act tough, be in control and hide our feelings that we can escape living in shame by discovering the freedom found in vulnerability.
Imagine growing up with the belief that being a man means never showing weakness, always staying in control, and working tirelessly. This was Steve C. Ward's reality by the time he reached Junior High. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Next Right STEPS' podcast, Steve unpacks the harmful societal norms that burden many men with shame and often lead to addiction and mental health struggles.
Through personal anecdotes, Steve reveals how these toxic beliefs can drive men to hide their vulnerabilities behind a facade of busyness and achievement. But there's hope. Steve emphasizes that true strength lies in vulnerability and courage. He shares how one open, honest conversation can be a game-changer, whether it's with a spouse, friend, or life coach. Men don't have to carry their burdens alone or live in quiet desperation.
By facing their emotions head-on and seeking help, they can break free from the cycle of shame and addiction. This episode is a heartfelt call to all men to embrace their true selves and find freedom in authenticity. If you're ready to challenge outdated norms and discover a healthier way to live, this episode is for you.
