Episode 36 - Emotional Shutdown, Patriarchy, and the Rise of Vulnerable Masculinity w/Owen Marcus

Why do so many men shut down emotionally - and what is the cost of that silence, not just for men, but for the women who love them? In this episode, we welcome our very first male guest: Owen Marcus. A leader in men’s emotional development and author of Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Masculine Emotional Intelligence. We unpack: -Why emotional shutdown isn’t a flaw—it’s a nervous system survival response -Tools for men to better express their emotional experiences -The emotional labor women take on when men can’t express themselves -What healthy masculinity actually looks like when men feel safe enough to feel This conversation is not about blaming men—it’s about breaking the cycle. If you’ve ever loved a man who felt distant, frozen, or “fine” on the surface but unreachable underneath—this one’s for you.
