In this episode of The Meaningful Shit Show, Vincent unpacks the stories we inherit about masculinity — and the quiet damage they cause. From the “man box” that teaches boys to numb their hearts, to the p*rn scripts that confuse conquest with connection, to the loneliness men rarely admit out loud.Through honesty, psychology, and DBT tools, we’ll explore: • How culture wires disconnection into male identity • The link between p*rn, ego, and emotional avoidance • Why Red Pill ideology sells fear, not strength • How to trade performance for presence — in work, s*x, and loveThis isn’t about shaming men. It’s about undefining masculinity — loosening the armor, and walking a path where connection replaces control.💭 Reflection prompt:What story did you inherit about being a man — and what story are you actually living?🧠 Distilled truths: • The man box sells safety, but it costs your soul. • Performance without presence is hollow. • What we call strength is often just untreated pain.⸻🎧 Listen everywhere: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube📸 Follow @TheMeaningfulShitShow#Masculinity #ToxicMasculinity #MenHealing #DBT #Mindfulness #TheMeaningfulShitShow⸻
