What Men Won’t Say Out Loud (But Need To)

This week on Mostly Thriving, we’re tackling two big things: holiday chaos and a hidden crisis almost no one’s talking about: the men’s loneliness epidemic.

First we talk through, the holiday juggling act of trying to make it to multiple houses, keep the kids semi-civilized, and still find a moment to breathe. We talk about setting boundaries, giving grace, and remembering that the holidays don’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.

TJ gets vulnerable when we shift gears into something deeper: why so many men feel disconnected. From shrinking friendships to silent struggles, we break down the loneliness crisis that no one’s talking about and how purpose, brotherhood, and real connection can change everything.

It’s honest, heartfelt, and maybe the conversation you didn’t know you needed before the holidays hit.
