48 | Check Other Men: The #1 Thing Men Can Do to Support Women

How often do you ask yourself: Are women around me truly protected, seen, and believed or are we just assuming they’re “fine” because they seem strong? In this episode, I share real, personal stories, uncomfortable moments at work and in public, and the relief of finally having someone step up and say, “Next time, you won’t have to ask.” If you’re ready to hear what standing in the gap actually looks like (and why it often goes unnoticed), these moments might shift how you see advocacy and support forever. You’ll want to hear every word.

Topics Discussed:

• What “checking other men” actually means—and why it’s the #1 way to advocate for women
• Why women often feel unsafe or unprotected in public and professional spaces
• The emotional toll and exhaustion of always having to stand up for yourself as a woman
• The impact of being believed and protected, and how rare these experiences actually are for women
• What it feels like for a woman when everyday actions like asking for help or being addressed directly go unfulfilled
• The unique, often invisible burden of Black women in spaces where they’re expected to be “strong”
• Small acts that shift the emotional landscape for women everywhere

Standing in the gap is not about grand gestures or public recognition; it’s about doing something, believing women, and making every moment count. No matter who you are, you can change someone’s world by simply stepping up.

This week's affirmation for women:

"I'm worthy to be seen, believed, and protected.”

This week's affirmation for men:

"I choose to use wisdom and discernment and stand in the gap for women.”
