Guys Dealings with Feelings
For men who say "I'm fine" when they're not.
Guys Dealings With Feelings is a podcast about what men actually carry — anger, grief, shutdown, the things they don't say out loud. Aaron Gray, who lost his infant son Joel in 2012, hosts with his childhood friend Jason, a therapist with 18 years of clinical experience. One of them has lived it. The other knows the language.
Together they talk about identity, trauma, presence, being a man, and what it takes to feel anything again — without judgment or performative toughness.

The Modern Man Under Pressure
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Modern men are under pressure like never before—dating expectations, changing roles at home, economic strain, and a cultural message that tells us to “be strong” while giving us zero tools to actually handle what we feel.
In today’s episode, Jason and I break down what’s REALLY going on.
We talk about:
- The brutal reality of online dating
- Why men are withdrawing and shutting down
- How emotional expression became tied to “weakness”
- The evolutionary shift happening in relationships
- Why presence, not perfection, is what your partner actually needs
- How lack of community has made everything heavier
This one is honest, real, and overdue.
If you're a man trying to understand why everything feels harder today—or a partner trying to understand the man you love—this conversation matters.
