Together with host Tom Perez, Gene unpacks the hidden wounds of childhood trauma, the isolating nature of shame, and how modern society’s shifting landscape affects men’s emotional well-being. This conversation dives deep into the generational patterns of disconnection, the societal pressures that keep men from seeking help, and the essential role of authentic relationships in personal growth.
