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.

In this episode of Guys Dealings With Feelings, Aaron and Jason explore the relationship between happiness and personal responsibility — and why lasting fulfillment can’t be outsourced, chased, or handed to us by circumstances.
They discuss how many men unknowingly place responsibility for their happiness on relationships, careers, validation, or external success, and why this leads to frustration, resentment, and disconnection. The conversation looks at how trauma, conditioning, and avoidance shape our expectations — and what it actually means to take responsibility without blame or self-judgment.
This episode isn’t about forcing positivity or grinding harder. It’s about understanding where responsibility begins, how awareness changes choice, and why happiness is less about control and more about relationship to experience.
Guys Dealings With Feelings is a podcast dedicated to helping men develop emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, and a grounded sense of responsibility for the lives they’re living.
