“Men should…” “Men shouldn't…” I'm sure you've heard these statements many times. In this day and age, it's hard enough to navigate the world as a human. It is a particular type of struggle when you walk the world as a man. The loneliness. Not being understood. Feeling so sad that it has no place to be, but be angry. All of this feels like cold emptiness or a restrained never-ending tension. Either path leads us men to feeling lost without a clue of which way to turn; least of all, knowing who to walk with. I provide the space for you to be open about your struggles without judgment and truly be yourself.
