“Be strong.”

“Don’t show weakness.”

“Handle it yourself.”

For generations, these unspoken rules have kept men silent — burying pain, loneliness, and fear beneath layers of stoicism. But something is shifting.

More men are opening up — not in therapy offices, not in support groups, but in the backyards, barbershops, gyms, and late-night drives with one trusted friend. A buddy. Not a therapist. Not a coach. Just someone who says, “I’m here. I’m listening.”

In this deeply moving episode, mindfulness and emotional wellness expert Dr. Soha explores the quiet revolution in male emotional health: the rise of the “buddy” as the new front line of healing.

From the loneliness epidemic to rising rates of depression and suicide among men, Dr. Soha unpacks why traditional mental health systems often fail men — and how simple, consistent, judgment-free friendship is becoming a lifeline.

She discusses:

Why men often feel safer talking to a buddy than a professional

How shared activities (sports, driving, working out) create space for real emotional connection

The power of “side-by-side” conversations over “face-to-face” pressure

When a buddy is enough — and when it’s time to seek deeper help

How we can normalize emotional openness without shaming traditional masculinity

This is not about telling men to “cry.”

It’s about honoring the ways they’re already learning to heal — one honest conversation, one loyal friend, one “You good, bro?” at a time.

🎧 Tune in to a conversation about courage, connection, and the quiet strength of men who are finally learning to speak — not in words, always, but in presence.
