#108: What no one told you about becoming a man

from Better Bloke

No one really tells you what becoming a man actually looks like. You just figure it out as you go… and most of the time, you’re winging it.In this episode, we unpack the pressure, the mixed messages, and the expectations that come with it. From the idea that no one is coming to save you, to the influence young blokes are facing online, and the confusion around what it even means to “step up.”We talk about why blokes should be chasing happiness, not just pushing through, and how mental health plays a big role in relationships, work, and everyday life.There’s also a real conversation around money, pressure, and the reality a lot of men are facing right now trying to provide while still being present.At the end of the day, it’s simple: Do the work. Take responsibility.But understand… you don’t have to have it all figured out overnight.
