In this episode, Rish Mitra discusses his mission to raise awareness about the negative impact of toxic masculinity and the importance of vulnerability for boys and men. He shares his personal story of overcoming sexual abuse, addiction, and an abusive marriage, which led him to question societal expectations of masculinity. Rish emphasizes the need to unlearn harmful beliefs and behaviors, communicate openly, and create a supportive community for men to share their experiences. He introduces the CALM method (Communicate, Analyze, Lean In, Mitigate) as a framework for personal growth and encourages men to embrace vulnerability and challenge societal norms.
Key Takeaways:
Toxic masculinity and societal expectations have created a culture where boys and men are discouraged from expressing emotions and vulnerability.
Raising awareness about the harmful effects of toxic masculinity is crucial to prevent future generations from suffering.
Vulnerability and emotional expression are signs of strength, not weakness, and should be encouraged in boys and men.
The MeToo movement has shed light on the experiences of women, but there is a need for support and resources for men who have experienced abuse or trauma.
Unlearning harmful beliefs and behaviors is the first step towards personal growth and creating a healthier version of masculinity.
