7. Toxic Masculinity in the Military (Steve Johnson)
This episode with my friend Steve Johnson focuses on toxic masculinity in the military. For clarification, Steve isn’t speaking on behalf of the US military or as a representative of the Texas Military Department, he is only sharing his experience and observations to help others feel encouraged and less alone when it comes to the negative effects of toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity can be found anywhere, so pay attention to your fellow humans and be inspired by what Steve says about speaking up on behalf of others and also being a safe place for others to unpack feelings.
