Elevate With Sage
I’m Sage, a man who’s lived, learned, and still growing. My voice speaks from real places: lessons learned the hard way, healing that didn’t happen overnight, and the strength it takes to keep showing up when life hits back.Through meditations, affirmations, and open conversations, I create space for reflection, restoration, and elevation — especially for those who’ve carried the weight for everyone else. I speak to the ones who feel unseen, unheard, or just plain tired. Because I’ve been there too.This space is about connection, not perfection. We grow together here!

EP 5: Why Men Shut Down: The Silent Side of Emotional Intelligence (Part 2)
In this powerful follow-up to Episode 4, Sage dives deep into the emotional world many men were never taught to explore. Why Men Shut Down: The Silent Side of Emotional Intelligence uncovers the childhood conditioning, unspoken trauma, and relationship breakdowns that lead men to emotionally withdraw — even when they still show up physically.
This episode speaks directly to men who’ve been told to “man up,” and to the women who’ve been left trying to connect with a partner who’s emotionally unavailable.
🎯 Inside this episode:
- Why emotional shutdown is learned, not weakness
- Real-world stats on men, emotional health, and suicide
- How unhealed trauma shows up as silence
- What your partner and kids feel when you emotionally check out
- Tools to stop shutting down and start showing up
- A real listener letter that hits home
- Reflection prompts that will change how you see yourself
Whether you're a man learning how to reconnect with your emotions, or someone loving a man who goes silent — this episode is for you.
