In this eye-opening episode, host Nicholette Leanza is joined by LifeStance therapist Will Acton for a timely conversation about masculinity, mental health, and the growing influence of the “manosphere.”
Sparked by themes in the Netflix series Adolescence, they dive into the world of online communities that push extreme views on manhood—ranging from men’s rights groups to incel forums. Will breaks down how these spaces can fuel toxic behaviors, emotional repression, and even mental health crises. They unpack the appeal of certain influencers, share red flags to watch for, and offer practical ways to steer men and boys toward healthier, more authentic versions of masculinity.
