Making Space for Boys & Men: Why It Matters for All of Us
from The Doula Johanna Podcast: Keeping Death Close. Living More Fully. · host Johanna Canady
I have three daughters. I’m not raising boys—but I care about them. Because the well-being of men matters—for us, for our daughters, for the world we’re building. We need strong, kind, emotionally intelligent men just as much as we need strong, empowered women. In this episode, I explore what positive masculinity looks like, why so many boys struggle in today’s world, and how we can create space for them to thrive—without taking anything away from women. Because supporting the men and boys in our lives is a crucial part of our well-being too. This episode was inspired by the book Of Boys and Men by Richard Reeves—an eye-opening read on why so many young men are struggling today.
