My Life Is Fine… So Why Am I Not? with Kenyada Meadows

from Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast · host Philip Briscoe

What if nothing is wrong in your life… but you don’t feel anything anymore? Some men don’t break down. They just go numb.They keep working, providing, showing up… but inside something has quietly switched off. In this episode I speak with Kenyada Meadows, a former Wall Street executive who calls this “hollow man syndrome” - when you look successful on the outside but feel empty inside. Kenyada talks openly about the slow realization that success doesn’t always equal fulfillment, the pressure many men feel to stay strong while feeling disconnected, and why so many men withdraw rather than speak when something isn’t right. What makes this conversation different is the way he breaks down how men become “hollow”, not through failure, but through years of putting expectations, work, and responsibility ahead of themselves until they lose touch with who they are. What we explore: Why many successful men still feel unfulfilled The hidden cost of always being “the strong one” Why men often express pain through silence rather than words How career success can sometimes mask deeper dissatisfaction Why many men don’t realise they’re struggling until relationships start to suffer How to start rebuilding a life that actually feels like yours.Why might want to listen if you recognize any of these signs: Feeling flat when life should feel good Losing excitement for things you used to enjoy Feeling pressure to keep going even when something feels off Wondering if this is just what adulthood is supposed to feel like.This episode is about recognising those signals early and asking better questions about how you want to live not just what you’re expected to achieve.You can find out more about Kenyada by visiting his website The Executive Parent Company or you can listen to his podcast Executive Dad on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other channels.
