Dr. Steven Solomon Season 2 Episode 49

This week, we're breaking down barriers, fellas. We're challenging the outdated idea that men have to be emotionless, exploring the vital need for mental health support within law enforcement, and celebrating a legend who's never been afraid to be himself.

Inside this episode:

  • The Myth of Male Stoicism: We unpack the harmful expectations placed on men to suppress their emotions and why embracing vulnerability is true strength.
  • Ben Panitch Interview: We have a crucial conversation with Ben Panitch about the mental health realities for police officers, highlighting the importance of support and understanding for those who serve.
  • Bromotions Hall of Fame: We welcome Shaquille O'Neal into the Hall of Fame! We celebrate his incredible career and his genuine, often hilarious, personality that shows it's okay to be yourself.

If you're ready to challenge traditional ideas of masculinity, gain insight into the pressures faced by first responders, and appreciate the authenticity of a true icon, this episode is for you.
