Expectations | The Weight You Carry, The Pressure You Create | The Mens Collective | Ep. 056

Most relationships do not collapse from betrayal, they erode under silent expectations, and that same pattern shows up in work, fatherhood, friendships and self worth.In this episode, Wayno, Mikie and Stevo unpack the pressure men live under and the pressure they quietly place on others, to provide more, be more, and never fall short.Expectation shapes behaviour and respect, when it is unspoken it becomes resentment, when it is unrealistic it becomes frustration.This conversation challenges men to define the standards they are chasing and the ones they are enforcing, because sometimes the real pressure in your life is a silent standard you never clearly chose.Episode SegmentsAsk Us Anything1/ “How do you know when to quit?
