Movember Real Talk Ep5 - Mike Joseph

"Fear is the Devil." - Embracing Vulnerability and Community for Men's Metal Health

In today’s Movember series episode, I sat down with Mike Joseph—life coach, podcaster, and advocate for reshaping masculinity. Together, we tackled some of the hardest issues men face today, from the impact of patriarchy on men’s mental health to the deep need for vulnerability and connection.

Mike shared insights from his own journey, including the challenges men face in expressing emotions and finding support. As he puts it, “Fear is the devil,” and breaking through that fear to ask for help or simply to connect can make all the difference. In this conversation, we explored:

  • The loneliness many men feel after high school, when community and friendships start to fade

  • How patriarchy creates barriers for men and women, impacting everyone’s mental health

  • The courage it takes to be vulnerable and ask for help—and why it’s a strength, not a weakness

  • The transformative role of role models and mentors in building healthier views of masculinity

This episode underscores the power of holding space for each other and recognizing that no one has to face their struggles alone. Join us as we discuss why community and support matter so much, especially in Movember.
