Permission to Cry: Emotions and the Modern Man

  • Summary

  • For years, men have been told to "man up" and hold it in. But why? In this episode, Marcel and Daniel dive into the stigma around men crying, where it comes from, and why it’s time to let it go—literally. From childhood lessons about toughness to the science behind why crying is actually good for you, we’re breaking down what it really means to be strong.

    🗣️ Topics We Cover:

    Why men are told not to cry—and why that’s outdated The one tear rule vs. actually letting it out The paradox of vulnerability: Why we admire it in others but avoid it ourselves How repressed emotions affect mental and physical health Redefining “man up” for a new generation

    📝 Challenge of the Week:
    If you feel like crying, let it happen. No shame, no holding back—just let yourself feel.
