In this episode of The Circle, the Podcast for Queer Men's Embodiment, we take a deep dive into the strong man archetype—the societal expectation that men must always have the answers, never ask for help, and handle everything alone. These pressures often lead to overwhelm, isolation, and burnout, especially for queer men navigating mental, emotional, and spiritual growth.
Tim and Eric explore how men’s work and embodiment practices provide essential tools for managing stress, recognizing when we’re overwhelmed, and learning to ask for support. We discuss how the false ideal of relentless self-sufficiency can keep men from experiencing deeper connection, trust, and personal expansion. Through real-life stories, including Eric’s struggles with overachieving and avoidance behaviors, we unpack the power of awareness, pacing, and community in navigating the inevitable pressures of life.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying too much alone or struggling to keep up with impossible expectations, this conversation is for you. Tune in to discover how queer men’s embodiment, men’s work, and conscious masculinity can help you move from burnout to balance—and why the strongest thing you can do is lean into support.
