  <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever been told "real men don't cry"? I'd love to be part of turning that ridiculous narrative on its head. Many people see emotional stoicism as one of the gold standards of masculinity, but what we actually need more of is being open about our struggles with mental health and life in general. This isn’t just about sharing stories or having conversations; it's about showing that true strength lies in embracing vulnerability and living authentically. Whether it's unlearning the BS we've been taught about suppressing our true selves, or conquering the everyday decisions that anxiety warps into seemingly-insurmountable challenges, you'll see that we're all fighting similar battles — and that's nothing to be ashamed of. We *can* fight these battles together, but not if we don't talk about it first. So let's talk.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>In the meantime, just remember: crying is manly. 💪😭&nbsp; #cryingismanly&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>👋 TO CONTACT ME:&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Voicemail - https://fanlist.com/cryingismanly&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Email - podcast@cryingismanly.com&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>]]></description>
