What Men Were Taught About Strength That Hurts Relationships

from Men on the Path to Love · host Bill Simpson

You can be tough, capable, and respected and still feel lost when it comes to relationships. I’m talking about the gap between the version of “strength” we were taught growing up versus the kind of strength a healthy relationship actually needs. In this episode, I unpack the old rules many men inherit.  I also share “Rico's” story, a strong man who knew exactly how to survive a tough life in prison but had a hard time being vulnerable with a partner, and how learning what true strength is changed everything. You’ll walk away with a clear picture of what strength looks like in real life. I’ll give you three ways to start rewiring your definition of strength today, plus two reflection questions that can change how you show up in relationship.
