Better Together: What We Need From Men Now (Part II)

Published Jun 26, 2025, 8:30 AM

In Part II of our conversation with Jay Allred and Colton Penwell, we talk about the stuff men are often taught to avoid — emotional isolation, asking for help, and showing up for each other in real ways.

This episode explores why male friendship can feel rare, how the “loneliness epidemic” is hitting men hard, and what it looks like to break through shame and start building something better.

We also talk dating, permission to feel, and what young men and boys can learn about outgrowing the "toxic masculinity" culture.

If you're new here, this is a place for everyone to laugh, learn, heal and build. Not alone. Not perfectly. But arm in arm, heart to heart. Because we were never meant to do this alone. We are always Better Together
