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.

You're Not Emotionless — You're Emotionally Disconnected

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered why you don't feel excited anymore? Why relationships seem distant, motivation is fading, or every day feels like you're just going through the motions?
In this episode of Guys Dealings With Feelings, Aaron and Jason explore emotional numbness—not as a personality trait or weakness, but as a disconnection from ourselves that often develops over years of pushing emotions aside.
Together they discuss:
- Why many men mistake thinking for feeling
- How trauma and chronic stress disconnect us from our emotions
- The hidden cost of constantly living in our heads
- Why purpose isn't found in a paycheck or external achievement
- How reconnecting with our bodies and emotions can transform every area of life
- The role of presence, nature, awareness, and honest self-reflection in healing
This conversation challenges the belief that we're simply "not emotional" and instead offers a different perspective: maybe we've just forgotten how to listen.
If you've been feeling stuck, disconnected, isolated, or like you're surviving instead of living, this episode offers a path back toward yourself.
