<p><a href="https://menstherapy.online/podcasts/masculine-energy-modern-masculinity-josh-tomeoni/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Blog"><u>Modern masculinity</u></a> has a missing piece, and most men feel it without being able to name it. They pay the bills, hold down big jobs, do everything they’re supposed to do as adults. But when they look in the mirror, they don’t see a man. They see a boy in a man’s costume.</p><p>In this solo episode of the<a href="https://menstherapy.online/"> <u>Men’s Therapy Podcast</u></a>, host and therapist <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcmazoulay"><u>Marc Azoulay</u></a> is making the case that what most men are missing is <a href="https://menstherapy.online/podcasts/rites-passage-path-healthy-masculinity/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Blog"><u>initiation</u></a>. For hundreds of thousands of years, cultures marked the <a href="https://menstherapy.online/podcasts/transforming-manhood-young-men-micah-blackwell/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Blog"><u>transition from boyhood to manhood </u></a>through structured trials led by older men. That tradition stopped about 50 years ago, and nothing’s replaced it.</p><p>Without genuine challenge, the <a href="https://menstherapy.online/podcasts/mastering-emotional-regulation-carlos-davidovich/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Blog"><u>nervous system</u></a> starts treating ordinary social pressures like survival threats. Marc’s arguing that life has become too easy from a survival standpoint, not painless, but too comfortable to trigger real growth. The result’s a generation of men who’re anxious, isolated, and quietly waiting for permission to feel like they’ve arrived.</p><p>This episode covers how to identify the one core insecurity driving that imposter feeling, how to design the right level of challenge for <a href="https://menstherapy.online/podcasts/personal-development-modern-man-anthony-astbury/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Blog"><u>self-improvement</u></a> for men, what the fairytale Iron John reveals about masculine identity and breaking free from comfort, and why men bond through doing rather than talking. It’s a direct and practical look at how to build mental toughness and what becoming a man actually requires in the modern world.</p><p>For more podcasts, blogs, and to get involved in the Men&#39;s Therapy Online Community, visit <a href="http://www.menstherapy.online"><u>www.menstherapy.online</u></a>.</p><p>Follow us on social media: <a href="https://mtr.bio/mens-therapy-online"><u>https://mtr.bio/mens-therapy-online</u></a>.</p>
