The Work
How Men Can Lighten the Load
In this episode:
James explores why so many men feel emotionally heavy — even when life looks “fine” on the surface. He unpacks how stress, emotional suppression, and unspoken tension can build up over time, and shares how to start releasing that weight in practical, healthy ways.
You’ll learn:
- What “emotional load” really means and how it affects your body and mind.
- Why most men carry it without realising it.
- How to identify what’s weighing you down.
- The importance of awareness, acceptance, and communication.
- Why calm is the foundation for wisdom, growth, and stronger relationships.
Takeaway:
When you acknowledge what you’re carrying — and stop carrying it in silence — the load gets lighter.
That’s how men build calm, resilience, and emotional strength.
Listen to this episode if you’re:
- Feeling tense, drained, or mentally heavy.
- Struggling to express how you feel.
- Ready to build emotional strength and connection.
