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.

Identity: Who You Think You Are vs. Who You Actually Are

In this episode, Aaron and Jason explore identity — how it’s formed, how it gets distorted through experience and conditioning, and why so many people feel lost when the version of themselves they’ve been operating from no longer works. They discuss how identity is often built around survival, expectations, and unprocessed experiences, rather than truth or presence. This conversation invites listeners to question who they think they are, notice what no longer fits, and begin reconnecting with a more grounded, honest sense of self.
