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.

Communication isn’t just about talking—it’s about being understood.
In this episode of Guys Dealings With Feelings, Aaron and Jason break down why so many men struggle with communication and how it impacts relationships, work, and personal growth. Most men were never taught how to express what they feel, set boundaries, or have difficult conversations without shutting down or blowing up.
We dive into:
- Why men avoid difficult conversations
- The difference between reacting and responding
- How poor communication creates distance in relationships
- Practical tools to communicate clearly and confidently
- How to say what needs to be said without damaging connection
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, avoided conversations, or struggled to say what you really mean—this episode will give you the awareness and tools to change that. This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about becoming clear, direct, and grounded in how you show up.
Listen now and start communicating like a man who knows who he is.
