In Part Two, Jeff Hartman, an 8-year military veteran and longtime high school teacher, shares his perspective on being a stay-at-home dad in the United States and navigating a traditionally female-dominated space. He reflects on the praise and criticism his family has faced, the expectations placed on mothers, and the realities of building community among stay-at-home moms. The conversation also explores the social isolation of full-time caregiving and the economic realities that are reshaping modern parenting roles.

We spend a lot of time talking about how the world works, or doesn’t work, for women. But none of us exist in isolation. In this two-part conversation, we turn our focus to men: what’s working, what isn’t, and how we can better support one another moving forward.

For Part 2, we continue the conversation with Dr. Phil Wagner, Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Raymond A. Mason School of Business at William & Mary. Along with being an award-winning educator, Dr. Phil brings a thoughtful perspective on men, masculinity, and the ways gender socialization shapes all of us. What makes his insights especially valuable is the empathy, optimism, and curiosity he brings to conversations about the future of gender relationships.

In this second installment, we dive deeper into changing roles, cancel culture, the “four-legged stool” of traditional masculinity, fatherhood and caregiving, the impact of AI, and what healthier collaboration between men and women could look like.

Quick—when you hear “eating disorder,” who do you picture? What kind of person?

If you're like most people, you picture a young white woman. And yes, by some estimates, 85–90% of those with diagnosed eating disorders are women. Hmmm… any ideas why that is? Women’s sense of control and agency, for one. The socialized importance of appearance (thinness!) for women, for another. But there’s more.

The triggers for eating disorders are often rooted in trauma. But clearly not everyone with trauma develops—or maintains—an eating disorder. And as our guest points out, what sustains and perpetuates an eating disorder is often very different from what started it. PLUS, there is an entire category of “disordered eating”—phenomenally common, yet not clinically diagnosed.

Dr. Zoe Ross-Nash is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in eating disorders—and the perfect person to dig into this topic with us. Learn about the most current thinking on eating disorder causes and treatments, why it is a women’s issue—but not only a women’s issue—how GLP-1s fit into the picture, and more.

Chances are high that either you or someone you know struggles with disordered eating. But have you talked about it? Probably not. Why the secrecy and stigma? Join us as we work to bring this common issue out of the shadows and into the light.
