Bonus Ep: The Intersection of Sibs and Men's Mental Health

Men and male sibs - are you doing okay?In this bonus episode, Sheena is joined by Dr. Peter Fisher, a research fellow at the Movember Institute of Men’s Health, to dig into something no one is talking about: the very things that make it hard to be a man in this culture are the same things that make it hard to be a Sib.Together, they explore:* How loneliness has reached epidemic levels — and how Sibs, across all genders, will recognize that feeling immediately* What Pete’s research says about why caregiving and masculinity aren’t as far apart as we’ve been told* The “perception gap”: how men consistently overestimate how much other men endorse traditional masculine norms* What the data shows about the gender differences in the impact of being a caregiver* One small thing you can do today for the male Sib or man in your life — and why it might mean more to them than you knowWe all need community, so let’s build it together.
