Who decides the rules of modern masculinity, and why does it feel like everyone is policing each other's lives? This episode breaks down the cultural boundaries we place on men, the shifting dynamics of relationships when finances change, and why we’ve collectively elevated celebrities to the status of modern deities.
We also dive deep into the ultimate double standard: why do we always demand absolute accountability for other people's actions, but ask for complete grace based on our own "good intentions"? From the battle between lived experience and actual expertise to the simple power of admitting when you're wrong, we are unpacking the unspoken social contracts dictating how we live, work, and relate to one another today.
