From the way men and women are taught to express emotions, to the expectations placed on masculinity and femininity, we explore how these ideas quietly shape friendships, dating, and the way we understand each other. To help us unpack this, we invited a male perspective into the conversation, Justus’s brother, Caden, who grew up surrounded by women and brings an honest, thoughtful lens to what it means to grow up navigating masculinity today. This episode isn’t about men vs. women or who has it harder, it’s about understanding how these systems affect all of us, and how empathy, communication, and awareness can help us connect in healthier ways.
