  • Modern Masculinity, Feminism, & Raising Boys in 2026

    Modern Masculinity, Feminism, & Raising Boys in 2026
    Mar 18 2026
    Matt and Abby open up about what it feels like to raise boys in a moment where conversations around masculinity feel louder and more polarized than ever. They unpack the difference between healthy and unhealthy masculinity, how criticism aimed at grown men can be internalized by young boys, and the role social media plays in amplifying extremes. They also share their biggest hopes as parents — raising sons with strength, humility, emotional awareness, and a sense of purpose in a rapidly changing world.

I've only listened to a half dozen episodes so far (skipping around to topics that interest me). But so far I'm really liking what I hear and the realness you share and encourage others to share.
