In this powerful episode, host Josh Abbandonato sits down with Mark Azoulay, founder of Men's Therapy Online, to dive deep into the journey of authentic masculinity. Mark opens up about his recovery from addiction and how therapy and men's groups played a pivotal role in discovering his true self. They confront the challenges men face when seeking help and discuss the impact of toxic masculinity on mental health. Together, they explore how mentorship and community are essential for men to overcome 'boy psychology' and develop healthy masculinity.
