Movember Real Talk Ep17 - Alex

Men Need to Adapt: Emotional Growth and Changing Gender Roles

In this final Movember series episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alex, better known as @lex_therapy on TikTok, where his thoughtful content on men's mental health has resonated with so many. Together, we explored the challenges men face in expressing vulnerability, adapting to modern gender roles, and building healthier relationships.

One of Alex’s key reflections: “Men need to adapt, and men need to change.” From the "man vs. bear" analogy to the importance of emotional resilience in boys, we delved into:

  • How TikTok has become a platform for raising awareness about men’s issues

  • The need for safe spaces where men can express vulnerability without fear of judgment

  • Why rejection can evoke dangerous responses in men—and how to manage these emotions

  • The evolving dynamics of intimacy, dating, and relationships in a changing world

Alex’s insights remind us that fostering emotional intelligence and self-awareness is not just vital for men, but for the health of our relationships and communities.
