Episode 1: Social media, masculinity, and choosing the hard conversations

In this episode, Rachael, Liz, Junior, and Z dive into how social media shapes the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and especially masculinity. The hosts open up about their personal experiences online and how the constant noise of comparison, trends, and opinions affects mental health and identity.They talk about the pressure men face to perform strength instead of expressing emotion, the labels that get attached too easily, and the deeper need for empathy and understanding in a world built on quick reactions. From fasting from social media to reflecting on how algorithms influence our thoughts, this conversation challenges all of us to slow down and listen.The group reminds us that faith, accountability, and connection still matter in a digital age — and that taking the stairs means choosing growth over comfort, one step at a time.Hosts: Rachael, Liz, Junior, and Z Website: wetakethestairs.com
