Feeling behind in life and not knowing how to talk about it

from Men's Mental Health Series · host Daryl Perry

You are not behind in life.A lot of men were taught that their value comes from what they do, what they provide, the titles they hold, and the results they can show. In this episode, I talk about why your value is not just in what you produce, but in who you are, including the parts of you that are still healing.We talk about how comparison can make you feel like you are losing a race you were never meant to run, and why moving at your own pace is not failure. You are figuring things out in real time. You will take steps forward and steps back. That does not mean you are broken. It means you are human.This podcast exists to help men start the conversations they need to have, with others and with themselves. It is about learning that it is okay to feel, okay to sit with emotion, and okay to work through pain instead of pretending it is not there. The most important conversation is often the one you have with yourself.If you are listening to this, it tells me you care about growth, healing, and understanding yourself better. That matters more than you think.DisclaimerThis podcast is designed to get conversations started around your mental and emotional health and is not to be taken as medical advice.
